Where did the month of May go? The expression 'time flies by in the wink of an eye' is apt! On Saturday the skies were blue and the day warm. The clink of teacups and the chatter of ladies gathered together to raise money for a worthy cause could only mean one thing.. Australia's biggest morning tea. You've been to Jenny's afternoon tea here before, it's an elegant affair with it's mix of attending 'Royals'.. Doulton and Albert that is :) raising funds in this way is a stylish notion.. and then there was the lady in the houndstooth check suit, hand made she told me.. j'adore! It's WA Day today, a long weekend.. I'm looking forward to catching up on stylish posts around the world. Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..
I like the reflection of the houndstooth clad lady in the tea service too Grace!
ReplyDeleteClassy! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteVery stylish, Grace!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it...stylish in every sense of the word.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grace, for coming up with this challenging topic. It was fun (but really difficult for me). I am looking forward to seeing all the results too.

Wow! What a tea service!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun and classy, too!! Great shots for the day, as always, Grace!! Hope you have a wonderful new week!!
ReplyDeleteVery classy, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThe top shot is also a great reflection one. You can clearly see the lady's pied de poule tailleur on the tea set.
ReplyDeleteYour photographic skills are showing here...that first shot is stunning. And the lady is, indeed, stylish.
ReplyDeleteElegant indeed, Grace!
ReplyDeleteOh-la-la. You be stylin'!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant, Grace. A houndstooth fabric like that puts me in mind of David Jones ... I am impressed with the "hand-made".
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say "Thank you" for the choice of theme. I have researched my topic and shall keep it going all week. I learnt so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be elegant Royal Doultons, but do they have pink periwinkles like Hyacinth's? (Keeping Up Appearnces).
ReplyDeleteI know all is serious, but I could not help bursting out a hearty laugh when I read your post.
Great photo by the way. Hope you've had a great week end.
Hyacinth really should have been there.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff Grace, I hope you enjoyed the tea it all look wonderful...
ReplyDeleteIn rather love the whole idea. the pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful BW picture.
ReplyDeleteGood theme day shot.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is s style. Reminds me of Margaret Thacher's. Which would be just fine if you are a Tory.
ReplyDeletelove the lady in houndstooth ... happy theme day
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea set.
ReplyDeleteI also think of 'twin set & pearls'!
ReplyDeleteWhat an elegant tea service! Beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteStylish Grace, very stylish. Look at that fantastic tea service! I love it.
ReplyDeleteHow to be stylish - you gave the perfect answers! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the lady dressed up in houndstooth check, which I love (I keep a flacon of Diorissimo in the classic houndstooth design for that very reason).
Perfectly stylish Grace. Now where is my silver coffee service?
ReplyDeleteWhat a stylish tea service, Grace !
ReplyDeleteSo sophisticated!
ReplyDeleteFunny you call this "houndstooth", we call it here the french name "Pied de coque" (Rooster foot) and the smaller version "Pied de poule" (Chicken foot). If the lady made the suit herself she is very clever and stylish!
ReplyDeleteImpressive... and definitely stylish!
ReplyDeleteLoved the narrative!
ReplyDeletebtw Terrific topic.
ReplyDeleteI had a houndstooth sports jacket back in my collegiate past, along with a bunch of double-brested suits. Was I stylin?
Very stylish silver tea set.
ReplyDeleteAn image that could be from any year of the last 50 years. Classic as well as stylish. Love the black and white.
ReplyDeleteMy parents had such a set, too - for decoration only. Or the cups just went too hot, I can´t remember.
ReplyDeleteHappy WA day, Grace!
this is super!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have tea with you Grace!

Great theme choice Grace and what a fine and stylish tea party that is!
ReplyDeleteGreat theme choice Grace and what a fine and stylish tea party that is!
ReplyDeleteMy hat off, you've done it in style Grace!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a stylish place. Love the grand dame!
ReplyDeleteMy mother's morning teas were not on that scale but were always very stylish.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a place with STYLE from A-Z
ReplyDeleteThat indeed looks to be a stylish setting. Houndstooth to some, David Jones pattern to others.
ReplyDeleteThe woman must be a very good seamstress because her suit looks professionally made. The pattern itself is not one that is easy to match. The tea service completes the image of elegance and style!!
ReplyDeleteLove the reflections in the first image.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve made a great Theme Day post. I'm glad you picked both of these photos and the text to share with us.
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed quite stylish!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant...
ReplyDeleteLovely take on theme, Grace! Classic styles and old traditions seem to go together well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Grace, for our wonderful suggestion for our Theme Day. I've enjoyed seeing so many different interpretations of 'stylish'. This tea service is perfect --- always stylish and in vogue. Hope all's well in your corner of the world!
