Thanks to Barb from "Grits and Glamour" for hosting today's Porch and Patio Party!
I did get a late start...but I decided to have my morning brunch on my break today in the most peaceful place at my home, on my 2nd floor Veranda Porch. Fruit is always on my menu for brunch!
Lovely flowers with the sky in view from my chair!
My favorite Romantic Homes Magazine, June issue
More lovely flowers to enjoy from the view of my chair, I have three hanging baskets of Impatiens to enjoy!
More brunch goodies! I have a scrumptious Dijon Chicken Salad on Whole Grain Wheat cut in the shape of a Carrot, and more healthy crunchies with cucumber and cheese hats!
My Tablescape for One using my new Life Collection from DaySpring. The place mat is so colorful and invites me in to truly believe that Spring is here in full swing! The Charger matches the place mat! (Don't forget to visit this link "BLOG GIVEAWAY" to get in my drawing, deadline is May 10, Midnight PDT.
My new little personal size Silver Holder w/ Blue glass liner for my Lemon Curd!
A dollup on my Scone and a lovely Italian Almond Cookie to enjoy...
Prior to my Tea Time, I love having cold water with fresh lemons and cucumbers...what a great way to hydrate your skin and feel refreshed! This Teapot / Teacup is one set for Giving Away... Be sure to click below on the appropriate link to sign up if you've not already done so.
Another view from my chair...
My resting place, with my favorite Toile Pillows~and the faux silk forsythia on the back of the chair... This chair makes me feel very special when I rest in it!
This little glass bowl of shells holds a precious place in my heart...they are collections from when our children were small and many have love notes to us on them. These are under the Boston Fern on the Veranda, right near my fingertips if I decide to reminisce...
And here you see it all together... Ahhhh....How sweet it is!

What a lovely porch and such a gorgeous place to sit and have brunch or tea or anything. Your brunch looks delicious too. I would love to join you. Hugs, Marty
I think you have enough there to share with MOI! The food looks both healthy and good.
Now, your veranda, very relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful flowers and the toile pattern pillows in the chair.....perfect. I don't have the June issue of Romantic Homes, YET. I'll have to go out this afternoon and pick up a copy, then find a cozy spot to sit and drool over the photos.
what a nice peaceful place...you did a great job
That is one cool veranda! I'm hungry now looking at the food and the dishes! Those flowers would relax me, too! ;-)
Just fabulous, dahling!!!! Don't you just love the June issue of RM's?
I need to pay more attention to all these parties... I'm doing a patio theme tomorrow for OUtdoor Wednesday.
LOVE your photos!

Oh I'll take one of everything please;) French
Wow! Can someone be relaxed and excited at the same time? I'm sure on your porch..it's possible! Food look yummy!!!
Everything about your porch is so lovely. I can see myself sitting there and enjoying that magazine.
Thank you for your birthday wishes! We had a great time!
OK, so I've been thinking. I think you need a vacation. So come on out here and stay with me, and you can COOK FOR ME and spoil me in every way imaginable. Especially with SCONES!
I guess it's time for me to start smelling more of the roses. I feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day . . .
I love your special place. I love the fact that you even have a veranda! All we have is a patio, complete with a gazillion LIZARDS!!!!! I just don't go out there unless we have company.
I need to do a post on my fear of lizards and see if anyone has a cure! :)
Wonderful post! (But I love each and every one of your posts!) Makes me want to go outside, (with a slingshot mind you,) and plant some special flowers so I can have tea there.
Hmmmmm ... did I mention we have a gazillion lizards? I dunno . . . we'll see how I brave I feel in the morning!
HUGS! Karen
Oh CC! This looks wonderful...yummy! Having had your scones and lemon curd...I know what a treat this is!! Lovely...hugs...Debbie

I must be doing something wrong . . . a quick yoghurt while walking around my garden, a coffee while I read and answer e-mail and no verandas, no perfect pillows, no scones and no time to relax. Catherine, you outshine us all - especially me!
Catherine that looks beautiful, and I love the menu too.
The cushions on your white wicker are so pretty!
Thanks for coming to visit my porch..now I know why you like white wicker..
DH says it makes him itch, LOL

What a glorious way to spend a sunny afternoon. Your porch setting looks so inviting. A good place to enjoy a little read while nibbling on those scrumptious treats. I definitely think there's plenty to share with a friend.
I'm so ready for the sunshine to come and stay awhile!
My sis in So Calif said it was 80 degrees today! I was cuddled under the blankets with the heater running when she gave me her forecast!
I posted my mothers Day ideas, that I think you'll enjoy, especially after seeing your post:D
Sweet wishes,
Sara
