{My BLISS = Tea, Chocolate & Flowers}

For taking time to sip tea together with preferably chocolate and some fresh flowers really is My BLISS!
Don't you agree?
These fragrant Narcissus Obdam we had on March 5th...
A time to slow down and savor the goodness of chocolate with tea.
Having a nice conversation and feeling blissful!

Wishing you all a lovely week ahead and thanks for stopping by.

  4. Credo che prendersi una pausa così, sorseggiando un buon the, degustando un pezzetto di ottimo cioccolato, coccolarsi con fiori splendidi, sia davvero un momento di beatitudine. Buona settimana a te e tuo marito. Paola

  15. Liebe Mariette,
    mir gefallen Blumen in Vasen sehr gut, aber bringe es nie übers Herzen welche aus dem Garten dafür zu nehmen. Jedesmal denke ich sie leben draussen länger als drinnen in einer Vase. Wünsche dir noch ganz viele Musestunden mit Tee und Schokolade alleine oder zu zweit.

    Alles Liebe
    Julia

  16. Hallo Marietta,
    Blumen gehören für mich zu einem gemütlich gedeckten Tisch dazu. Es kann auch ein kleines Sträußchen wie bei dir sein.
    Und dann noch eine Tasse Tee, das ist wunderbar.
    Viele Grüße,
    Anette

  17. Hello,Mariette.
    You have given us such a refreshing time with your white narcissus and a cup of tea. The table cloth with many small red roses is lovely too!

  18. Greetings!
    My roses are blooming now ~ a climbing variety secured to a trellis. They bring so much joy each morning I walk out to fetch our paper. Central Oregon and the high desert climate we enjoy is quite unique and different from the six States we have lived in over the years. Missouri, Illinois, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota and Florida! Enjoy your day dear friend. (Carl is doing great with diet/exercise.)

  19. Dearest Mariette; Sure is the time of the BLISS giving us refreshing time with that beautiful table setting♡♡♡ I love the sweet light yellow color of the flower.
    Thank you so much for your sweet comments; Time sure flies, doesn't it! My husband finished painting stairs, stairs always worries me because of his handicap p:-)

    Wishing you two are having a lovely week;
    Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
