Anne of Green Gables Tea

I am having tea today in honor of one of my favorite literary characters, Anne of Green Gables.  Anne has been my kindred spirit for many years.  So, when Sandi of Rose Chintz Cottage was having an Anne of Green Gables Tea I was sure to participate.  Sandi, by the way, lives on Prince Edward Island, Anne's fictional home.



My teacup is by Hotel Balfour.  I have used it many times for the blog.

I have some original copies of Anne of Green Gables.  They were reprints from when it was a hit from the original printing.

I am serving Banana Split ice cream by Blue Bunny.  It is a hit with my kids.
My green and white transferware is is an ironstone pattern called Avondale  by J & G Meakin.

My absolute favorite quote by Anne was in the TV show that aired on PBS years ago (1985).

"But if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't."  
 Anybody that really knows me will die laughing here, because I say quite a lot in person!

 And my second favorite quote:

 "Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds."
- Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Do you have a favorite quote from Anne of Green Gables?
