TEA PARTIES ARE SO LOVELY, AND MAY I SAY, ALSO ELEGANT. THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF TEA PARTIES, BUT THE KIND I LIKE THE MOST IS AFTERNOON TEA. MY DAUGHTER JACKIE AND I HAVE A TEA LUNCHEON EVERY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
TO START.......FRESH FLOWERS ARE SO PRETTY ON THE TABLE AND THE SCENT IS SO NICE.
THIS PAST WEDNESDAY I MADE CHICKEN ROLL-UPS, STUFFED WITH BREAD STUFFING AND SAUSAGE, MIXED VEGETABLES, AND COLE SLAW WITH CRANBERRIES AND WALNUTS, AND TOAST ROUNDS. WE EACH HAD OUR OWN POT OF TEA, AND MANY TEAS TO CHOOSE FROM. FOR DESSERT WE HAD PUDDING, CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA WITH COOKIE CRUMB CRUST AND SOME SPRINKLED ON TOP. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WEDNESDAY.
MY NAUTICAL TEA HOLDER, WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF DELICIOUS TEA......EARL GREY, ENGLISH BREAKFAST, AND IRISH BREAKFAST TEA.
A POT OF TEA, AND WARMER.
AS YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THE SEA, MY TABLE WAS SET WITH SHELLS AND A MERMAID.
SINCE OUR RAINY WEATHER HAS FINALLY STOPPED I DECIDED TO GIVE A LITTLE TEA PARTY IN THE GARDEN. I SET IT UP IN THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS GARDEN, AND SHE KEEPS ADDING TO IT EVERY YEAR.
THERE ARE THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE, AND BUNNIES.
AND.....OF COURSE THE GROUNDHOG FAMILY.
OUR BEAUTIFUL LAUREL IS BLOOMING, IT GROWS WILD ALL OVER THE PLACE, IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
OUR GUESTS OF HONOR AT THE TEA PARTY ARE OLD NELL, AND LOUELLA. THEY ARE ALSO CELEBRATING MEMORIAL DAY.
THIS IS OLD NELL, SHE LIKES THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE.
THIS IS LOUELLA, SHE'S EVERYBODY'S FRIEND.
THEY LOVE HAVING TEA IN THE GARDEN ON SATURDAY, THANKS TO BERNIDEEN.
Hi Rizzi, what a wonderful Wednesday tradition of afternoon tea. Looks like you two really had a feast. That groundhog family is so cute. And your tea party guests look like they could use a spot of tea and some scrumptious treats. :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Tammy

ReplyDeleteAunt Riz, this is so lovely. Wednesdays would be my favorite day of the week if I had this to look forward to. The food looks so delicious. Nell and Louella are just precious at their table all decked out for Memorial Day. So sweet.
