Spring Tea

 We planned our spring tea to fall when we expected the peonies to bloom. We caught the tail end of the blooms and I think the table turned out very pretty! We added lemons, mint, and a sad bouquet from Aldi. We also used antique purple glass to hold the flowers, mismatching tea cups, and a pale blue tablecloth with a few vintage lace handkerchiefs.

No pictures of food this time- we had chicken bacon bites, savory cheese scones, truffles, and a strawberry jelly roll cake.

Now I'm looking forward to the Fall tea!

A Christmas Tea

The Whole Table

 Early in December I hosted a tea in our apartment for a few ladies from church. The food turned out so well and I always enjoy decorating. The ladies stayed to talk for four hours! I wanted to share my pictures here for reference later on.

Centerpieces

Our party favors were these Nativity ornaments; and each nametag had a icebreaker question on the inside

Red pears, oranges, apples, cinnamon sticks and walnuts

Cranberries, carnations and eucalyptus

The perfect Christmas tablecloth, a present from my brother last year

A Grape and Cheese Tree

The Dickens Corner

The coconut Nativity, from my childhood.

The decorative stick got a Nativity too

Nutcrackers

Scones and Wassail to go with our truffles. This came after the cheese, fruit and spinach puffs.

Tea Smith tea is the best!
