Here are the instructions for this week's contribution to the tea Blogathon:
"Share a creative afternoon tea table setting. Linens, serving pieces, teapots and teacup, tea accoutrement's and accessories, centerpieces, tea trays or three-tiers, and more. Show one way you enjoy creating a memorable tea experience. This is your opportunity to show the world the fun you have when you create your own special tea experience. Then. . .invite over a friend or neighbor and share some tea together. That way all your work is not for ought."
I set up my tea party for a Mother/Daughter afternoon tea using one of my favorite tea sets in a rose chintz pattern. Vintage-looking pink candleholders gave the setting a nostalgic feel. I served Royal Albert English Afternoon Tea with a decadent chocolate mousse tart. Delicious!
The sugar bowl and creamer were my grandmother's. 
Napkins were linen with crochet lace edging. 
The silver-plate demi spoons were a find on one of my antique mall outings with my daughter. Oh, so much fun!

ReplyDeleteA P.S. to my prevous comment: I simply LOVE your pink candlesticks. So beautiful and perfect for a romantic table. I have a set of pink depression glass dishware that I enjoy serving tea with, and candlesticks like yours would be perfect. Do you sell them in your shop? I will have to look for some.
