Invitation to Tea
Fabulous Friends!
I love Cath Kidston style
Yummy desserts
I had "the girls" over for tea and a movie, Becoming Jane. Even though I had "major DVD malfunctions" we had a lovely time watching (most of) the movie. My DVD player died toward the end of the movie so I had to describe the end of the movie to my friends :( During the movie we enjoyed Cherry Cardamon scones with Devon cream and Rose Tree Cottage tea.It was a gorgeous day in sunny So Cal, so lunch on the back patio was fabulous! I served Black & Blue sandwiches (roast beef with bleu cheese spread), Smoked Turkey & Brie on baguette, green salad with mandarin oranges, Gorgonzola and candied walnuts and Raspberry lemonade. For dessert, I served brownies, lemon squares, Madelaine's and fruit tarts.
My friend, Lissa, recently returned from a trip in Amish country and brought us all back a souvenir of a quilted key chain.
While we were discussing me hosting a backyard Sound of Music Sing-a-long this summer, I told my friends the very first song my children heard was "Eidelweiss". I sang it to each one of my 3 children right after they were born. Without hesitation, 4 of us broke out into song, doing our best to harmonize. I just love my friends!
Next month, my friends, Suzanne and Belinda, are hosting a lawn croquet tea party. I can't wait!
What a lovely tea party! And what fun friends you have! I enjoyed your beautiful decor, your pretty invitation, the yummy sounding menu, and all the fine details you put into your Becoming Jane tea!

Your tea party looks great fun. I wondered if you would be interested in this post from my blog about Jane Austen. http://zetor-mogsblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/miss-austen-regrets.html
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, and perfect! Do you have the scone recipe posted anywhere? I love things made with cardamon.

Oh what fun and how beautiful everything was!! What a fabulous idea for a tea...
ReplyDeleteHeavenly! That's all I can say because if I had attended your beautiful party I would have thought I'd died and gone to heaven!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a lovely tea party and all the food sounds so delicious! too bad your DVD player died. The end of the movie is such a tear jerker, don't you think?
