Celebrate Spring Tea

Spring Blooms From My Garden

Love the fragrence of Freesia, the color of Alstroemeria, and the abundance of pink Orchids.  All grown by ME!

The first Celebrate Spring Tea was held today.  It's a first in many more to come!  The tablecloth was begun by me during the winter when I taught in Idaho, but I never finished it.  My mom, bless her heart, took the job over and finished all the cross stitching on the cloth.  Love that her hands did such a wonderful job.

The menu for the tea consisted of melt in your mouth tea cookies, orange scones (thinking that the pink glazes wasn't such a great idea) with orange honey butter or lemon curd, chocolate banana cake, cherry tarts, chocolate covered vanilla cookies topped with walnuts, egg salad sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches( chicken, pecans, crasins, celery and apple pieces) and cucumber radish and cream cheese sandwiches.  Oh my was it good!

It was such a great day with my knitting group and a few quilting friends!  Was such great day filled with laughter, good food and great conversation!

Now I need to begin the search for decorations (no bunnies- not Easter but spring tea), serving plates etc. for this annual event.   Each guest received a small hexagon mug rug made with tea cup fabric. Looking forward to November and my Thanksgiving Tea!
