So this is a very busy week.. working on the house and getting things done in preparation for my lovely tea party..
I have my menu planned...
Assorted teas
Cranberry Orange Scones
Assorted tea Sandwiches
Cranberry orange compote
Triple Chocolate Cake Squares
These are my tried and true and everyone's favorite Christmas scones!! My best friend put in an order for them at the tea!
Most of the dishes have been brought out of storage, washed and ready to set.. now stored under cover on the table.
I brought out my mother's Fostoria set of party ware..
My fairy collection is offered as a type of theme... remmembering and sharing our best memories of long ago! We'll see if we can remember!.!
The food will be served from the parlor!

ReplyDeleteDear Schotzy:
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful teatime you planned. The menu is so pretty and I am sure everyone will totally enjoy themselves. I think it is a good idea to prepare over several days! I do that too. Thanks so much for sharing.
Schotzy, it's a lot of work, but so worth it when you see what a treat it is for your friends! Beautiful. And I love that you do as much as possible ahead of time--that's what I do.
