Preparing is so Much Fun!!!

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!  photo christmasparty110.jpg
Most of the dishes  have been  brought out of storage, washed and    ready to set..  now stored under cover on the table.
Most of my cups are  from my Royal Albert collection  ... I  would buy one every year on vacation.



I brought out my mother's Fostoria set of  party  ware.. 


The party favors, Dove Candies are  wrapped in tulle and  ready to be presented.
Menu cards for  each place setting are  ready,

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 serviettes are ironed and   ready...

and now I'm off to polish silver...  on my,  where is a stool?!?!
PS: Today I sat the table..tomorrow I will   arrange the flowers..

Each place setting has a  tea  time quote  and a menu card 

 I love this tea  sign!
 The food will be served from the parlor!
Everything is now under wraps  waiting for the big day!!!

    What 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.

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
