Kathy of The Delightsome Life hosts this beautiful theme each week... and Rhoda from Southern Hospitality Blog hosts Thrifty Treasures... Now Im not usually into thrifting unless Im trying to think of ways to remove items from our home.... but last week, I had a weak moment.. being totally devoted to all things British I can not pass up anything that speaks tea time and such to me...so when I saw these two items at a consignment shop I gave in....
the Harry and David collector jar
just seemed like the perfect storage container for the multitude of various tea bags I have accumulated.... and at $7.00 it suited me as I had seen similar jars for twice that much.... but not as simple and complimentary to my kitchen a s this one...
But the piece de resistance'
was this lovely melamine tray...
I love that it is melamine... lightweight, durable, and just a huge bargain a t $3.oo!
The next thing you know Im enjoying an afternoon reverie with my ice cold glass of Lemon Tea Cooler, biscotti, and fruit cup!!!

and perusing my book,
In the Royal Manner
Expert Advice on Ettiquette and Entertainment from the former Butler to Diana Princess of Wales....
Paul Burrell
I love reading his book... his twenty year connection with British royalty has instilled in him an easy grace that extends itself into every word..
The book is chock full of delightful entertaining ideas and recipes,
as well as tips and proper guidelines for service and party planning... Not that I am planning a lavish affair anytime soon, however, just to read on them lifts my ideals and inspires me to be a more gracious hostess ...who knows..perhaps an event is just around the corner!!!
