The big day - the Spring Fling (virtual) Tea Party at ArtsyMama's "house". I have my tea tray ready - more cups available if hoards of you come by around 4 p.m. I have tea to suit everyone - Earl Grey, Harrods No. 16, P.G. Tips, English Breakfast, Assam, Constant Comment, Lemon Verbena, Peppermint etc.
There will be tiny cup cakes for tiny appetites, however my special Gateau de Mamy au Poire will be going into the oven around noon, ready to slice for you at tea time - served with real whipped creme and sliced almonds.
I love to serve tea in my Victorian gazebo. Looking forward to meeting you, serving you, and sharing special tea tales on the first day of Spring 2007.
For those of you wondering what this is all about - visit ArtsyMama at http://artsymama.blogspot.com/ and enjoy the party!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a divine place to have a tea party, thanks for letting us come and play, I adore the saying on the little plates and we have had many gorgeous treats today, pop by Lilly Cottage in Australia and we will give you a glass of bubbles and we can watch out for koalas in the trees and breathe in fresh country air. We have been so busy today we have posted two posts and all the guests have been amazing! Have a sparkling day, Linda and Laura Lilly Cottage.
