A lovely afternoon for a tea.....(yesterday)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The table is set with Laura Ashely's Hazelbury teaset...a gift from friends for one special birthday.
The flowers are a new (to me) variety of primrose. This one is a grandiflora!
We served Girl Scout "lemonade" cookies and the tea is Lady Grey!
Lady Grey is a loose aromatic tea which comes in a box. It has black tea, lemon peel,orange peel, and CORNFLOWER petals (the blue!) and bergamot flavoring.
One of our group was accompanied by her 4 year old granddaughter. It was such fun to see her stirring sugar into her tea cup (filled only half full!) ...and watching all of us. I'm sure she will have some memories of a real tea party with her grand mother!
Just so you know....I have changed the layout and tried to persuade "Blogger" to start the text under the photo instead of cryptically on the side, stringing out letters rather than words. No matter what I have tried, the problem remains....[It's a good thing I am used to collage and visual elements being a bit "off" and "creative" or I would get frustrated!!!!]

How pretty everything is - the tea set, the primroses. It would have been so much fun to have tea with you, Lila.
I've not tried these G.S. cookies - or have any kind this year. Kristen was a Girl Scout through junior high, so we always had lots of cookies. Even after she grew up we still had little girls come by the house, except for this year. I miss them!
What a lovely table setting and that is a beautiful tea set.
Looks like it was a fun afternoon...what could be better then GS cookies and friends.

Your tea set is lovely, I love those Girl Scout cookies, I haven't tried these lemon ones but they do look good!
Your table looks so pretty. Who wouldn't want to have a cup of tea and some cookies when everything looks like this!
