Join me for tea?
Wandering into the backyard, I found a lovely table set for afternoon tea...
... delicious cakes on beautiful plates...
... a pot of tea...
... delicate old tea cups waiting to be filled, Madeleines and scones beckoning...
... a charming magazine, a cup of tea steeping, a couple delicious sweets...
Such beauty could only be in honor of A Fanciful Twist's annual Mad Tea Party. Care to join me for tea this afternoon? I'll save you a savory or two...
Many thanks to the lovely and talented Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist for hosting such a divine party. Be sure to visit her blog for a complete list of participants.

ReplyDeleteHello there Bella,
ReplyDeleteYour delightful teatime vignettes and teacups are just amazing! So beautiful!
37 teatime posts ago a wonderful thing happened for me that I just love to share.., I began my little, 'Tuesday Tea For Two' blog party teatime in my little corner of the blogging world..,
I am delighted to invite you to experience more 'tea tastings', so to speak, as well as to celebrate what I lovingly refer to as;'Tuesday And Wednesday Teatime In Blogland'!
You see, I love 'teatime in blogland' so much that I have three teatime memes; one is a shared one..,
This week marks my 37th,'Tuesday Tea For Two', my 28th, 'Wednesday Tea For Me And Thee'.~ Also there is now a shared meme,our 9th,'Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday' that is shared with my dear friend Pam @ http://breathoffreshair-paperbutterfly.blogspot.com
Whew!~ That's a lot of teapartying fun!~ I also regularly list the links and partake with as many teatimes in blogland that I can find, (and they also kindly join in the fun with me by partcipating with my Mr. Linky, links)..,
Won't you please except my warm invitation to also join in the fun? ~ It would be a pleasure to also have you join in with the ever broadening teatime in blogland experience, and come, 'follow the tea trolley laden with goodies', as we all share yet another 'tea-lightful' cuppa and some more tea party treats galore!
Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee
