hosted our Daisy Garden Tea Party today!
Comments (3)Thanks! LL - We do use my regular china about twice a year (Thanksgiving and seder), but this other set has been sitting in storage for years! It's a very delicate, feminine pattern - not my usual style (and definitely not my dh's style!), but perfect for a tea party. I still need to load pics......See MoreTea Party table for the Partea Planners 'tea party'
Comments (37)purplemoon, thank you, well, since this treatment is going to last at least until Aug, I have to deal with good days (few) and not so good days, but I try to not have the bad days totally run my life...they just slow it down LOL Paintingfool, you just gave me a good belly laugh (Godiva) ha, only in my dreams, especially lately LOL I am glad that the tablesetting bug has gone to your family, there is nothing more pleasing than people actually using their "treasures" rather than making a shrine to them. To be lovinging touched and sharing a food event whether simple or elaborate is what makes the dishes special, because they were used with love. And each time the dishes are used they acquire a new patina of love every time they are used, now that is "priceless". And wow, 6 sisters, that means 6 opporutunites of beautiful tables and fun! dining delight, thank you too for your sweet words. I do hope what thoughts that come streaming out of this head (especially lately) are of some help to everyone, I defineatly do not have a claim to "engaging prose", I do the best I can, but of course if anyone has any questions I am always glad to take a poke at it. I do not consider myself an expert in any way. As I had said in the main forum under another thread, I do follow certain rules, but I do put up alot of others for grabs LOL, at this stage of my life I try to please me and others, the whole idea is to have fun, bring in color, excitement to what is a normal routine in most of our lives. My ears are burning in a good way, thankyou :) luvs, the Party Planner seems to be way behind on posting the photos, but if you go to her most recent comment about being busy...I think, you will see people that participated with comments, click on there blog sign and their blog will come up and you will see their teaparties....See MoreScones....
Comments (4)Sorry I am so late, but I have been away from the computer all week! The party was wonderful and there should be some pictures to show you eventually. I did not make scones, I made small sausage kolaces since I needed something more solid with my chips and dips and fruit...etc.. The ladies were SO excited and really pleased that we went to the effort of having a party just for them. Our congregation is rather elderly, so a tea party was a special event! I was amazed at how excited they were beforehand..they all dressed up and we had a ball! I appreciate all the help that I got at this board...I was thinking of you all when we were doing up the tables!...See MoreIdeas for a baby shower/tea party
Comments (15)Thanks for all the ideas. Compumom, unfortunately, I bought the mushroom turnovers last week, so I'll stick with them. However, I agree that a few more fresh items would be nice. I think I'll make some cherry tomato & fresh mozzarella skewers. Marinate the small mozzarella balls and use both red & golden tomatoes. Depending on how energetic I am, I might even add some marinated mushrooms too. I also will include a bowl of cubed fresh pineapple. I don't want to add any other fruits because I don't want to upstage the fruit tart my daughter-in-law is making. Thanks again for your help and suggestions. I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time. Here's the Pimento Cheese recipe: Posted by: woodie2 on Mon, Jan 24, 05 I don't really have many suggestions for tea sandwiches, but I do have this lovely recipe from Cindy Mac for Pimento Cheese, that Teresa made me remember. WORLD'S BEST PIMENTO CHEESE 4 tbls. mayonnaise 1 (3-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, at room temperature 3 cloves garlic Handful of fresh parsley Several vigorous shots of Tabasco and Pickapepper sauces 1 cup pecans 1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimentos with the juice 12 ozs. extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, grated Puree until smooth in food processor the mayonnaise, cream cheese, garlic, parsley and sauces. Turn into a bowl. Coarsely chop pecans. Add pecans and pimentos with juice to the mayonnaise mixture. Add grated cheese. Stir well to combine. Store in refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving. The spread is even better the next day. Serve on bread, crackers or on vegetables....See Moreeld6161

Do people ever tell the lady in the white dress and black hat that she resembles Joanne Woodward?

5 years agoI planned the tea party. It's The Densler House, which is a bed and breakfast and the tea room is Hearts Desire Tea Room. House was built in the mid 1800's. Present owners bought it back in 2004, along with a ghost (cute story about the ghost).
