I love old vintage linens and doilies and keep them organized by season and theme. I decided to pull out the strawberry ones and found I had several so I am enjoying tea time with them this morning in the garden.
My garden is bursting forth with Queen Anne's Lace and I am loving it!
I am sharing some Strawberry Buttermilk scones today. Please have one and also pour yourself of lovely cup of tea. The scone recipe came from The Smitten Kitchen Blog. I did substitute buttermilk which I do a lot as it is cheaper than heavy cream.
You could make these scones yourself
as they were easy to make!
Jeremy Fisher would love to

Hi Bernideen!
ReplyDeleteYour garden teas are a true highlight to the blog party world - I so enjoy them, and regret that this summer I have had very little ability to set up lovely teas. With all the rain and this dumb foot, well, it's all passed me by....so I am sharing a little giveaway today and a couple of pics of teacups. Hope that's ok with you. Thanks for hosting. Big hugs. ♥
Hi Bernideen. I love all your strawberry linens, and your scones look wonderful! So glad you were able to post today...hope the GGB sale has gone as planned. Thanks for hosting and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Hi Bernideen! Are you officially retired? If so, congratulations and best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteYour tea in the garden with your lovely vintage linens is soooo pretty. I adore all things strawberry and I just so admire your beautiful things. Thank you for hosting your lovely tea party.
Beautiful garden tea today with the strawberry linens and the strawberry scones. I have enjoyed a number of Smitten Kitchen recipes and this just seems so good. Thank you for the buttermilk suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThe queen annes lace is so gorgeous, they really adorn your garden. I always love your tea in the garden, ever so pretty. You are inspiring me to have one like that at my own place someday. It sure ly is a delight to have an afternoon tea with a friend there, or in the company of a good book :-) Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry embroidery is stunning and that together with enjoying strawberry scones in your garden must be a wonderful afternoon.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Bernideen, your strawberry scones look fabulous! I was tempted to make strawberry muffins instead of shortcake for my tea this week but today being my father's birthday and he loved shortcake, I decided on that instead. But oh dear, your scones look so inviting and I will have to try those soon. Your tea table looks very pretty there with the QAL around! You will want to plant some "Lace" in your next garden too. The linens are special and you do have a lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteWe are having the worst weather right now. It's been cold and rainy for over a week and it's hardly safe to go outdoors because the mosquitoes are so bad. Little chance of setting up a tea out on my deck these days. Hopefully by the end of the week it will warm up with some sunshine. Summer is so short here. Thanks for sharing and joining my little tea party.
Blessings,
Sandi
Oh my, the setting in the garden with such gorgeous linen and china is to die for!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week Bernideen. Wish I could have a couple of your scones too.

Your garden looks amazing as always. The embroidered tablecloths really shine in that setting. I haven't embroidered in so long.
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry scones look delicious and perfect for summer. Thanks for including the recipe.
Thanks for hosting, Bernideen. Your vintage strawberry linens are delighful! Alas, I don't have the skill or patience for embroidery.
ReplyDeleteYour scones look lovely as does your garden tea! I'm afraid it's too hot here to enjoy tea in the garden! Sigh! But love your setting, your linens!
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour strawberry linens are so pretty and so is your garden. I also love your White china teacups, teapot and cream and sugar. I hope that you are now enjoying your retirement! Happy Tea Day Dear Friend and Thank you for hosting! Karen

I have a weakness for vintage strawberry themed items, and cannot decide which of your embroidered pieces I like best. They are all so lovely!

ReplyDeleteYour scones and garden, oh so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the buttermilk, also makes for a lighter scone.
Hi Bernideen,
