STRAWBERRY BUTTERMILK SCONES FOR "Tea In The Garden"

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
 help you make them!



I would never have the patience to this embroidery work.  I am not a long term project person.

  1. Hi Bernideen!

    Your 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. ♥

  5. The 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.

  7. Oh 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.
    We 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

    I agree with you about the buttermilk, also makes for a lighter scone.
