Sorry to get started late today
but life has been summertime
busy as it is for you too I imagine!
My tea in the garden today
honors our first President
George Washington
and his wife Martha.
I love this old Homer and
Laughlin transferware.
Yesterday I baked a lemon pie and
doubled the recipe and crust so I had
enough for a deep dish pie and
24 little tarts:

Our Canadian friends celebrated on Sunday
and now here we are celebrating on the 4th:
Happy 4th of July, Bernideen! You have a splendid garden and your bouquet is gorgeous! Oh my, those lemon tarts look so good. It is very hot today here in Charlottetown so a cool lemon tart would be lovely. I love your red Homer and Laughlin transferware and it is perfect for your holiday! Your tea time is a wonderful setting and anyone of us would love to join you. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful tea, Bernideen! As always, your bouquet is gorgeous! The tarts look delicious too. A few years ago you shared a lemon tart recipe. I have made it a couple of times and it's really good.
ReplyDeleteI'm just swooning over your George and Martha tea today, Bernideen! How I love your tea set!! I also loved seeing your little lady that's by your pie and tarts. Those Susan Paley designs always make me smile. I don't mind if I do have a little tart before I leave your beautiful tea in the garden. Are those cone flowers that you've shown? I really must plant those in my garden, because I love them and the array of colors that they come in. Thanks for hosting and Happy 4th to you!
ReplyDeleteOMGOODNESS, Bernideen. I hope you know that you are a true artist when it comes to setting up a tea table and making things beautiful. I love this- you did such a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a blessed and peaceful 4th of July- xo Diana
Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour transferware today is just gorgeous as is your garden! Your flowers are amazing and your baking looks divine. Hubby and I are watching our waist-lines at the moment but I would love a lemon tart with a cup of tea please.
Happy July 4th! Blessings, Karen
ReplyDeleteOh my word, what a stunning tea time dear Bernideen, how I wish I lived near you, would I be elated seating at this tea table, with such lovely transferware and delish goodies !
Thank you for hosting dear.

ReplyDeleteHappy 4th! Lemon Meringue is a 4th of July family memory for our family...my Aunt Ruth, whom I am named after, always made it for family gatherings. That looks perfect! Lovely historic tribute for the 4th. And your garden looks just wonderful! Have a summery week!
