SETTING THE TABLE FOR A TEA LUNCHEON

This Saturday I am having a few  senior

ladies over for a tea luncheon.  I 

was wanting to do an Afternoon Tea

but I think a tea luncheon is a better

plan for me. 

To have an Afternoon Tea I would be making 3 savory finger foods and 3 sweet finger foods, a salad and scones.  I have my table all set

using a spring pansy theme:

  For a luncheon I will serve a

 vegetable salad, a fruit salad, chicken salad croissants and a 

dessert.  So you see, that is a whole

 lot less work.  Of course, we will have 

hot and iced tea too.

I have a nice big teapot with the

tea cozy I made from an old vintage

runner that had pansy embroidery. 

 This week my husband and I drove westward to Overland Park Kansas 

to the Glenwood Antique Mall and 

I love this Victorian cake stand I found.

I really enjoy having ladies over

but at my age I think I will be keeping

the size of the group smaller.  This

group will be 5 ladies plus myself

which is much easier to handle.

Will be you having a tea soon?

Or a luncheon?  What do you 

think about the "gift of hospitality"?

I will try to take some photos with

the ladies but I must say, I often

get so busy that I forget to do that.
