Tea Time Tuesday

Welcome to my Tuesday Tea Time, although it was the Thursday evening. I was having a
jewellery demo at my house, and saw Sandi's strawberry shortcakes in the jar, thought of doing
that, but don't have any small jars or sealers (we don't take them at the auction anymore), I was
going to have to go out and buy the jars, which didn't make sense so had some small white bowls
that I used. They are great for women in the evening, they don't like to eat big. Here is a picture
of the strawberry shortcakes.


 
they were a big hit and only one left over for hubby, also had strawberries with the white
chocolate and mascarpone,



and my usual cupcakes, tried to do roses on them, but it was so hot that day, that I ran out of
 patience


A couple of weeks ago we sold a cloche like this one and for some reason I wasn't thinking
and
didn't buy it, then I get this one off amazon-duh go figure, cheaper at the auction.
 It is wonderful
goes right over the three tier serving plates.

It was so hot that I serverd ice tea, in these pretty pink stemmed glasses, the tea was in a large decanter with a spout, and the ice goes in the bottom, due to the heat had ice in the top and
lemons. Everyone enjoyed it, was to busy serving to get a picture.


the glasses above are on a pretty new tray that I got at Bowrings, along with a two plate
serving
 plates and a teapot. I will show them at a later date.


That night after everyone went home and it had cooled down, we had our nightly tea, this
is my everyday teapot that we do use every evening and the Beatrix pottery china teacups
that I thought I mentioned last week, (but didn't)   
NO TREATS at all --it was a day of icing, cake mixes, strawberries, whipped cream, angel
cake, white chocolate, mascarpone,  (not to mention that I had made mini banana loaves
with
 honey butter) all this adds up to five pounds...
I thought I had written about these china mugs, their are four of them, each one represents
the seasons, I have had them for over 25 years and they are one of my favorites, they are
all
 different colours, are made by Royal Doulton, Brambly Hedge-summer, winter, fall, spring.
 My sister-in-law gave me the four and I bought the same for her, also have a cup and
saucer.

Thank you for visiting,
I am sharing with Sandi Tea Time Tuesday
and Martha Tea Cup Tuesday

  5. Hello Betty,
    Your shortcakes look wonderful in their little bowls, and I LOVE your pink stemmed glasses; so pretty in pink! The teapot and tray are lovely and I think I would love those cups. I can't see them very well but I love Beatrix!

    Betty, my Anne of Green Gables Tea won't be very complicated at all. Just share your tea things as usual and if you would like to share something from my menu {which I will share next week}, all you have to do is let me know ahead of time what you will be making {if you decide to make something. It's not an obligation, just a fun thing.} and I will gladly post your link with your goodie in my post that week. If you have any questions, just email me, OK? Thank you for sharing your lovely post and enjoy your day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  6. Your strawberry shortcakes look sweet in the bowls, and the rest of the goodies look tempting too. I like the pink goblets, I've found many things at Bowrings myself.
