A Friendship Tea
Hello Everyone!
Welcome to Tea
As the guests arrived they were invited to have some refreshments before going into the dining room for tea.
Louise our hostess had something for everyone. Champagne, Wine, Sparkling Cider and Sherry.
Salted nuts in the autumn leaf.
And a spot of Sherry
And fabulous Table arrangements
Louise's home is absolutely beautiful. This Fall arrangement is so beautiful on her table top.
As the guests enter the dining room they see the sideboard with delicious sweets for dessert.
Harvest Honey Cupcakes~Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
Fresh Strawberries
Chocolate~Chocolate~Chocolate
A beautiful flower arrangement and beautiful antique dishes galore.
I was so delighted to prepare the luncheon and the bonus was to photograph the beautiful surroundings.
Absolutely breathtaking.
Willow Brook Chicken Salad
Antique dessert plate and cup and saucer at every place setting
and beautiful linens
As I'm writing this post I discovered that I did not ask the name of the beautiful Sterling Sliver Flatware.
Louise did tell me some of the dishes belonged to her mother who is now 98 years young and some of the dishes belonged to her mother-in-law and most of the dishes Louise has collected over the past 40 some years.
~Louise~
Please forgive me if I didn't get all the information correct. I think blog land will get the idea...
The place mats are just precious
This dessert plate, cup and saucer are 100 years old.
I did remember that interesting piece of information!!!
I just went from one place setting to another looking at each piece in awe.
Open-Face cucumber sandwiches and Putting on The Ritz Egg Salad Sandwiches were served.
Beautiful Bowl to hold the Scones~
Louise is Canadian and on her last trip home she bought the lemon curd hoping for a special occasion to use it. The strawberry jam is wonderful imported French jam we can buy in some grocery stores in the the United States. It has the best flavor when spread on a scone. Butter and whipped cream were also served.
The perfect centerpiece. So lovely and didn't block any guests view.
~Great decorating tip~
To Best Friends
The hostess is the beautiful lady in yellow
