Downton Abbey Tea



Hello  everyone,
I just finished watching Downton Abbey tonight. I photographed this tea 
table yesterday and I wanted to have it ready for you on Monday morning.
I just love  watching Masterpiece ~ Downton Abbey. And I love the sisters.
As a Christmas gift I received the delicious Downton Abbey tea and after the holidays while shopping at World Market and found this adorable tea towel...
Don't you love this quote. I bought this tea towel in a heart beat, and
I also bought the scone mix I featured HERE and made these delicious scones.
My tea time would not be complete without lemon curd. Our neighbor 
has a large lemon tree and I have been busy making lemon curd.
Our Camellia tree is blooming with 'Pink Perfection' the tree is
over 8 feet tall and more than 45 years old.

The tea container has a photograph of the 'Three sisters' and I set
my tea for three. 
~Thomas Ivery~Bavaria Germany Tea cup, saucer and dessert plate
Lemon curd and Strawberry jam from France.
Tea cup, saucer and dessert plate from Bavaria
Silver tea pot, sugar and creamer from America
Tea and scones from England

and my great-grandmother's sterling silver 
The three sisters are so beautiful.

Original Downton Abbey scone mix. I added currents.  When I 
eat a scone with currents it makes me feel as if I'm in England eating a scone 
 and drinking tea in a small tea room in the English countryside.
One more look at the ladies before we say good-bye.

Thank you for visiting today 
I hope you enjoyed our look at
Downton Abbey 
Joyously,
Betty

  1. What a gorgeous setting...the sisters would be right at home. I love the fun tea towel! I have some Downton teas too...some I like, some I don't. Your scones turned out beautifully! How nice to have a lemon tree close for fresh lemon curd. Such pretty teacups, and I LOVE camellias! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

  2. I loooove Downton Abbey! Although, frankly the first few episodes of this season were boring to me. Your tea party looks like fun! I love having currants in my scones too!

  4. Betty, I love your pretty teacups and the container of tea with the three sisters. I do love that show! Your scones look wonderful spotted with the currants and fresh lemon curd; yum! The tea towel is adorable and I like Mary's quote. Your camellias are heavenly and such a gorgeous colour! I really enjoyed your post and thank you for sharing it with us.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  6. What an absolutely lovely tea time. I think it's just perfect.

    Sure wish I could be there with you - everything looks so delicious and beautiful!

    I cannot believe last night's episode, wow. Won't say anything else in case peeps are just now trying to catch up - but WOW.

    Thank you for a lovely teatime today!

  7. Your elegant tea setting is worthy of the Dowager! I'm also a DA fan and wish that there were more DA teas available north of the border. I managed to find the English Rose Tea at a local store last year and quite enjoyed the herbal tea.

  8. Such a beautiful tea table! I wish we got Downtown Abbey on my cable network to watch, the way everyone talks it sounds like it's an amazing show.

    Your table is just beautiful! Thanks so much for linking up at the Table It Link Party.

  9. I love your Downton Abby tea-scape. Do you like the tea? I've seen it in several different places and haven't bought any yet. I have an over abundance of tea, but it sure is tempting! I'll be so sad when the show comes to an end. Meanwhile, I will enjoy. Your china is lovely and just the talk of lemon curd makes my mouth water! Happy Tea Day!

  11. I am probably the only woman who has never watched that show. I know it wouldn't be "me."

  13. Dear Betty:
    I loved your post and I have to say I missed my first time every Downtown on TV for a good reason. We closed on our retirement house in Missouri Friday and are 1/2 moved. Tomorrow we drive back to Colorado to do more work and packing. Our neighbor their told us there was `12" of snow. Ha! I loved your setting with homemade lemon curd. Beautiful cups and saucers and scones! Thanks for sharing.

  14. How pretty! We're all going to miss Downton Abbey when it's gone. It's been part of our lives for six winters!

  20. Hello, I came over from Home Sweet Home. Your pictures are just beautiful. I got to help with and attend a Downton Abbey Tea last Saturday. I hope to post some pictures in the near feature. My friend made homemade lemon curd, too. It was so delicious. I found a wonderful scone recipe and have made them at least 7 times in the last few weeks. I have really enjoyed getting in the spirit of Downton Abbey.
    I was tickled that I knew that was a Pink Perfection camellia in your pictures. My great aunt had a couple of bushes in her yard (they are still there-now my brother's home).
    I'm your latest follower.
