That DOES sound like a great day and the view is truly stunning. What a great idea to go on a tea picnic. How did you keep the tea hot?
I've reopened my Give Away, by the way. If you're interested, take a peak at my blog and sign up, if you haven't already!

I have a stainless steel thermos with the push-button top that keeps tea piping hot! I brew it at home, put in the thermos and go. It's works amazingly well.
Beautiful! I wish I was there RIGHT NOW! There used to be a lovely tea room in the carriage house at Pittock Mansion. You would have loved it! I wish it were still there. . .

Your picnic tea = perfect!
Oh that view, oh that CAKE! Glorious!
looks like a great day! Love the pic of the two of you.
So glad you had nice time. Jealous as heck that I wasn't there!
Yes, Stephanie, I am hooked on Instagram! LOL! Hopefully it will wear thin (for me) before everyone gets tired of it. It really is fun!
If you like peanut butter, you MUST try the georgian peanut butter mouse at Papa Haydn's... its fantastic!
Great to see two such dear friends against that lovely backdrop! MKP
What a perfect day. Love Papa Haydn's for dessert. My favorite is the meringue with cream and usually strawberries and a drizzle of chocolate. Now I must go. Love seeing your tea picnic too.
Goodness, Steph, it really and truly is perfect. Friends, food, views, hooray for you and Sweetcakes!
The Japanese Garden is such a beautiful place for a tea picnic. Your garden bounty looks delicious and that Champagne cake -yummy.
