As the weather tips toward summer here, I am reflecting on a special spring tea party that I recently enjoyed. A friend did the hosting, and I am so, so grateful! I know how much detailed planning and work goes into one of these events. When I am invited as a guest, I am so thankful!
The food was wonderful. Delicate and delicious sandwiches, Guinness scones with Devonshire cream, and fore dessert - macarons and a special orange cake served with creme fraiche. I savored each bite.

It rained as we drank the tea, and then abruptly stopped! Here are two photos, one with rain and one without.
I love how tea connects me with so many people in so many ways!

It all looks fabulous. What a great friend.
Oh so pretty! I have two Lavender Rose teacups, now I want an entire set.
So pretty! I love the RA Lavender Rose pattern.
Both tea times look so special. That is beautiful china and the food is beautiful too.
That is a beautiful tea table! I must confess I immediately coveted that pretty china and thought oh wow, someone has been collecting forever and amassed a lovely array of that gorgeous Lavender Rose pattern ... so I was surprised she only recently began collecting. I usually mix and match, but my goodness, this elegant focus on a single pattern is stunning!
