Tea Party Time!

Hello!
It's been a while since I posted anything, but life has been busy lately.
One of the things that has kept me busy is an "English Afternoon Tea" that I put on for some of my friends last week.  It was great fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed preparing everything for it.  
Lots of pics coming up!
 (please excuse the extreme bright colours on the first two pictures, don't know why???)


Here's the invitation

I made fascinators for us all to wear



 Welcome chalkboard

The table 

  English Cream Teas....of course!
Even managed to get real Devon cream.

 
Favours
Little tins of English tea in a  card stock cup & saucer 
(cut out with the "Tags, Bags, Boxes & More" Cricut cartridge)

Lovely china teacups & teapots


We had 3 kinds of sandwiches, cream cheese & cucumber, salmon & egg salad. (crusts cut off)  Veggie dippers, pickles.  Scones with jam & devon cream, petit fours, jam tarts & lemon tarts. A variety of teas.
A great way to spend an afternoon with good friends.

Bye for now, have a lovely day,
