Tea DELIGHTS....



How yummy!!! Chocolate covered GIGANTIC strawberries, punchbowl cake (too good for words!)...a first-white chocolate berry tarts THE BEST!....an array of sandwiches with my signature ribbon Tea Sandwich of dried apricots, pecans, cream cheese and honey...soooo good! A pleasant mild taste with crunch.

One of our favorites is the cheese ball...this year the gal that makes it..put small portions in mini cupcake cups...perfect, since it's time consuming and awkward to scoop the cheese off the ball..though it looks pretty beforehand!

This is another of the crafted tea tables... Whimsical...with birds, feathers etc.

" A little birdie told me"



...a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Ecclesiastes 10:20b

and A COUNTRY HOME.... this had so much detail..the napkins were bandannas with a wooden spoon attached with a bread recipe.

The verse.. Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11



and finally...our tea gift...




a nice porcelain tea caddy. Our scrap booking gal and her daughters made the cute flowers for the front of the boxes. The middle of the flower has a teapot stamp! Cute touch. The ladies loved the gift which can be used for used tea bags, rings, soap for guest..or even set as decor on a shelf.

I hope that you have gleaned some ideas here for your next TEA!! I'd love to know...and see your photos too!

TEA and FRIENDS!!!

HOPE

Everything looks so beautiful! The little sandwich with the ribbon around it is just too cute, like a little gift!
I love the idea of dividing a cheeseball into individual servings. Definitely have to remember that one when Christmas Eve rolls around, since it's the one day a year I actually throw a party.
Your blog is really nice, btw. I am visiting some of my followers today, but alas, a few of them don't seem to have sites. One is "Nina," who listed your blog as a favorite. I can see why!
