Tea Party!

Jan at Jan and Tom’s Place is hosting a tea party, so be sure and check in over there for more awesome parties.
The timing for this is amazing because it is my spiritual mom’s birthday tea this evening and I spent several hours up at the church decorating last night. Only, I forgot my camera so I will be posting the pictures from that later…
I used quilts, vintage tea pots, and antique books to create what I feel is an old world elegant-cozy atmosphere. The way that faded chintz looks…elegant, yet comfy. 
lots of fresh flowers.
Anyway.
For this morning’s tea party I thought that I would serve a walnut genoise, a bit rich for this early but you only live once…
I suggest a cup of Earl Grey Cream Tea, mellow Earl Grey with creamy vanilla. It goes well with the rich ganache on the genoise, don’t you think?
and since this is a fantasy tea..would you mind terribly if I made it wintertime and lit a fire? Thanks. I am tired of summer…and fires are so friendly.
This is Chipotle, we just brought her home from the animal shelter wednesday. She is settling in well.
Have you ever shopped at Victorian Trading Company? I love their things but can rarely afford them, however for our tea I am wearing this Mocha Dress
Well. I have enjoyed spending time with you…come back again!
