Another lady has a friend who collects hats. What a nice surprise to be told to select a hat to wear during the tea.
We learned something about the history and etiquette of the afternoon tea.
Each place setting had a cute teapot favor. Before we left, they told us to be sure to open the bottom as there was a gift inside.
The food was delicious and beautiful. I had pineapple tea which I had never drunk before. The other choice was passion fruit tea.
We started with the sandwiches: salmon (the curled up pink in the middle), cucumber, egg salad, and chicken salad on raisin bread (my favorite).
Then we moved on to the cranberry and blueberry scones with Devonshire cream and lemon curd.
The top tier was the sweets: creme brulee, lemon tarts, chocolate covered strawberries.
Lots of nice little touches: fabric tablecloths, fine china, flower napkin rings, tinted sugar cubes, lemon rings. The hostess even brought around seconds on some of the goodies.
This is a lovely group of ladies who are a satellite of the Community Bible Study in Winona Lake. We meet at Grace Village. This event was so appropriate for our demographic.
