Tuesday's Tea for Two

I've been invited to a tea party at The Plumed Pen and you are welcome to join me.

You need only follow the link directly below and voilà.

There is no need to be shy. I'm new too so we'll keep each other's company.

I'm taking my tea on holiday. In some exotic land but with all the usual fare so come alone for I've poured you a cup.

Isn't the table charming? I've settled on a restrained androgynie in order not to alienate those unaccustomed to the pomp and circumstance of high tea.

Now, if your mother is anything like my crazy Jamaican mother, you are by now well convinced that a cup of tea is the 'cure-all' for whatever ails you from complex heartache to simple upset stomach. I swear no matter what my complaint she would have a tea to suggest.

Rooibos/red tea to cure insomnia. Camomile as a muscle relaxant. Green tea to say young. White tea for healthy skin, Ginger and peppermint tea aids in digestion, Jasmine tea for aroma therapy and on and on. I'm telling you the woman is relentless but I digress, we are for tea you and I.

Here I've chosen the centerpiece, delightful gardenias. They are my favorite so I do hope you like them.

As promised traditional fare. Elegant cucumber sandwiches.

Scrumptious Finger Food

A little of the sweet for those so inclined

And what tea is complete with out a decadent scone.

All right tell me have I convinced you to part take? Or would you have much rather a more English setup or maybe even a Japanese or Russian?

My Warmest Regards,

Simone
