~English Tea Party- Part 2~

~Let Them Eat Cake~

The party continues with lots of photos.

I made sugar cookies,

with teapot cookie cutters.

I made 3 different sizes.

I iced them with red and blue!

Virginia made scones.

They looked so pretty!

I made Giada de Laurentiis recipe for

Lavender & Lemon cookies.

They were delicious!

I wanted to make our place setting name tags for the tea party.

I painted some peat pots white and then added 

some cut outs that I found at Michael's 

and painted them with chalkboard paint.

Glued them all together to make a festive Tea Party place setting.

I saw this recipe using Korbel Rose Champagne &

 a splash of Creme Yvette.

Tami make the prettiest ice bucket using flowers.

It looked so special.

I had to buy this beautiful bottle of wine.

Did you notice I even made butter roses and 

placed them on little glass plates?

I picked edible flowers that morning 

from our garden and washed them off to dry.

Virginia and Mary helped make fresh sandwiches using;

cream cheese

 cucumbers, watercress, flowers and turkey and jelly.

They looked so elegant on the tray.

The color of the flowers were gorgeous.

Yuri made a beautiful salad. 

I was so busy with the party,

 I forgot to take a picture, sorry Yuri. It was delicious!

Mary made a carrot soup, so yummy!

I made two quiches.

Spinach, mushrooms and swiss cheese in one.

The other one, I added bacon to it.

I loved making these different size butterflies to place everywhere.

Some souvenir teapots from England.

A London underground map.

Some little touches here and there.

It was a beautiful day in San Diego. 

So, I had another table ready just in case. 

We had plenty of places to sit.

Stan picked fresh flowers from our garden.

I took lots of photos.

So tomorrow,

I'll show you more of the party!
