As for the little sandwiches and cakes I could eat many of those. I hope you have a fabulous December with your family and friends. <br /><br />P.S I love portrait of a lady.<br /><br />ElizabethElizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-25341548109776280392012-12-01T12:31:28.095-08:002012-12-01T12:31:28.095-08:00I've never really liked tea, but I love the id...I've never really liked tea, but I love the idea of a tea party. All the little cakes & sandwiches and good conversation are more enticing to me than the tea is so I would go for them.

Hostess is right, there are so many good de-caffeinated teas for drinking with all those goodies. For some reason I am able to drink caffeinated tea until about 5:00 pm and it doesn't affect my sleep. You really captured the spirit of what I love about this custom, slowing down and enjoying life and friends more.<br />xx SundaySunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-25975897961493918522012-12-01T07:16:30.618-08:002012-12-01T07:16:30.618-08:00Thanks Leslie, I'll look for them today.

Once the temperatures begin to fall I exchange to ice tea pitcher for a pot of steaming tea. It is my treat after a day at school. A tea party is a fabulous way to begin the season. Cranberry/Orange is the perfect flavor for the season. I may need to make these this weekend....or maybe this afternoon. <br /><br />I hope your daughter is not have too difficult of a time with the weather in San Francisco has been experiencing. It sounds like they are receiving a pounding with the rain. Have a wonderful weekend.

Starting when Meghan was 5, the two of us and our friends Judy and Sara Sandstrom would go to tea At Trumps. When Trumps closed we went to various hotels that have wonderful teas. Since I drink tea every morning (Earl Grey) I love good tea. Of course scones are a favorite also. I must say I am a fan of current scones. You could never deny my Anglo heritage.Judie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380471184442805260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-55593694626751313042012-11-30T09:29:24.563-08:002012-11-30T09:29:24.563-08:00Sunday, once again we are on the same wave length....Sunday, once again we are on the same wave length. Just this morning I began looking for a tea shop in Portland to find the perfect gift for my tea loving sister. As for the scones, I will try them for sure. I love making scones and if they're from Ina Garten I'm sure they're wonderful.

Doesn't the caffeine bother you, and everybody? And herbal tea just isn't quite the same thing with finger sandwiches, scones, etc. <br />What I really love about this idea, is the ritual and idea of going slower and enjoying life and friends more. Taking a break. This isn't something that comes easily for me, but am looking for ways to incorporate nice breaks into my daily routine. That book in the first photo "Mysterious Objects" looks fascinating.KSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251064646063353242noreply@blogger.com
