It’s time for another fun day of viewing tablescapes in Bloggy World. Susan at Between Naps on the Porch is our hostess for this event so click on over to her blog to see all the links to different tables set for us to enjoy.
Welcome to my Friendship Tea. I’m a table leader for our Women’s Bible Study at my church and I invited the ladies over for tea. It was fun putting together a tea table. Our Bible Study Women’s Leader is part of my table and it happened to be her birthday on the day of the tea so we had an extra celebration.
The Places were set and designated with these fun vase place card holders.
We had 3 different types of tea, an Earl Grey, Peach Herbal, and a Russian Black Tea.
Cucumber- Basil sandwiches, Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Scones, Dream Cookies, Heart shaped Red Velvet mini cakes, Mock Clotted Cream and Lemon Curd and Strawberries.
Thank you for visiting my Friendship Tea.
Before you go I just wanted to show you my actual Valentine Tablescape that Dear and I ate at on Valentines Day…
Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage unless I pay them a lot of money. I’m slowly cleaning up many posts from this time period and deleting their ugly grey and black boxes with a ransom request. Such a time consuming bother.

Thursday! Wednesday hasn’t even ended and it’s Thursday already…wah! But you table is so darling! Where did you find the lovely three tiered plate holders? The one holding the sandwiches looks like it’s larger than most I’ve seen. Your always so creative when it comes to your table scapes.
