Tea Time Tuesday–MAY 14



Our rhubarb is popping up in the garden, so I have made a rhubarb upside down cake from Martha Stewart’s website.
It didn’t come out of the pan very neatly, but it is a good-tasting cake which I make each spring.

The cups are Royal Worchester “Gold Chantilly” and the teapot is Martha Stewart’s line.

Yesterday, Mother’s Day, was great, with our children and families and my Mom here for BBQ’d steak, etc. We are so thankful for each one of them.

Yummy rhubarb desserts are so good this time of year. Ours is still quite small yet so will wait. Your china is really pretty and I like the pretty flowers on your table. Have a great week Millie!

Oh, what a yummy post, Millie! Rhubarb is one of my favourite desserts. Home made is always best and I would love to sit and sip some tea with you from one of your lovely teacups. Your geraniums are very pretty. I'm so glad you could come to tea this week. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Blessings,
Sandi

Hi Millie,
My rhubarb is huge already and I was going to try and make a strawberry rhubarb pie. I will have to save your recipe and try it sometime. Can you believe I have never cooked with mine before? Lovely setting and the pink Geraniums are a perfect addition.
hugs,
Jann

Your tea table looks so pretty! The flowers are lovely too. Now you've brought back a sweet memory for me. My mother used to make rhubarb pie and it was so good.
Thank you so much for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
