I have a menu planned. I am going to make little cucumber sandwiches and ham and chicken salad. I am going to go mini on everything! I have a Paula Deen cook book and I also have a book on how to plan a tea party. Any idea's anyone would like to toss my way would be greatly appreciated!
I have a friend who left a high stress corporate job several years ago to go back to school and become a chef! I think I better call her up because that girl can whip up a three layer cake like no one else! I am sure she can give me some insight!
Scones! I know a gentleman named Don who can whip up the most delicious, light and tasty scones! He bakes them daily fresh out of his oven and sells them at a coffee cart he and his wife Marietta run at a local hospital. He has cranberry,blueberry and pecan! I can taste their delicious flavors blending with my steamy hot mug of tasty tea! Ah...
I am on my way! I just have to decide on a budget and then taste test all the fabulous bakery items. That will be the fun part!
Come join me and help me come up with a beautiful bash for my three girls!

You have all the lovely ingredients for a perfect tea.
Friends who can bake and cook, lovely china pieces and the desire to make it a real success.
What more would you need!!!
You will make it perfect, I'm sure.
There is a magazine called Tea Time that has wonderful ideas and it's fun to look at all the lovely pictures.

I would serve the sandwiches, a little bit of fruit, maybe some grapes (I have a grape salad recipe that is DIVINE if you want it), some tea cookies and just toss in FUN! Wish I could come:(
Strawberries are a must. I assume you will have several flavors of tea? Have fun. I wish I were coming!
It sounds like you have all the right things to make it a success...I can help you by trying on all your recipes...I'm good at that!!!! LOL!!
Sounds like you have all you need for a great tea party. Maybe you could have little gifts to give away. Maybe teabags tied with a ribbon in tissue paper?
Have fun!

From what you shared today, your tea party will turn out just fine. You have some lovely things. I appreciate your visit and comment.
What a lovely tea party you are planning. Sounds to me like you have it well in hand and I like Gwens suggestion of a T-gift for the guests! Have a great time sampling the goodies!
I can't think of anything else you could add except some fresh spring flowers for your centerpiece and perhaps some tea samples to send each guest home with as a nice reminder to extend this time when they feel the need.

It sounds like you have all the makings of an utterly fabulous tea party! I surely would love to attend. :-)

I love me a tea party...:) How about a Madhatter theme...with a few broken dishes in an arrangement for whimsy...remember the march hare who thros the teacups and plates...lol funny!
I wanted to let you know I am having a giveway...please stop in and enter..:) Meme
I appreciate all the wonderful comments! Barb knows I want that grape recipe! Anyone who wants to share a recipe, just e mail me! I am always so generous with recipes! I wish everyone come join us! I am thinking of adding my sister, her girls and their daughters too! I am going to check out the Tea Time magazine. Grapes and strawberries on on the list! Giveaway gifts would be great! I like the fresh flowers (Princess House had so many pretty vases through the years, I have dozens!) LOL! I like the Mad Hatter idea too! I saw it once in a tea book and all the guests wore silly hats!
Gosh, I don't know what else you could possibly need. Perhaps a little tussy-mussy of fresh flowers for each guest? Some lovely music playing in the background? A choice of teabags?
Borrow some lovely cups from a friend so everyone can have a choice? This is going to be lovely. Can't wait to see your pictures!
