Tea in the guest room

I set up this little table for tea in our guest room for an overnight visitor.

I thought that she might be tired & hungry upon arrival &

yet it was too late for lunch & too early for dinner.

The floor length tablecloth is from Ballard Designs &

the cutwork lace topper is one I brought home from Venice, Italy.

I was told it was done by hand.

The teapot was a gift from a friend &

it matches beautifully with the cream & sugar bowl that go with my Lenox china.

I've collected the silver trays & pitchers over the years.

This one I filled with little peach roses & baby's breath.

This photo shows a close up of the Irish Belleek china cup & saucers.

They are eggshell thin & I absolutely treasure them!

They were given to me by our dear sweet neighbor in FL when she downsized.

You can also have a good peek at the wonderful lace in the table overlay in the above photo.

I only took one photo towards evening with the candle lit,

as this room was difficult to photograph.

I wanted you to see the one & only Waterford napkin ring I own!

I bought it in the duty free shop as we were leaving Ireland,

thinking I would start a collection & add to it over the years, but sadly, I never did.

May I highly recommend the individual cheesecakes, shown above?

I'm not affiliated in any way.

I found them at Sam's Club & they are DELICIOUS!!

Three different flavors come in the one box &

they are so dainty & pretty for a party or a last minute gathering.

They make a tasty little treat to go along with a hot cup of tea in the afternoon.

Won't you join me?
