Holiday Tea with June!

June and I have made this little tradition of going to tea twice a year. Once around our birthdays and again during the holidays. We went to Queen Mary's for their Holiday High Tea. I enjoyed Winter Wonderland and I think she had Partridge in a Pear. Both were yummy yummy.

June surprised me - got me this book...for reals? I love PW!! I have made many of her delights. :) Visit her blog if you haven't before...but I'm pretty sure I've linked you many times. Check out how she makes steak...you will drool then go out to get a steak just to make it. No lie. The woman speaks to my hearty soul.




Back to tea...

They have these fancy new timers for tea. You can steep your tea according to your preference of strength - strong to light. Pretty neato.






Sorbet to cleanse the palet. Coconut is always my favorite.





Um, check out that spread. It doesn't look like a lot but it SO is - we never can conquer dessert. I usually bring it home and Husband devours the yummies when I walk in the door.




Buds since daycare days!


My day went not as planned to say the least...let's just say the cards didn't fall where they should have and I was a stress monster because of it. I was on my way to get my babies - until I thought I could run one more errand and fix my cell phone. But, I locked my keys in my car. Yes, locked in my car. I called my friend, Tina to have her call AAA to help me because my cell phone battery was bad - like it will not charge bad which was why I was at the store. I was actually trying to hook up a new phone when I mistakenly locked my keys in the car. Great, right? The last person I wanted to bother was Husband, I knew he had work stuff to do and was at a practice game for soccer - AAA came and saved the day.



I picked up the kids. Finally. Got Isa to Izzie's 10th birthday party at a local hotel and am now ready for bed...whew! What a weekend - 'Tis the Season!

You know I am a fan of high tea, so I must ask you.... why not eat the desserts first and bring the sandwiches home to the fam??

Denise you are one smart lady! Whoever made up that rule that desert is last anyways...I think we should definitely modify that one! =-)
Thanks for a fun time and thanks for being such a great bestie! Hugs!
