Late Afternoon Tea on Tuesday
Yesterday was my birthday - I will refrain from exposing to the world how OLD I actually am.....!!LOL
And, surprise - my gifts all had a tea theme!!!!
When
in
doubt,
get me a teacup!!!
Thank you, Teresa!!!!!!
Next, was from my mom. She had a teacup that I really admired - and I told her never to sell it - leave it to me in the will!! Instead- she gave it to me for my b'day - along with a little spending $$$ to get more!!! She was afraid if she tried to buy me one, it would not suit my taste!!! Hardly...............
I REALLY need a new display cabinet now!!!!!
The best about this new collection- is that each c & s cost $2.60 each!!!! The little Wedgwood Peter Rabbit was 35 cents!!!
For those of us who have to turn the cup over to see who the maker is - I will indulge you with photos!!
For those of you not that enamored with teacup finds - I apologise!!!!! LOL
But, it's my birthday week- so I can do what I want!!!
I found a pair of these white c & s's for a dollar each - they will go with my everyday mix and match white vintage china pieces!
Also, found at the thrift store- a set of 4 Laurel Burch coasters.Perfect to set a scone upon....
( Again, sorry for Blogger's inability to rotate!!!)
Other lovely non tea b'day giftees will be shown off in another blog post..but thank you, thank you, to everyone who took the time to think of me!!!!!
In the coming weeks, I will be announcing another teacup exchange - one of these thrift shop lovelies may make it into the swap. I'll keep you posted~!!!!
Altho, I am sure you have already been there- please visit Kim and Patty for a list of other Tea on Tuesday players!!!
I Am Sooo Excited!!!!!

Big honor for me to be included among such real talent!!!!!!

Tea on Tuesday
As I sit here sipping my matcha lemonade (to be followed with quick breakfast and my yerba mate tea! before I head out the door to the thrift shop for my Tuesday volunteer), I am thinking back on a lovely day with friends.
Two friends from my old home town, made the 2 hour drive down to have tea and lunch at Mrs. Hardesty's Tea Room in Harrisonburg.
Sadly, Mrs. Hardesty's will close its doors on August 13, so I am glad we got a reservation and were able to be there one last time.
Altho' I wasn't too hungry, I had rooisbos tea in a delicate china cup, and a sweet and very light bluebery scone.
My friends had a sandwich and delicious baby greens salad. Evan had her eye on a neighboring table's dessert, only to find out that lucky lady was eating the last slice!! But there was an array of equally delicious ones to choose from. I think she picked something with lavender and white chocolate!
The tea room was packed to capacity- altho' when I decided/remembered to take photos - the crowd had cleared.
Behind the front counter is a lovely teacup quilt (I would love to have that!!) and right in front, the sniffing bar - where you can take a whiff before you order your tea.
Above (in the sideways picture that despite rotation will not show itself upright!) is the Tea Guide, with a list of every tea that is available to drink, a tiny paper napkin with a note asking lipstick wearers to use this to blot, instead of their white linen napkins. Also a tiny pot of honey - a gift to Evan and I from Montte!
Here we all are - friends since our kids were in preschool together - at least 25 years................from left, Evan, Montte and I.
Below, the view outside Mrs. Hardesty's, in historic downtown Harrisonburg, Va- and the alleyway leading to outside dining.
Thanks for joining us for tea - please stop by to see Kimmie and Patty for a list of other tea fanciers!
