I had a Spring Tea on Saturday, it was a lot of fun! I invited a few ladies to come over and we wore our Spring dresses and hats. Of course I had to wear one of my vintage hostess aprons!
My friend Clarissa gave me the carnations and my friend Carol gave me the lacey mat under them! That was so sweet!
I used my mug rugs under the tea cups and gave one to each of my friends who came.
For dessert I made Cherry meringue dessert, I got the recipe from Taste of Home years ago and made individual desserts with the meringue. (recipe here) I only had four green napkins so my napkin was yellow. :)
I loved the bacon wrapped asparagus! (recipe here)
There were five of us. Clarissa said next time to ask people to help with the food, that would make it easier and cheaper! LOL
This was my food table.
I did not really like the cucumber sandwiches but did like the pineapple, pecan cream cheese sandwiches, they just needed some more pecans. 4 oz cream cheese, a drained small can of crushed pineapple and I would put at least 1/2 cup to 1 cup of chopped pecans. I also made balsamic strawberries with whipped cream. Yum! (recipe here)
Of course I had to make Earl Grey Tea cookies! (recipe here)I have decided to have a tea every Spring and Fall. I think the one in the fall might be a whimsical Mad Hatter party.
Did you do anything to celebrate Spring?
