Welcome to my second Tea Party Tuesday. I am so happy that you could come!
I made some banana bread for you.
I polished my silver tea service. This precious set was a wedding present that my mom was given when she got married. My mother always used this teapot for tea and I have many happy memories of sitting and chatting with my mom and my sister as my mother poured tea from it.
I've chosen some very pretty Noritake teacups that I got at Goodwill for 50 cents each.
The table in my studio is set.
I've sliced the banana bread.
It is a beautiful day here in North Carolina so I have the patio door open. I thought that would be a nice treat for all of you who are still in the thick of winter, a reminder that spring is on its way. It really is!
I've been doing a little bit of puttering, freshening up things around here,blowing out the winter cobwebs and welcoming spring. After we've had our tea I'll show you what I've done. I hope you've got lots of time to visit today.
Thanks for coming to my tea party.

I'm so so glad that spring is in the air Rhondi. Your tea party looks divine. I wish I was there to enjoy your banana bread, my favorite. I love how your pretty silver picks up the pink pattern on your tablecloth. I had to look twice ; )
ReplyDeleteOnly 5 more sleeps before I head out to visit my wonderful blogging friends.

Have a great evening.

OOOO, Banana Bread - my favorite, and yours looks so moist and delicious. My mouth is watering. That silver tea set and those tea cups are beautiful. How wonderful that it brings back memories of tea with your mother, and I cannot believe you got those for 50 cents! I linked up to the tea party. I hope I'm not too late. Thank you for hosting. laurie
ReplyDeleteThank you Rhondi, you are so kind! How did you know I love banana bread so much. Humm, and so moist. And what a gorgeous tea-pot. What was your mom's name? Oh, lovely weather... Well today there is so much dust in the atmosphere in Cyprus that I have to stay indoors due to my crazy allergies. Yes, that's why my eyes are so swollen, but never mind... Can I have some more tea, please? and here's my Klosjes, i brought them along so i could show them to you and we could stitch a few together while we visit...

ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.
Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteJust finding your blog for the first time--it's delightful. Came this direction via Natasha, so we've been around the globe. I adore your Goodwill "find." What a beautiful way to treat yourself for just pennies!

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting another Tea Party Tuesday! I love tea, both hot and cold. It is truly my beverage of choice. Your table looks so inviting. The banana bread looks so yummy. Your silver tea set is such a treasure. Just beautiful! My husband and I received a sterling tea pot for a wedding gift from his parents. It was also handed down by his grandmother. Family heirlooms are so very special! I linked up to your party. I will enjoy visiting the other participants as well.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the tea and banana bread. Your always such a gracious host. I like your tea set. Do you put cinnamon in your bread before backing? I do often. The kids love cinnamon and so do I. Of course there is always a spread of Nutella. :)
Have a exciting day!
