High Tea

High Tea with Union Jack: The Charm of Home
Today I am joining Laura at Decor to Adore for High Tea.   I believe the theme is "Fit for a Queen," because we are celebrating the royal wedding between Prince William & Kate Middleton.  So, in keeping with that, I created a Union Jack table covering to set my tea on.  You can click on the link to see how I made it.

Tea cups, plates, sugar, creamer, and dessert bowls are Johnson Brothers Coaching Scenes.

The strawberries are Olga's recipe of Olga's Home and Garden Blog, click here for recipe. The strawberries were a hit at my house.  They were filled with cream cheese and whip cream piped into the strawberries.

The savory sandwiches are pimento cheese homemade from a Paula Deen recipe.  Probably not very English but, the teens eat them better than cucumber tea sandwiches.  The scones were a recipe from Lynn at Happier Than a Pig in Mud, click here for recipe.
That is a really good scone recipe.  The dough is easy to work and has the perfect texture.

It has been cloudy all day long and then for a brief moment the sun shines so brightly on this table.  May this mean a bright and happy future to Prince William and Kate!
Thank you for joining me for this fun party.

    Sherry, I have been looking forward to this since yesterday. I love it. That tablecloth that you made just sets the whole thing off, and I love the china pieces.

    Toodle Pip!

    Sherry, Your Union Jack tablecloth is perfect for the English Transferware. I just love the blues with the tartan!
    The 3 tiered stand gives your table lovely height and the goodies on it makes my mouth water.
    What a beautiful and fitting tribute to our Royal friends!

    Hi Sherry...

    My friend, you went "all out" for High Tea!!! I just adore your Union Jack tablecloth...it's stunning and sooo very appropriate for the occasion! I had to go and take a peek at how you made it...it turned out beautifully! What a talented lady you are, my friend! Well my dear, your tea table is sooo beautiful! I love the blue and white transferware and the Blue Denmark is one of my favorite "blue" patterns! Okay...your cream filled strawberries...look absolutely divine! I'm going to have to give those a try!

    Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful tea with us today for the party, my friend! Your photos are fabulous! I always love what you do!!!

    Warmest wishes,

    I do not think the Queen would sit at this table...BECAUSE it is WAY too cute for her. She never looks like she has any style and this has 'first class' written all over it. Love it! Lori L

    LOVE your dishes...may have to go search TJMaxx for a teapot to match my dishes. The Johnson Brothers dishes compliment each other very well...that's probably why I like them so much!

    Love the tablecloth, there must be a union jack thing in the air, I recently made a UJ pillow. Have you tried coronation chicken sandwiches, it is a very english recipe and tastes delicious.
