Valentine's Tea '14

I am having a romantic tea this week in the spirit of Valentine's Day.  I am serving green tea with some gluten free blueberry banana muffins.  Kind of conservative I know, this is the way I splurge! 

My sweet little teacup is Limoges.

My shabby chic teapot is a vintage unmarked teapot I found in an  antique shop awhile back.

My gluten free heart shaped muffins are a real treat but not too sweet.  I will share the recipe tomorrow.  I got this gorgeous silver plated tray at the thrift store a few weeks ago for only $8!  I was so excited.  I had planned to use it for Valentine's Day.

Are you planning a sweet treat this week?  Do something nice for yourself, someone stuck in the house due to this bitter cold winter, or best of all someone you dearly love!

  6. What a gorgeous teapot which appears French. How fortunate you are in finding the teapot at an antique shop. Your heart shape muffins look delicious. I am now eating gluten free rice pasta and cooking it in chicken broth. I will return tomorrow to checkout your recipe! Have a great 14th!

  7. Looking forward to your scone recipe. I don't need to be gluten free, but I do think it's a good idea to eat less wheat, so I'm trying!

  13. I hope that the second time will be lucky, as my first comment prompted a notice of 'conflicting edits'. I just wanted to say that the teapot is lovely, and a reminder of gentler times.

  15. Hello Sherry, I am hoping to get a few photos of some tea settings as I can arrange a few props, wish you could come help me, now wouldn't that be fun?
    I am really excited about my new sterling silver teapot, I just received as a gift from my Hubby.
    An early Valentine's gift. Hope you are having a lovely, and peaceful day!
    Always, Roxy

  17. Oh my goodness Sherry, that teapot is totally gorgeous! Love the elegant shape it has, kind of reminds me of a pumpkin, so it would be a perfect teapot for a Cinderella tea. :)
    Have a lovely Valentine's Day!
