Lemon Cheescake Tea

With such a pretty cake, I had to serve tea. This is the lemon cheesecake I made recently, recipe here.

The teacup is Royal Albert: Old Country Roses Soft Pink Lace. I just love a chintz pattern on any teaware. The teapot isn't by Royal Albert but, it matched quite nicely.

Here is a peek at the cake plate I used; it is a piece of lavender transferware. The name on it is Palestine.

A better look at the teapot, it is labeled: Arthurwood. I like the addition of the little forget-me-nots woven into this rose pattern.

The bouquet came from the garden. This is what is in bloom right now: rudabeckia, calendula, yarrow, double feverfew, and batchelor's button. I started all of these from seed. The garden is really maturing. It is exciting to see the flowers get established. I'll be sharing more of that in the cottage garden posts.

Until next time! 

In Victory,
