Why yes, those favors are for you to take home. How have you been?

What have you been doing with yourself? You don’t say! Well that’s delightful!

The weather has been a bit dreadful the last couple of days.

May I offer you some strawberries and cream?

Of course I baked! Would you care for some cookies? Let’s see… there’s black bottom cups, sugar cookies, nut horns, thumbprints and lady locks…

Oh.. and pizzelles! They’re made from my Italian grandmother’s recipe.

The tea’s ready. Would you like cream or sugar with your tea?

  5. Wow, what a great blog site and your photos are just beautiful! Your favors were so creative and how wonderful that your guests can take them home. Let me know if you are willing to share your pizzelle recipe, as they look really scrumptious and I would love to try my hand in making them. Have a good weekend!

  6. Well well well. My first visit to your home and I don't want to leave. I knew that would happen!!!! You have totally outdone yourself and spoiled us all for an afternoon of tea and the most delicious sweets! And I LOVE my rose filled favor...that is such a sweet sentiment, you shouldn't have. But I'm so glad you did.
    Your hard work and preparation is very appreciated...thank you for having us over.
    Today was simply lovely!
    Your number ONE fan,
    everything vintage

  10. Thanks for coming by my tea party. I am new to this so I am gathering ideas and recipes up a storm. I love your blog. I can't believe I got rid of all my hats and gloves and vintage things, but on to the simple pleasure of meeting new folks. Blessings

  11. Good afternoon, I'm stopping by to say hello, and Happy Monday (and for some, happy blue Monday or happy belated Pink Saturday - WHEW!)

    I am just in awe - what a gorgeous post.

    My blog topic today is about a man, a dog, a love story, and a bit about embroidery. Please stop by if you have a moment.
