Tea and Treats After a Meeting

The first meeting of the Garden Club was at Linderhof. Tea and treats are in order after the meeting.
The hostess provides a treat or two. My treats -- flower painted teapot cookies and a rose geranium cake.

The centerpiece is the Valentine's tulips. It is the Garden Club, after all, and there must be flowers for a centerpiece!
The hostess also provides cups, plates, napkins and cutlery. At Linderhof, paper products are rarely used and so my glass plates, pastry forks (in a silver biscuit basket) and blue and white Spode cups (no saucers -- too hard to balance) and an assortment of tea napkins.

The almond tea is served from my Grandmother's silver pot. It's sweet and almond flavored and goes so well with sweet treats. No sugar, cream or lemon needed!
And although the cookies were declared too pretty to eat . . . there was but one left when everyone was gone!

My co-hostess brought wonderful puffs filled with brandy laced creme patiserie which were topped with a strawberry and white chocolate teppenade and candied pecans.

Please join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. It's fun to see what everyone puts on their tables this Thursday!
