A casual tea and since neither of us take anything in our tea, just cups and saucers -- but a wee tea cloth tea napkin. There's no other way at Linderhof.
Besides a nice visit, we discussed fall classes that I would be teaching at her shop. Ideas flowed and I am eager for this fall's classes. Should be some fun Thursday nights at Life + Style!
My Spode was just right for the tea for two -- the Spode teapot and two teacups. There is nothing like blue and white Spode for afternoon tea.
The cookies were her perfected chocolate chip and some pecan cookies that her father favored.

The cookies were her perfected chocolate chip and some pecan cookies that her father favored.Both were yummy and went very well with the real English tea I brewed.
Besides the cookies, Cynthia brought me a get-well gift. Cynthia knows me and my love of herbs -- her gift was this wonderful book which I shall treasure.
And after saying goodbye, after our visit, I poured myself the last cup of tea and went through the book cover to cover. It's a wonderful book. One I shall treasure. And parts of it may become part of my herb presentations.

Hi: I can smell the cookies from here. Everything looks so pretty and peaceful. Have a wonderful week dear friend. Blessings, Martha
Everything looks inviting, but since I have a love affair with blue and whites, the scenes are esp. lovely!
Your Spode set is beautiful. I love blue and white. Such a great friend you have to bring you a beautiful herb book and cookies! Hope you are making a swift recovery.
It is so nice when friends can have tea on the spur of the moment.
In the semi-rural area I live in, I like to think of it as country hospitality.
The book your brought you is a very thoughful gift and her cookies look yummy.
What a lovely friend and so thoughtful. Your tea is beautiful as always. I love the colors of the orange and the blue. Those are the colors I am going to use in my family room redo. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

How wonderful to have a friend come by for tea and what fun that she brought a gift! Spode is a wonderful afternoon tea companion. My aunt collected Spode for years and she would have nothing else.
