Reprise - Out for Tea

Last fall we drove to the East Coast and spent a week in a house on Cape Cod.    It was a wonderful trip and one day -- The "Daisies" and Husband Jim went to Sandwich . . . and we had a delightful day.
We called ourselves The "Daisies" because we were being driven!!!!

This is my original post from last fall -- 

We spent a week in September on Cape Cod.

Which is far away from the prairie of Kansas!

One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to Sandwich

where Husband Jim

drove "The Daisies"

The Daises each got to pick something they wanted to see

And we all went along.

The First Daisy chose:

The Thornton Burgess Museum

A well-known long time writer of children's books.

Her children had adored them

I had read them but didn't realize it for I was a mere child.

An interesting museum

And a fascinating house.

The Second Daisy chose:

The Greenbriar Jam Kitchen

Making jams here since 1903 with fresh fruit and sugar and not much else in small batches.

Daisy Two would like to own a jam kitchen and she was as enthralled as I with this wonderful kitchen and the products it produced.

The Third Daisy (ME) chose:

The Dunbar Tea Room

for lunch.

A quaint and cozy tearoom.

What you would expect to find in New England

And who wouldn't love a tea room

which uses blue and white china!

Blue Willow to be exact!

The menu featured

A history of the house

A special tea

We each ordered 

A pot of Earl Grey.   Leaves, please.   So we all had our personal strainer.

The cream (whipped cream not clotted) and jams on a plate to share.

But we each got our own curate of sandwiches, scones and sweets.

The scones were delicious especially slathered in cream and jam.

We eyed the offerings on the dessert table.    The sponge cake looks very good!

Not a vignette but a picture

that hung in the ladies room.

Sigh!

A darling sign by the entrance to the tea room.

After lunch we three Daisies agreed that we wanted to go antiquing.

And we did!

I got a precious silver napkin ring engraved with not only a name but December 25, 1869!

And at the Antique Mall I found

This lavabo.

I have one like it that I really don't know what to do with.

And after seeing this price tag, I'm thinking that I need to take it off 

the back fence and find a more prominent place for it!

We Daisies enjoyed our day in Sandwich.

We have some lovely memories

of museums, and jam kitchens and teas and antiques.
