Welcome to my Carousel Tea

I'm so glad you could make it!  Please come in.


We have three for tea today.  I set the table with some of my German porcelain sets that are off white with lots of gold.  I love the cups of these sets, which I have found to be typical of my German porcelain, with their wide bowls with elaborate decorations in the cups.
 
 
 
 
 
Do you like the centerpiece?  This is one of my favorites in my carousel collection.

 
 
The music box plays the theme song from "Titanic"; press play below if you would like to hear the music during our tea.
 
 
 
Please have a seat at the head of the table--you're the guest!


 
And, of course, the menu is at your place setting. 
 


 
Would you like some tea?  I'm serving a tea called "Carnival."  This pot is very sentimental to me, my Aunt Ed gave it to me when I was a child because she knew I liked tea and carousels.  She passed away a couple of years ago.
 
 

 
 
Which sandwich would you like to start with?  Of course there are scones to follow.
 

 
Don't forget about dessert!   
 
 
 
I'm so glad you could join me for tea!  Check back later this week for more information about the Carnival tea and the menu.
