Valentine's Day Tea Party
In honor of Valentine's Day, and because I enjoy entertaining, I invited two neighbors over for an early Valentine's Day tea.
I set the table with Old Country Roses china and tablecloth.
A little treat to take home at each place setting
I placed two teapots on the table to be sure there was plenty of hot water.
On my tiered server, mini cherry cheesecakes and butterscotch scones
Did you notice the scones are ♥ heart-shaped?
I served butter and strawberry jam with my scones. One could also serve whipped cream, Devonshire cream, or lemon curd.
Yummy! I also served chicken salad sandwiches and an Asian cabbage salad.
A nice variety of teas were available.
And as they say, "A good time was had by all."

Love the menu and even more the table-setting. What a good idea to host a tea and invite your neighbors.Will you be my neighbor ?
I am going to forward a link to this post because my husband's youngest sister just inherited her mother's Old Rose china set and I know she'll really love it.
Old Country Roses make the perfect set to use on Valentine's Day! Lovely, inviting table. I'm sure your guests enjoyed themselves. :)
I wish I was one of your neighbors so I could come to tea :-) Your heart shaped scones look so yummy. And glad to see those sweet little boxes of Russell Stover on the table. (local company)
Beautiful tea ware! Everything matches so perfectly! And the treats all look delicious! Sounds like you had an enjoyable day!
