I experienced my first tea time! I just loved it. There were sandwiches, scones, and desserts. There is just a classy feeling I have when eating something small and sipping something organic. It sometimes feels like this is what people should be eating. People should be drinking more tea for their health and having more bite size fresh ingredients. I'm guilty like a lot of other people that eat poorly but I try the best I can. It is so quant and lovely to sip tea from a beautiful cup. Its just a time of relaxation and peace to me. Once I have more money I am inspired to go to thrift stores and find China and make afternoon tea foods. I have a feeling it wont be hard to find such beautiful things since people are losing sight of tea cups and serving trays. Before I know it I will be sipping tea reading a bio on Marie Antoinette and listening to Bach being at peace. Then the dog barks and the garbage needs taken out. BUT! Thats life I can't have those moments forever but I earn those little moments to myself as others should.
I love tea time! I often try to take the time to enjoy a cup while my little one is napping. If you're looking for tea time inspiration, I find that the Martha Stewart Weddings magazine often has the loveliest recipes for little sandwiches, bread sticks, cookies and the like. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt is great to know someone else enjoys tea. It seems like this era is very different from the one I like. In a weird way by liking the old times we are rebels of the new times. Martha Stewart Weddings....Oh really! I was wondering where recipes would be. Thank you very much I will check that out. And thank you for being the first to comment on my new blog :)
ReplyDeleteThere should be some good recipes on her website too!!
ReplyDeleteLook at all those yummies.We have a tea room here and the only thing not right is the clotted cream.I think that reason is in the south it's so hot here it would probably go bad.But there is nothing like little cakes and finger sandwiches and a lovely tea.I have a routine while watching my english soaps of cake and tea before bed.only thing bad is i can't sleep after.lol.
