Hello dear friends
one of my favorite meeting places with friends is
The FlorenTine Tea Rooms
It has a certain old time elegance
which I love
and a collection of pretty mis-matched china
all the rage now.
I enjoy drinking my tea from
a fine bone china cup - don't you?
A small delicious club sandwich
followed by a yummy cake
topped with yoghurt or cream
is my usual choice.
Pretty cake stands waiting to be filled
with delicacies.

Today I'm joining these tea parties
Ruth at Tuesday Cuppa Tea
Terri at Tea Cup Tuesday
Kathy at A Return to Loveliness
Bernideen at Friends Sharing Tea
Do pop over for some old time elegance
for all things tea!

Hi Shane,
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming and elegant tea room! From the goodies that accompany afternoon tea to the porcelain, mismatched china, the atmosphere is pure indulgence and calm.
Hope your knee is better!

What a beautiful tea room with gracious atmosphere and lovely tea cups and saucers! The food looks wonderful and I am so glad you shared this with everyone at Friends Sharing Tea!
ReplyDeleteHello Shane,
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to visit this tea room! The atmosphere must be lovely judging by the china and the food. It all looks very tempting. Thank you for sharing and coming to tea. Yes, I am praying for dear Madelief and her girls.
Blessings,
Sandi
Beautiful tea room and china! I love mismatched china as well.
ReplyDeleteI will keep your dear friend and daughter's in my loving thoughts.

Terri
How I would love sitting here with you and sipping tea. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to have tea there! Lovely! So elegant! I am sorry for your friend and will pray for her. I am glad you are improving, but I hope you are feeling encouraged soon. Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea.

I sure would like to eat there. Pretty tea cups.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tea room, Shane; I would love to eat there too. Yes, I enjoy my tea in a pretty china cup most days, and have a collection of mis-matched pretty china which is greatly loved. Praying for Madelief and her family. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea room, Shane! Thank you for sharing all the beautiful things there.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for Madelief, as I know what it's like to lose a hubby to cancer.
I hope your knee gets better soon. xxoo
That tearoom looks priceless to me; roses, mis-matched china and scrumptious cakes too!
ReplyDeleteI was heartbroken on reading Madelief's terrible news. I have witness, since Jan's cancer was diagnosed a year ago, Madelief's determination to stay upbeat and cheery on her stunning blog without letting anything of her torment slip. She is an amazing lady.

Tea rooms such as you've featured are so charming - love the mismatched china and the glassware. Pretty is good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteHello Shane,
ReplyDeleteOh that looks like somewhere I would love to visit one day! I have a cup and saucer in that same scalloped shape. Yes, mismatched china is so popular and I hope it remains so for the sake of my business! I set up a high tea for 90 people at a historic property at a wedding on the weekend. The china looked so lovely set out 'en masse'. We also served the tea which meant we were busy but being able to see the reaction of the bride and groom and their guests was very special. I am providing china for a christening in a couple of weeks and very excited to see it featured in a styling feature in a bridal magazine which comes out this week. I will send you the link to the online version when it goes live!
Beautiful pictures of a gorgeous tea room Shane. Just love all the old vintage china & that cake looks delicious. So sorry to hear your knee is still giving you bother, do hope the Dr sorts it out for you my friend. x0x
ReplyDeleteHello Shane
ReplyDeleteThis is an elegant tea room and your lunch looks delicious. Yes, nothing like a bone china teacup to make sipping tea a pleasurable experience.

ReplyDeleteDear Shane,
