Tea Time Tuesday this Week

Simple tea tray for this week, my very first Polish Tea Pot, two little bubble-cups, tray and trivet.
Afternoon tea is standard fare in Sewtopia. It is usually a simple affair, tea, maybe a little 2 bite sandwich, a cookie sometimes. It is that little respite, midday, to shore up the Sewist before the evening activities. Prepping for dinner, answering phone calls, planning ahead for tomorrow. I make lists, study the mail, relax.

One of my favorites, The Fortnum & Mason Afternoon Blend. I think this is my second tin since last Summer.

I had this little trivet for several years, can't remember from where.
Isn't she cute?
  • I have changed my tea routine, just a bit. I have many teapots and cups.  Mostly they sit about, used rarely and some...never. I plan to make a new tray each week, some varied and interesting combinations are in store. 
  • I like to wrap up the afternoon's sewing with a cup of tea. So far, this new routine for the New Year is working fairly well.
  •  I rarely bake sweets anymore, if requested, I will give it a go but if they are here, they are just too tempting.
