For example, did you pick up the saucer, and then hold the saucer while you picked up the cup, etc.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428425311135519034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-63598946638380216972009-04-10T22:29:00.000-04:002009-04-10T22:29:00.000-04:00Great post!

I grew up in the outback of Australia and we always had "tea" around 5:30 or 6pm, which was really dinner.<BR/>We have "morning tea" around 10am which was Tea and biscuits (cookies) and "afternoon tea" around 4pm which was Tea and cakes.<BR/><BR/>Consequently, I love "High Tea." I have had "High Tea" in many cities in the US, in many cities in the U.K. In Europe, Hong Kong and China.<BR/><BR/>In Australia we specialize in "Devonshire Tea" which is Tea with Scones and Jam and Cream!<BR/>Scrumptious!<BR/><BR/>There's nothing like a good cup of tea! I have a sign in my kitchen that says, "While there is tea, there is hope!"gale bateshttp://www.mymentorbiz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-81407540948944205802009-04-08T15:11:00.000-04:002009-04-08T15:11:00.000-04:00Fun post!

I was surprised at how many women had never been to a tea party before. The guests seemed to really enjoy it and I had fun planning it. I just gave my mom a gift cert. to a local tea house. Now I can dazzle her with my knowledge of tea history LOL!QNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-17452527245191317442009-04-08T10:36:00.000-04:002009-04-08T10:36:00.000-04:00Marissa, That does make you wonder... =)Marissa, That does make you wonder... =)Addiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216247764038459405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-21023855957156657052009-04-08T07:15:00.000-04:002009-04-08T07:15:00.000-04:00This was a very interesting post.

It's a decatant afternoon spread of treats and savories. Quite fun and calorie laden. A must try.Christina Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459203755170266842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-7413155593738762682009-04-07T21:11:00.000-04:002009-04-07T21:11:00.000-04:00Ooh, thank you, Ink Mage!
