Tea for Three

My mum came to visit today, so Miss M and I decided it would be nice to have a little afternoon tea together...
We baked a batch of fairy cakes this morning...
Miss M enjoyed making a little floral arrangement for the table...
We set the table with my best tea cups, saucers, side plates and teapot...
Tea seems to taste nicer in a proper tea cup, although I must admit it can be a little nerve wracking giving your six year old a china cup...

The three of us enjoyed our little afternoon tea and agreed it was a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

  23. Your tea set is beautiful. My Nan would always give me tea served in a china cup and saucer. I was probably only about 5 but I thought I was very grown up. I recently bought a set of espresso cups and saucers in a charity shop for my 3 year old to play tea parties, she now has her eye on my vintage cake plates " but I can't have a tea party without some nice plates Mummy". I think you will find you can.
