Good Day Tea and Baking Friends!!
I am getting the Tea Party started early again this week as we are driving back to Minnesota today and I go back to work on Tuesday.
I had a GREAT time in Nebraska!!
This week I would like to show a LOVELY and
unique way to serve your tea time spreads...
In Daylilies!!
This idea came from the May/June 2006 issue of Tea Time that
I dug out of my Mom's archives!

Isn't this just a delightful idea?
I whipped up some herbed cream cheese and an herbed butter and then used boursin cheese spread I bought at the store.
Of course my Mom's garden was happy to lend a few daylilies for this whimsical presentation!
The original TeaTime "recipe" actually indicated that you could EAT the daylily with the herbed cream cheese spread inside as a "sandwich" but I don't think I would be a fan of that approach, however, we served our afternoon tea time
spreads in these flowers and it was a
fabulous splash of color and worked fantastic!
I LOVE going through her old magazines...
it is like a wonderful treasure hunt!
I always find new and inspirational things to bake and
whimsical tea time information and tablescapes.
I bounced around my Mom's house snapping several photos of her amazing tea things this weekend.
I would like to share with you the teacup that started it all...
My Mom reminded me this weekend that this was the very FIRST teacup I bought her. I was still in graduate school and lived in a tiny apartment in Anoka, MN. My place was within walking distance from the Mad Hatter Tea Room and a bunch a
GREAT antique shops.
When she would come to visit we would meander through these stores and from there we began our collection of
tea things and priceless memories.
And finally a heartfelt CONGRATS to
Kathryn Ross from The Writers Reverie
