A Low Tea To Share on Teatime Tuesday


I have learned from Lady Katherine, the host of Teatime Tuesday, that a tea on a coffee table is called a low tea. That is what mine is today. I serve you on my imported rock coffee table. I have used my mini cake plates that I recently made from Dollar Tree items.

The dainty spring teapot  sits on top of a cup.










Napkins are embroidered doilies from my mothers collection.







This basket was used at Easter when I was growing up to hold our colored eggs.

The tea offered is one of my favorite teas: Kalahari Red Tea, Highlands Honey flavor. It is a mild flavored, non caffeine herb tea. And our simple snack is chocolate hazlenut spread on crackers.

I am delighted that you chose to join me for my evening low tea and thank you for the return invite at Lady Katherine Tea Parlor.
