Tea Time Tuesday.....
Welcome to Tea Time Tuesday!!! I hope everyone enjoys themselves, we have quite a few Teas' to attend so lets go. Some of my favorite memories of Tea are in England....here I am on my birthday in Windsor UK, so excited to go to Tea. Tea varies from village to village (photo, below thanks to Mary at Across the Pond) is a typical "Cream Tea" which is served with Fruit Sconces (Raisin) or Plain scones and all the trimmings but very informal. Each pub in every village has Tea, each has its on unique set of Tea China , below, is a photo I took after I had tea at a tiny pub on a cliff overlooking the Sea, in Mevagissey, Cornwall. Tea was as lovely ( in a small pub) as it is, in the city of Truro in Cornwall.

I really wanted to be in this Cloche Party a week ago when
I saw it, but I'm so busy now with my new job that I'm going to
cheat and just post a photo of my favorite Cloche that I saw
this spring on William Sonoma online. I have had all
intentions of making it and probably still will sometime.
I have a great nest I wanted to put in it but I have
never found a Cloche in a reasonable price range.
Any suggestions???? I'm still looking.....theBest price I've
seen is $32.00 for about a 14 inch, which is what I want
or taller.
So thanks to Marty at http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/
for hosting this great event!!!! Be sure and visit everyone...
