Tea Time

I've visited Gypsy's Tea Room, in Westminster, several times and enjoyed the delicacies of Royal Tea. I've enjoyed fluted fruit beverages, scones with clotted cream and spread, fresh fruit and assorted sweets. Must say I'm not sure what fluted fruit is or clotted cream, but most everything I ate was delicious!

The last time I was there I noticed a book nook. So I wandered over to it and noticed a lower shelf said, "Local Authors." Taking a few minutes to build up my courage, I asked about having my book in the shop.

One thing led to another and I found myself taking pictures around the tea rooms to make note cards. I created two tea scenes from my own tiny collection to show as an example of what I do. The above snap I displayed my Longaberger Tea Set and basket, Longaberger pitcher with flowers, and lovely hankerchiefs to add a touch of elegance. The snap below is a tea cup and saucer, Autumn Leaf series, which a former co-worker gave me from his collection when I changed jobs to come to the convention. Another Longaberger basket and a bouquet of hankerchiefs completed the scene.



I enjoyed the snaps taken at Gypsy's and thought you might too! Below are some snaps around her shop!







Yes, it's tea time, and I'm thankful for another opportunity to display my book and note cards.
