An Afternoon Tea Occasion


You can serve high tea around the dining room table, but afternoon tea is more of a living room occasion, with everything brought in on a tray or a cart.

  1. I SO want a tea cart! The only carts I've seen at a thrift store, etc. are too wobly.

    I do have a couple nice trays, okay, I have too many trays. Two or three silver trays, a nice wooden tray, a couple wicker trays... all waiting for a tea party!

  2. Pretty mantle. Yes, you are so right. I love afternoon tea sitting by the fireplace at this time of year.
