Welcome to another Tea Time Tuesday! Sandi, our lovely hostess at Rose Chintz Cottage has a charming Tea Time Tuesday post this week.
This week I am sharing a very informal afternoon tea. I have noticed that since my son has started back to school that I am making tea to correspond to the time when he and my husband will be home, which is about 3:30 to 4:00. Since I make our dinner around 6:00, tea time is very informal and light. Once winter sets in I will most likely serve dinner closer to 5:00 with tea. It seems silly to need a "schedule" for tea time, but it really is such a joy for our family and missing it would seem out of place.
On to tea then!
I am using my Victorian Bird teapot, Federalist dessert plates, and Gracie China teacups and saucers along with my great-great aunt's white damask napkins that have a subtle bird pattern and my refurbished silver.
I made a very quick and easy peach dessert which I came up with using bits of 3 different recipes.
I made Peach Ginger Twist tea from Harney & Sons to complement the dessert.
It is lovely to enjoy afternoon tea in the afternoon sun.
Thanks for dropping in!

Since tea is informal, I have used several mis-matched pieces, but they seem to work well together.
