High Tea and Sophisticated Friendships in California.
These Scones were PERFECT. I’ll never need another Scone recipe. I mean it! One of my very dear friends hosted this lovely High Tea to celebrate a couple birthdays. We had a wonderful time and meal.
While getting ready to just show up, I thought to myself, she’s probably working hard right now. I appreciate her efforts even before tasting the fruits of her labor. In particular, the Scones were better than any I’ve had. We all said the same thing. She sent a copy of the recipe, so I attached it below.
The Victorian House table setting was cute and cozy. She served Tea Sandwiches, aka Canapes, made of Chicken & Rosemary, and Cucumber & Cream Cheese — Along with all was Clotted Cream, Preserves, and Fresh Fruit.
And mustn’t forget the Tea, an Orange flavored combination made by Monks. It was exceptionally aromatic. We all thought we were done when she comes out of the kitchen with Key Lime Squares. Come on now. She did the High Tea right.
The food and the company couldn’t be beat. Thank YOU!

Nice bog you have here. I pretty much lurk the internet when I’m bored and read all I can about the organic lifestyle, but I really liked you view on things. I’ll bookmark the site and subscribe to the feed!
The photos turned out great, Shelly! I love serving tea, and I’m blushing with pleasure at your appreciative comments. I’ll serve my next tea on my Butterfly Dreams tea service, a birthday gift from my attorney-boss Michele. Oh, boy!
