Second Annual High Tea!

Missy Tippens

I thought I'd share about our second annual High Tea held at our church, sponsored by our United Methodist Women. We had a wonderful time again! And this year, my daughter got to attend as well.

I shared a lot of photos from last year's tables (click here). I didn't take as many this year because I was so busy talking with friends, new and old!

Different ladies sponsored tables, and brought their own linens and china for the place settings. Some brought their mother's or grandmother's china.



I believe I got to enjoy using the same china again this year--my friend Terrie's mother's china. The centerpieces were gorgeous spring flowers as well.

We had quite a few ladies who really dressed up and wore fancy hats. This precious girl at our table wore a new fascinator her grandmother had bought her just for the tea.



Like last year, several men in the church served the tea and all the courses. We appreciate them so much!

Below, a photo my daughter took of our teacups side by side.


And a mother-daughter shot. 


I was so busy eating and drinking that I didn't think to snap shots of the food this year. However, at the last second, I took a quick one of my last course, a mini-cupcake. Notice the messy plate with scone crumbs and leftover jam and clotted cream! :)


We had a great time and hope to do it again next year!

  2. I want a high tea.... I just love a tea party. The whole idea of a tea party and fancy plates and little cakes and great conversation is so English.... and civilized. Missy, what a marvelous event!
