On the first Saturday of February, I attended Knox Church's Valentine Tea. This was my first afternoon tea experience at Knox Church and was very impressed by the decor, delicious foods, and attentive staff.
The Valentine-themed tables.
Our table settings.
We shared a table with a couple who have been married for 60 years!
The scrumptious sandwiches and sweets enjoyed with countless cups of Cream Earl Grey.
Last week, we had a Valentine Tea Social at the office.
We sipped "The Earl's Valentine" from my Inside Out heart cups and saucers.
Our "healthy" treats covered the food groups: grains (pretzels and cookies at the top); vegetables (beet chips at the top right); and fruits (bottom).
I'm not usually a big floral tea drinker, but this month, I've been enjoying Dilmah's Rose with French Vanilla black tea...
...as well as David's The Earl's Valentine--an Earl Grey blended with chocolate and rosebuds.
One of my tea friends surprised me with this sweet Valentine-themed package.
(not pictured: the popcorn which was quickly consumed by yours truly. Ha!)
The pretty in pink goodies from the pocket card.
A huge THANK YOU to Lynn!!!
Special thanks also go out to the blogger friends (you know who you are!) for the cute Valentine cards.
Happy Heart Month!
I'm joining the following parties this week:
The Valentine's Tea looks well done ... an amazing tray of treats! Isn't it wonderful to meet with the couple who have been sharing love for 60 years! A perfect Valentine couple ;)
ReplyDeleteLove those little heart-shaped teacups, and all your teas and Valentine treats look delicious. Have a great week Margie.

PS My very first best friend from Dundas contacted me on the weekend ... after 40 years!
I'm impressed to see a church hosting a Valentine tea and the tables and food look awesome.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to be remembered by friends and blogging sisters for VD, you're always so thoughtful of others Margie so it's nice to see you on the receiving end.
Hello, the Valentine's Tea looks like a fun time. The teacups are so pretty and what a lovely gift package. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it was a delicious tea. I have the same set of inside out heart teacups from Steeped Tea. Enjoy the day.
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could hang with you, Margie, and go to these fun tea parties.
ReplyDeleteYour office is lucky to have you as the Tea Queen. The "healthy" food groups must've been a treat. You also received so many nice gifts, which you so deserve.
Dear Margie:
ReplyDeleteThe tea you attended looks wonderful. I think they did a great job and the Afternoon Tea Tray is wonderful. You sure received a wonderful tea gifting too! So happy for you and thanks for sharing this newsy post!
Hi Margie, it looks like a nice social tea time. It's great that you have these get togethers that you can go to in your area, the treats look delicious! Have a great day, Kelly.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Valentine's Tea the church put on! The food looks marvellous and I just know you had a fabulous time. I haven't been in to David's Tea lately but when I do get in there, I hope to find some of that Earl's Valentine. It's always an adventure to visit with you, Margie. I enjoy the outings you go on. Thanks for sharing and enjoy all those treats.

Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteYou are always going out and about and having fun! The treats at the church looks amazing and your work place sounds fabulous! My favourite is the beautiful pink teacup in your last pic with the flowers on the inner cup. It is absolutely amazing. Is it an Aynsley or Paragon? Happy Tea Day Dear Margie! Karen
What a wonderful tea you were able to attend. They did a terrific job.
ReplyDeleteMmmm . . . everything looks so delicious! Your heart-shaped cups are perfect for a Valentine's tea. I'm not big on floral-scented teas, either, but who can resist anything rose this time of year?
ReplyDeleteThose Valentine treats look amazing. Those squares with the pale pink frosting ... so pretty. Your package from your friend is such fun. So sweetly done. I love the tag.
ReplyDeleteSo fun to be able to attend two Valentine tea parties! Recently I tried a cup of Cream Early Grey and really enjoyed it. I'm also not a big fan of floral teas, but some rose ones are quite nice. Love the food groups selected at your office party and the pretty pink heart package! What thoughtful friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea party at church. The food amd tea sound delicious. Your tea table looks pretty too. You have wonderful friends!...Christine
ReplyDeleteMargie, What a nice set of Valentine's events. The church tea looks great and must have tasted wonderful. The Steeped Tea cups are great. My 2 sisters have some. Earl Grey tea of any form would be on my try list. Have a great day! Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteHi Margie! Early grey with chocolate and rosebuds sounds divine! Yum. The church tea looks wonderful! And like a lot of food :). Your cups are perfect for Valentine's day and your valentine's goody bag (envelope?) looks delish! My little Pony has definite nostalgia value.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous table setting! And it's always fun to get surprises and pretty cards from our friends. Enjoy your week! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThis is a CUTE tea setting! I love it - the vanilla rose tea intrigues me - I love rose flavor.
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a delightful tea party, my friend! Everything looks so beautiful and tasty!
ReplyDeleteYour goodies from your dear friends are simply lovely. You are indeed a special lady and one worth spoiling {{smiles}}
Also, I made a pot of tea this afternoon and shared it with my mom and son. Guess what it was? Your delicious maple tea! Thank you so much for that! I shall have to share it on my next tea post. Hugs!
Looks like such a fun afternoon. And that rose tea sounds delicious.
