Low Tea With The Queen

What would one do if the queen were coming for tea?  and one forgot???

I'd quickly grab the closest teapot and hope for a miracle.

We'd need cream and sugar.

I'd set my table with all the royal purple I could find!

DSC06824 I'd set my table with Bavarian plates and Holmes and Edwards Danish Princess silverware.  And I would explain that I simply forgot that the queen was coming for tea!  I'm sure she would understand!

I'm joining Laura at Decor To Adore for her High Tea Party!

    Hello Sheryl,
    you must not tell the Queen,you had forgotten this important date. She wouldn't have realized that because the miracle happened and you made in a few minutes ( as long as the tea needed) a wonderful table. Those doilies are really outstanding and so nice with the plates. And the mugs are beautiful. I am not a Queen, but I love it and I am sure, the Queen would love them, too.
    Greetings, Johanna

    So, you just showed us that you must really know how to host a tea since you put this one together so quickly!

    I know the Queen must've been extremely impressed with the purple color found on the most delightful dishes and special accessories!

    Hope you and her Royal Highness had a dandy chat!

    Tah Tah!!

    L, Dana

    Purple is the perfect color to use for royalty.
    Who wouldn't want to drink almost anything from that pretty mug!!!! I love plates, they are so soft and delicate.
    And the saying on your lovely angel is so true! What a sweet reminder!
