I know it’s a week late, but…we had our Pentecost tea party, that I had originally planned to actually have on Pentecost Sunday, a few days ago, but at least it was in the same week! I worked with a theme of red, and, since it’s spring, strawberries (which are conveniently also red!).

We had lots of fresh strawberries we picked ourselves at Eckert’s:

And strawberry muffins, made with more of the fruits of our labor (literally!):

We also had red jello, not strawberry, but cherry, to mix things up:

Since lemons go so well with strawberries, we had my favorite lemon shortbread:

We also had chocolate chip scones, just because:

Some English muffins:

And a variety of toppings, including a special strawberry-peach jam:

The tea of choice was Constant Comment, partly because it’s one of my favorites, and partly because it comes in red packets!

Next month, I’m hoping to have another tea party to coincide with the Queen’s “official” birthday!
