An "April Showers Bring May Flowers" Tea

On Saturday, April 12th two friends and I traveled to East Lansing to attend another of Cristy Bennett's tea parties [this was the 13th tea party of Cristy's that I've attended]. It featured flowers, butterflies and parasols.  As always, it was lovely!

The personalized menu card, floral arrangement, and bag of chocolates were our favors to take home.



Now for a little tour around Cristy's home which is decorated to carry out the theme.





This one place setting is where Cristy's husband, David, sits.



The tea began with a glass of  Sparkling Cherry Juice.


We were served Goji Berry Green Tea throughout the meal.  The first course was chilled Raspberry Soup with a Raspberry Pinwheel Scone.


The second course was Springtime Spinach Quiche; Three-Veggie Salad on a Pita Petal; and a refreshing Raspberry Gelatin Fruit Salad.


The third course [dessert course] was a slice of Key Lime Raspberry Cheesecake. 


I've made my reservation for her next tea on June 14th - Royal Garden Promenade - an elegant, formal gardenscape.   I'll be sure to share to blog about it!
