Today's afternoon tea was held on the family room coffee table in front of the TV with my mom.
I used Johann Haviland coffee set in Brown Rose pattern. I have had this for at least 3 or 4 years but I think this is the first time I used it. I like the very graceful curves and shape.

We had guava with passion fruit tea and mango moose cake. Yum!
Silver napkin rings encircling the April Cornell napkins.
There's my mama enjoying the tea even if I kept saying, "Not yet, I have to take pictures first", lol.

I thought, all this time, that I was a follower, Christine. But when I just checked, I wasn't ....BUT I AM NOW. So sorry about that. There should be some way we know instantly if we are followers. Well, all's well that ends well. :)))
Mama is so beautiful. You are so blessed to have her with you. I know you enjoyed your tea with her. Lovely setting for even lovelier people. Thanks for visiting, Ginger :)
Your Mama looks so very happy. You can tell that she is delighted to be spending time with you. Such a special tea you set for both of you. I love that china, looks very European! Great post Christine.
