Let's Do Tea, Shall We?
One of the highlights of any visit to Lexington is a visit to the local tea room. Not only do they serve delicious teas, they also have delicious little sandwiches, quiches, and salads. They grow their own herbs and use them in all of their cooking. We feasted on chicken salad, quiche, and pasta salad. My pasta was surrounded by beautiful edible pansies that were just too pretty to eat! Besides, I'm use to having my pansies in the ground, not on my plate! LOL At the end of your meal they try to tempt your taste buds with some wonderful delicacies. I had bread pudding, my sister Sarah had three nut chocolate chip pie, and my sister Betsy had Geranium Lemon Pound Cake! Again, I'm use to having my geraniums growing in the ground, not in my cake! My sister is always telling me I have to "step out of my box!"
If all the wonderful food wasn't good enough, no trip to the tea room is complete without a visit to their wonderful gift shop! I wanted to share with you this beautiful tea stand I purchased. It looks perfect sitting on top of my Grammy's sideboard. Tomorrow I will share some other
goodies:o)

Hi Susan,

The tea cup display is just lovely. I'm always looking for tea cups/sets at thrift stores and yard sales.
It's such a lady-like treat to dine at a Tea Room. :-)
So cute! I've never seen a stand for teacups.
Susan,
I LOVE your new tea stand and I love your tea cups too!!! :)
Love YDIC
I love the teacup stand! I have never seen one before either.
That is SO beautiful.
I have never been to Lexington (what a shame!). My mom is from the Elizabethtown, KY area so we often took trips to that part of the state.
The tea cup stand is very pretty!
Susan,
I wish we had a tea room here in town. I love your pretty new tea stand with your beautiful cups on it.
I would also be leary of eating those flowers in my food. lol
Love,

That sounded like the nicest day (and yummy, pretty food, too!). I just love your stand...you found the perfect place for it, and it shows your china beautifully.
What a charming way to display tea cups. It sounds like you had a wonderful day out! :o)
The teacup display stand is so dainty! A what a lovely Springtime vignette you created!
Blessings to you dear friend,

Wish I could share a cup of tea in one of your lovely tea cups. I love the tea stand and a wonderful display for your house.
I don't think I've ever seen a tea cup stand. That is the perfect way to display them!
Can't wait to see more.

I have one of those stands in my dining area. I love it! My hubby bought it for me after I admired it, but passed it up in a shop in Gatlinburg.
I love to visit Tea Rooms when traveling they are always such a delight. This "find" is lovely. Eager to see more.
Dear Susan, I'm glad you had a nice time with your sisters...sounds just lovely! The tea cup stand is so nice...your tea cups look right at home in the stand.
