With the Olympic games in London fast approaching (only a few days away!), everything British seems to be "in". And what could be more British than an Afternoon Tea?
If you didn't know, there is an entire etiquette around having Afternoon Tea. For example, you should ask for a new saucer if you spill tea on yours, but it is ok to just place a napkin on it if it is a more informal occasion. Also, you should stir your tea without touching the cup with the spoon and therefore making noise.
But what really matters, besides the delicious food and drink, is having the table set with beautiful china, silverware, teapots and trays! And there is no better way to set a beautiful table than with vintage items!

The only thing nicer than having tea is being invited for tea. High tea is a lovely event. Wonderful post!
I love serving and participating in Tea. When I lived in Texas I worked part time (mostly for fun) at an Antique Mall where we served afternoon tea. It was so fun.
