WHEN IT RAINS, TEA POURS

rainy days make us want to snuggle up in our sleeping bags with a good (or tea-rrible) book and a warm cup of tea. after a few days of doing that, and remembering that queen elizabeth was turning another year older, we decided to add baking into the mix and host ourselves a little tea party!

the scene of the crime
leek & garlic and onion & garlic cheddar cheese 'royal-tea approved breadsticks' were on the par-tea menu


granola bars dipped in rice-krispied white chocolate with a raspberry garnish. we took this opportuni-tea to show off a clay plate made in pottery class.

dainty fresh-fruit skewers. princess kate sized and tas-tea to boot!

tea for two, two going in my tea! see the recipe below.

give them a go, we promise you shan't be disappointed! tea in baked goods form is delicious. i hope you enjoyed our terrible tea puns and that your rainy days may be full of spontanai-tea and prosperi-tea! yikes, stopping now.

    1. You'll be here soon and I will hopefully not die on my travels so that you have a graduation to attend and tea to toast.
