Invented in the mid 1800’s by the Duchess of Bedford in an attempt to stave off hunger pangs until the evening meal was served, afternoon tea quickly caught on in other English households, as well. The Duchess began a whole new trend that is still enjoyed today.
The very “civilized” practice of tea time forces us to slow our frantic, modern-day pace and take a brief time out to relax and enjoy the company of friends. Sharing delectable treats on our prettiest china shouldn’t be considered a luxury that we rarely experience.
Using the tea time tips, recipes and party ideas included in If Teapots Could Talk: Fun Ideas For Tea Parties, you can host a beautiful tea party to lavish on yourself and friends. So get out those teapots and create fond memories of lively conversation and laughter and fun, the way our ancestors have done for many years.
If only all those teapots could talk!
