It's Tablescape Thursday again with Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch and I'm going to get a head start and post for Foodie Friday with Gollum @ Designs by Gollum. Please visit these lovely hosts for more participants.
I'm going to get the most of my Mother's Day tea and share more pictures with you and a recipe or two as well.
My Curry Chicken Sandwiches on Croissant are becoming a signature dish at my teas.
I also made Pesto, Tomato, and Cheese Croissant Sandwiches just like the ones I've had at a favorite tea house.
And of course, what's a tea without Cucumber Dill Finger Sandwiches?
For a cool refreshment, a punch bowl of Strawberry Lemonade.

I love teas and your food and presentation are lovely. Makes me yearn for fresh cucumbers and tomatoes which, of course, means fresh tea sandwiches!!
Your tea presentation is beautiful! Very feminine and appetizing! Love your choices for the food. I too, make a curry chicken on croissant sandwich that everybody is crazy about. We should compare recipes! It looks absolutely beautiful!

Lorna that table is so beautiful with all that gorgeous food on it along with your beautiful dishes and tea sets.
Glad you had a great Mother's Day!
Hi,Lorna
Lovely desserts to go with the tea time.
Something interesting just happened. I clicked the background fairy icon on the left top of your blog, but I could not get in. Tell you why, because it has "fair"y and "Free" background in the workding. You know those words are very sensitive to someone Authority's ears so I could not get in. I will try it later. Sometimes they block it just because they are sensitive to some special dates, you know the June 4th Tian-An Gate event in China. Many other sites are blocked these days. I am used to it now.
Everything looks wonderful!! Beautiful table and food!
it all looks so lovely.

I just made up my first batch of pesto...can't wait to try the pesto tomato croissants!
Your table (& your photos!) are beautiful!
What a beautiful table, and so many delicious-looking treats! I love your 4-tiered stand. Gorgeous!
Your table is stunning, It's late right now and I have already eaten but suddenly feel starving again, due to your amazing display of delicious food :-) hope you had a happy tablescape thursday and foodie friday. Kathy.
