Bible Study Tea


Hello, dear bloggers! Today is my first time joining Lady Katherine's Tea Time Tuesday and Terri @ Artful Affirmations Tea Time Tuesday with Friends. What a great way to meet fellow tea aficionados in blogland! I am blessed to belong to a Ladies' Bible Study Tea Group started by a good friend of mine. Each month we take turns hosting the Bible study and tea in our homes. This was at my home a few months back. I have since hosted again and will share that tea with you next week.







These swan cream puffs, mini tarts, and cake were purchased from a local bakery.



I did, however, make the scones, mock devonshire cream, and an assortment of cookies.






Thank you for stopping by. You're always welcome to the Lace and Ivy Cottage for a cream tea!



Till next time,

Hello Lorna~I was so delighted to see you strolled by for a visit. Thank you for the wonderful words of encouragement. Spring has definitely brought healing.
Your whole tablescape was...lovely.
It reflected your personal desire in making your friends feel special. I always look forward to you sharing your collection of tea accessories. I would love to have your input on getting started on collecting and especially the best resources for shopping.
This would be a perfect setting for a Mother's Day Luncheon.
I love making swan profiteroles. I have a tutorial in the works for making them. I hope you can stop by for it.

Sweet wishes,
Sara

Do you realize there is a 12 word phrase you can say to your crush... that will induce intense feelings of love and instinctual appeal for you buried inside his heart?

That's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's impulse to love, admire and care for you with all his heart...

12 Words That Trigger A Man's Desire Impulse

This impulse is so built-in to a man's mind that it will drive him to try better than ever before to do his best at looking after your relationship.

As a matter of fact, triggering this dominant impulse is so important to having the best ever relationship with your man that the moment you send your man a "Secret Signal"...

...You'll immediately notice him expose his soul and heart to you in a way he haven't expressed before and he will see you as the one and only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly appealed to him.
