Robyn and I took an afternoon tea to our dear friend Boniface who is recovering from hip surgery.
Since it was Robyn's first day teaching school, and I was off today, I got the tea things together.
Carrying a tea party over to someone else's house is one of my favorite things to do.
We certainly could use the dishes at her house, but I like packing up my things
so she has something fresh to look at, especially since Boniface has been
confined to her house recovering.
So I gathered it all together and got it ready to put in baskets. I took along some plastic
bags for bringing back dirty dishes.
This time a peach tart... so easy to make with a ready made pie crust
(I used a recycled disposable pie plate so I could leave the pie for the family to finish.)
Off we go! Very carefully, that is!
Connecting with other Thursday Tablescapes at Between Naps on the Porch.
How sweet! I hope you all have a wonderful time together!

Podso, this is an incredibly nice thing to do for a friend. I've toted lunches and dinners but never thought of taking along the "service" to change things up a bit. I've stored your idea for a future gifting of food.
