So the girls from our small group came over to eat the pumpkin scones ...
and some apple pie ...
and sip some hot tea.
Since they all have young children, they took note of the quiet in our house.
And enjoyed it.
I suggested some classical music, you know ... to go with the tea atmosphere.
But they preferred a quiet background to their conversation.
See Susan's Between Naps on the Porch for more tablescapes.
This made me laugh - I miss the noise:)

Oh, that is too funny! Your apple pie looked amazing! I am sure everyone enjoyed the wonderful food, company and pretty tablescape.
ReplyDeleteHi Dotsie...
ReplyDeleteOhhh...what a beautiful table, my friend! I really ooohed and aaahed over your pretty red transferware dishes! The pink banded plates look sooo pretty with the red transferware! Well, I'm sure that your ladies really enjoyed those pumpkin scones (which by the way...I checked out your recipe and it sounds so yummy!) and that fabulous looking apple pie! My mouth is watering! Hehe! I sure would have enjoyed visiting with you and your ladies!
I hope that my note finds you well, my friend!
Love ya,
Chari
What a pretty setting and your pie looks great-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteDotsie, an afternoon of tea and conversation with a beautiful setting and delicious food was such a wonderful gift to your small group. Moments like that are just plain good for your soul.
ReplyDeleteI can remember how I cherished a quiet moment such as your gathering. While I still do, I miss the happy (well, not always) banter, the pitter pat of little and big feet--all the noise associated with children in the house.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Ahhh, quiet must have been perfect for your friends. It is so wonderful to have some special gatherings like these. The food looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing to do - to create a beautiful setting, something delicious to eat and peaceful surroundings - perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt really was a special treat...something that I would NEVER be able to do in my house...not that I would change what is going on in my house...just a nice little "vacation" :)
ReplyDeleteI missed the party! Sounds like I should have been there. Sweet!
ReplyDeletePodso I love your pumpkin scone recipe and your pretty dishes. It sounds like you had a wonderful tea with your friends.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they enjoyed it all! The pumpkin scones sound good too.

You created a lovely atmosphere (and apparently delicious food!!!) for your friends. That was so sweet of you! Next time, just have the music already softly playing in the background so they can't protest! I learned that trick some years back, and it works like a charm! :-) Have a wonderful weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so pretty and feminine Podso! Cherry Ames would have loved to have been invited!
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks delicious!
Very pretty...I love rustic pies, they have so much more character than the ones with the perfectly crimped edges...looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful table you've set for friendship and scones! Very welcoming. Love your pretty dishes and depression glass -- pink and green (my favorite table combination!)
