Tea With Lemon


My bloggy friends loved this tea set from last week's tea party.
I thought I would post some close ups!


I have a beautiful teacup that accompanies the set! 


I love the delicate way the fruit and flowers sweep across the china.


Can you believe this gorgeous set came from Cracker Barrel?
I have purchased many treasures from that glorious place to dine and shop!


Today I will having tea with lemon!
I am a lover of all things lemon and this cake is simply delicious!
Thank you for sharing tea with me ~ I hope you enjoy the treat!

    My hubby and I love Cracker Barrel and I thought I had seen and drooled over all their lovely pieces, but I do not remember this lovely tea set. Perfect for summer with the soft delicate flowers. That lemon cake looks so good. Another perfect idea for summer with a glass of ice tea. Blessings.

    Oh, i think my morning tea would taste so much better in one of your delicate tea cups! And I make a very similar cake..my daughter just adores it (mine has the lemon pudding but not the lemon concentrate in the cake...and the glaze is made with oj concentrate)...I'll have to try your yummy version :)
