Tea at Eve's with The Traveling Teapot . . . and Some Other Fun Things

A special Afternoon Tea was celebrated at the home of long time

ATAA Member Eve - also know to us as TeapotEve.

Collector of teapots, consultant, writer, dear friend, mentor,

 and hostess with the mostest,

Eve has beautiful accouterments for any tea table.


The Shelly Trios were chosen for this impromptu tea party.

My beautiful trio was adorned with Lily of the Valley,

the flower designated for the Month of May.

The Dainty Blue Shelly Trio

and

The Queen Elizabeth I Tea Cosy

purchased in Rye, England

Two Special Teapots joined the celebration.

The Traveling Teapot and
 Eve's newest addition to her Teapot Family.

This special commemorative teapot was commissioned to celebrate the

Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

I found it for Eve on another journey that I took with

The Traveling Teapot.

(I confess that I got one for myself as well.)

It will join the teapot that Eve already has that commemorates the

Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

Happy Tea Party Participants

We retired to the Great Room for some

old-time fun with the 1919 Wurlitzer Farny Player Piano.

It is veneered in quarter sawn oak in the Arts and Craft Tradition.

Eve has enjoyed it for 9 Years and shared it with many guests.

You go, Girl!!!

We had such a fun and wonderfully eclectic day.

In addition to the Afternoon Tea Time

we visited The Cleveland Museum of Art

for an amazing Rembrandt Exhibit.

We had lunch at Sweet Mango, a Thai restaurant that

serves delicious food served by a lovely family.

Deb, Carl, and I then met up with Rick, Deb's husband,

for dinner at our favorite Mexican Cantina, El Campasino.

Then . . . . .

Carl and I went to hear my high school friend sing with her band

and we did a little swing dancing.

So much fun in one day and it was all shared with

The Traveling Teapot and good friends!!!
