It's amazing to me that I got invited to attend a wonderful afternoon tea in Senoia, and then, simply because I served as a judge for their hat contest, I went home with a gift for doing so! But that's how eternally kind and generous those folks in Senoia are, so my friend Nancy Roy of the Carriage House in Senoia sent me home with a lovely gift bag of treats following the historical society's Tea On The Porch on Saturday. First, I learned that "lilas de jardin" means "lilac garden" in French after receiving this charming tea towel and notecards.
Next, there was a jar of Raspberry Jalapeno jam, and it is just delicious! As I suspected, it's heavy on the raspberry and light on the jalapeno, which is quite a fine combination. I enjoyed it on toast and may have to try this on scones next.
Finally, I received a most welcome addition to my collection of tea jewelry! I've seen this style of pin before but never actually owned one, and I'm so happy to have a new piece of teatime jewelry, especially one that will remind me of a lovely afternoon of tea on the porch in Senoia.
They are all nice gifts (that jam sounds intriguing) but I LOVE the pin! Just adorable. I'd like to find out where to get one of those. Enjoy wearing it!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful gifts!
ReplyDeleteTry the Raspberry Jalapeno Jam on ham. Tasty.
Love that pin!
ReplyDeleteI use spicy jelly on Brie cheese. Have you tried that?

Oh how wonderful. It's such a generous and kind way of saying they understand your time and efforts and needed and appreciated. I love every single thing you brought home, too - that's an interesting jam, what a neat combo - not sure how I feel about the heat and sweet, but I'd be willing to try it.
ReplyDeleteBe right over..........if only in my dreams.
Sorry life has kept me away - buried a dear friend this week, and had jury duty, then my niece has been visiting - so busy there's little time for computers. I will catch up. I miss being here each day. ♥ Hugs.
Lovely ladies saying thank you to a lovely lady, perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely assortment of gifts. So glad you enjoyed a nice tea. Life has been busy here!
ReplyDeleteVery nice to be appreciated and receive tea themed gifts. The pin is sweet and will be envied by all your friends at the next tea party.
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts. I think Tea on the Porch should be enjoyed every day -- weather permitting. I even love the sound of Tea on the Porch.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice appreciation gifts to you Angela! Very special.
ReplyDeleteThose are all perfectly wonderful gifts.
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful gifts!
ReplyDeleteHello Angela. Very nice!!! I was wondering if you could perhaps inquire and provide ordering info for the unique tea pin I LOVE it!! :) If you are able, kindly email it to me or flag me on the ATAA FB page because I'm sure others in the group would want to know too!

hello Angela - those tea themed gifts are amazing! I especially like the tea pin and I would love to order one. Is there any way to find out "where" to get one of these beauties?
ReplyDeleteSo glad these gifts came your way - I can not think of a more deserving person! Have a great weekend, Joanie
The gift bag was full of lovely appreciation gifts - and the tea pin is stunning. I enjoyed reading about the tea. How fun to be a hat judge at the event.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely gifts. I never thought to combine jalapeno with fruit, but it sounds good. I love hot stuff. I may have to try this if we get a lot of wild blackberries this year.
