Your selection of dainties and teas look delicious. <br><br>The book club sounds like fun. I have read one Earlene Fowler book "Broken Dishes" and enjoyed it. I miss the book club that used to meet in my home. We read books with a tea theme, including most of Laura Childs Tea Shop Mysteries.<br><br>The closest quilt shop in my area is Quilts N' Fixins in Jonesboro. I didn't know that there was a quilt shop in Newnan. Now I have another reason to make the trip.parTea ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-87668974977111474022009-01-16T11:08:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:08:00.000-05:00Thanks for putting in the good word for Marmlady&#...Thanks for putting in the good word for Marmlady's. I just love quilts. I am sorting my books yesterday and today and realized I have several interesting books on quilts. Next month on Monday's I will be blogging about quilts. I am looking forward to getting back into quilts. I have some vintage quilt blocks I want to make into small tea mats/quilts for serving tea.Marilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-20385786564827566952009-01-16T11:44:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:44:00.000-05:00What a nice tea, Angela!

Re your comment: "I learned some wonderful techniques these fabric fanatics have used to sneak new fabric into their homes: Transfer it into a grocery store bag before going in the house. Place it in your car's trunk and then don't remove it 'til your DH goes to bed at night. Once it's in the house, put it in a box and slide it under the bed and it'll never be detected..." ha ha ha My best friend Mary does the same thing, but with dishes!!!! I'll have to tell her that she's not the only one who does that!Denise ~ Charleston, South Carolina.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07843797913291857424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-40415547901939454352009-01-16T11:55:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:55:00.000-05:00Your tea spread looks positively delicious, Angela...Your tea spread looks positively delicious, Angela.

Enjoy!<br><br>Cranberry-Walnut Scones<br><br>2 cups all purpose-flour<br>2 teaspoons baking powder<br>1/4 teaspoon baking soda<br>6 tablespoons margarine, chilled<br>1/2 cup buttermilk<br>1 egg<br>1/2 cup dried cranberries<br>1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped walnuts<br><br>Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a scone pan with cooking spray. (I use the Williams-Sonoma scone pans.) In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add 6 tablespoons of chilled margarine and combine using a pastry blender until the mixture consists of pea-sized crumbs. Stir in cranberries and walnuts. In separate bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until blended. If mixture is too stiff, you may want to add another tablespoon or so of milk. Spoon batter into pan and bake for 17 minutes or until lightly browned. Yields 8 regular size or 16 mini-scones.Angela McRaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13273293189684752811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-10443150295115015152009-01-16T16:45:00.000-05:002009-01-16T16:45:00.000-05:00A Book Club reading on the topic of quilting surro...A Book Club reading on the topic of quilting surrounded by beautiful quilts hanging on the wall of an older building in downtown historic Newnan, GA and a tea party by Angela.

By the way, I agree with Linda--what could be better than a tea party for book club members surrounded by beautiful quilts in a historic building?
