Happy Tea Party Tuesday!
Boy oh boy do I need a cup of tea.
These past few weeks have been NUTS!
Which inspired these little fall delights for your
Tea Party enjoyment!
Nutty Ham and Cheese
Acorn Shaped
Tea Sandwiches
The pecan brown butter on top (and inside) is DIVINE!
I could eat all 6....and I did.
With a little help from Sophia and James.

| Yummy little acorns! |
Remember the amazing RS Prussia Teapot that
my Mom gave me for my birthday?
Well, a Teapot without a Teacup is like
Thelma without Louise
around here, so...

| This cup did not have a mark on the bottom.....I named her, GLORIOUS! |
Taaaaaa Daaaaaa!
Stunning isn't she?
THANKS MOM!!
This week, I am brewing the most lovely tea called
Evening in Florence.
It is truly one of my all time favorites.
I purchased it from a wonderful Tea Room called
Aprille Showers not to far from my home.

Oh wow, these are so delicious looking. The pumpernickle was a stroke of genius! Your "nuttiness" made me smile. Glad to hear you are taking some time for a cup of tea - got to recharge from time to time to keep the creative juices flowing.

You are amazing with your cute little tea party goodies! These acorn sandwiches are super cute! My 3 year old calls acorns, "coconuts"! I may have to make her one of these cute little coconut sandwiches :) Thanks for hosting!
So cute, I love them!
Beth @ Hungry Happenings
Such a delightful little sandwich (very creative) for a tea party Tuesday. Love your new cup and saucer and Glorious is the perfect name for it. Goes very well with these sandwiches too :)
Lovely teacup. Such a cute idea for little tea sandwiches. We're both in the same club for the last several weeks being NUTS. Wishing you some better days ASAP. Take care. :-)
Your tea sandwiches are delightful! I like your teacup too! Thanks for having us over!

Hi Trisha
Those are the cutest little sandwiches! I will have to make them for my next tea, thanks for sharing them.
The new 'Glorious' teacup is just that, your Mom's not spoiling you, is she? :-)

Those are adorable acorns. I had a little something to link up today. :) xo,
Trish ... sorry I haven't visited lately .. its been a little hectic at the HHL household ... so I'm trying to catch up on my reading and visits. First Happy belated birthday to you and your Nana (I know she remains close by ... and is most proud, of the kind woman you are).. your posts and your mother's comment had me smiling and crying at the same time. What a blessing to have two strong and obviously warm hearted women to look up to!! ...
Your acorn sandwiches look and sound delish! I'm also swooning over your tea pot and now companion tea cup!! wishing you a beautiful week, xo HHL
P.S. all your family photos were beautiful xo
Hi trisha! It is my first time linking up. I love your teacup! It is gorgeous! And those sandwiches are just too cute! Thank you for hosting.
Well, Trish! Aren't you the clever one! What sweet acorn tea sandwiches - I'd eat them all, too! And a perfect name for your cup - Glorious, indeed!
Joy!
