Happy Tea Party Tuesday!
The links last week were amazing.
I enjoy so much what everyone brings to the
Tea Party and try to visit each and every one of you.
As I stated last week, I have been
interested in the endless possibilities
of using the mini fillo tart shells!
Last week I offered a great recipe for
I was thrilled to see how popular it was!
This week my inspiration came from
picking pumpkins and decorating for fall.
The simple, yet elegant, snacks this week
are sure to please anyone you plan to host
for a Fall Tea Party.
First in the line up is
Pumpkin Spice Tea Sandwich
I found this sitting on the shelves at Target and just
knew I had to make something with it!!

Hi Trish! I'd like to bring myself right over to your tea party! I love pumpkin cream cheese, I buy it every year at this time from Wegman's, I actually made my own one time. These tea time treats are yummy. ((hugs)) xo
The food is perfect! I love the tassies...will have to make them this week! Have never seen the pumpkin cream cheese. Amazing!
Ruth
Can I just say - YUM!!! I love pumpkin and this sounds absolutely marvelous! Oh - but I have been in so much pain cheating as I've done in the gluten department over the past couple of months - stress driving me to comfort food come what may. Yeah, well, my aching joints wish I'd made other comfort plans. Detox mode, now, but I am dreaming of a gluten free Thanksgiving . . .
Joy!

Hello Trisha,
Your tea looks delicious and fun, as always. I love pumpkin so your tassies are sure to please this gal. The teapot is lovely! Thanks for sharing and joining me for tea. Have a wonderful week, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Darling tassies...and perfect for an October tea. I'll bring brownies :)
Wow Trisha! You have outdone yourself with two wonderful ideas! I will be searching harder than ever for those Fillo shells now! Thanks for hosting!
Trisha,
Popping by your blog certainly is eye-opening, as
pumpkin spice cream cheese is definitely new to me. I bet it was delicious! I'd better pass for now, though, after consuming Thanksgiving goodies for the last couple of days! Where, oh, where has my waistline gone...

It's all tasty, Trish and that's a beautiful pot too. Thank you for linking up at Joy of Desserts. :-) Have a great day.
Trisha, Your little pumpkin sandwiches are just precious! I did not know Philly Cream Cheese made such a yummy version!
I too am fascinated with phyllo cups! I make my own and the are easy and so delicious.
Here is the link if you are interested: http://stonegable.blogspot.com/2011/05/salmon-mousse-stuffed-phyllo-cups.html.
I am having a birthday tea for a dear friend at the end of October. I'll post it and join in your wonderful linky party!

If my 16 year old pumpkin loving son could find a way to your house, those pumpkin treats would be LONG GONE! He would have no trouble with sitting down to tea (in his stinky work out clothes) if these were on the menu.
Lisa
Trisha, both of your treats sound perfect for a Fall tea! I wish we could share them together in person. What fun that would be!
Voila, indeed!!!! Great post, everything looks delicious, Trisha~ How festive and tasty. Thanks for hosting this party :)
