Afternoon Tea Collection

I love afternoon tea, a 3 tiered plate filled with delicious sandwiches, yummy cakes and delicate scones with jam and clotted cream served the Cornish Way. My thoughts turn to gifts to compliment a traditional English afternoon tea, the first creation being:

Lavender Tea Bag Sachets



What could be more summery than lavender, tea and roses. These delicate little sachets are made out of the most perfect prints of happy pansies and roses, filled with lavender attached with ribbon to an embroidered tea cup tag.

More will be added to this collection over the next few weeks, plus beginning to write a story introducing a new collection incorporating my love of the Victorian Era, when times where quieter, no television to distract, ladies sitting a whiling away the hours with beautiful embroideries. More will be revealed as this idea progresses and hope you will join me on this new journey.

Have a wonderful week enjoying the summer weather we currently have.
