The leaves are at peak colors here in New York State and its time to gather my tea friends for another Afternoon Tea. I recently found a snack set at our local church fall flea market sale that featured birds similiar to a silver salt and pepper shaker set that my mother recieved as a wedding present in 1940. I think the cups will work perfectly to serve butternut squash soup and butternut scones will fit nicely on the plates. One of my tea friends has a couple silver tea pots she'll let me borrow to go with my silver serving pieces. Sounds like a Silver Harvest Tea is a perfect theme.

Constant Comment & Blood Orange Teas
The table is set. Food will be my center piece. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the table with the food arranged when I started greeting my guests. I used clear footed cups for tea since I was using the "teacups" for soup. The rust colored napkins are folded with a pocket to hold smaller white embroidered cocktail napkins. I did remember to snap a picture while serving desert. Such a pleasant and rewarding afternoon as we slow down and enjoy the relaxed setting of tea time and the company of good friends.
