A couple years ago tea lady and neighbor Margaret gifted me with a yellow rose teacup. This was the only yellow flowered teacup I had, and since you can't have a collection with only one, the hunt began for enough yellow rose teacups for a tea. An antique outing last week resulted in my 6th rose teacup and a new yellow rose tea pot as a bonus so naturally this had to be a "Yellow Rose Tea".
The table is set and the view of the gardens is the perfect setting for our afternoon tea.
The menu is set and the party begins.

I've covered the red roses on my tiered server with crocheted potholders and hot pads with yellow flowers. The crocheted hot pads under the teapots belonged to my grandmother and were always on the table for holiday dinners.
The ricotta tomato tarts are ready to go.
Scones, cookies and one tart to complete the tray.

My six yellow rose teacups waiting transport to the garden. All different shapes and designs found at antique shops over the past two years. The hunt is what makes collecting so much fun.
Thank you friends for joining me for tea today.
