St. Patrick's Tea Party!

I hosted an afternoon tea party

 for my two sisters and my three young nieces

 the day before (Sunday) St. Patrick's Day.

Not ALL my shamrock china was used,

but some of it was, of course!

If you somehow missed my last couple shamrock posts

I hope you will check them out to see lots of shamrock pieces.

St. Patrick's Day isn't just a single day for us,

 oh, no never!

The menu:

Cream of Asparagus Soup

Salad Greens with Strawberries

Chicken Salad with Almonds

Egg Salad with Dill

Cucumber Rounds with Herbed Cream Cheese

Bacon Cheese Mini Quiche

Broccoli Mini Quiche

Lemon Crisps Tea Cookies

Mini Cream Puffs

Brownie Bites with Candy Frosting

Shamrock Sugar Cookies (sis brought, thanks!)

Rice Krispie Treats

Pistachio Crunch*

Twinging's Earl Grey and

 H & S "Paris" tea was served.

* My friend Sharyn gave as a favor for a wonderful

tea she had recently that I can't wait to share with you!

Sharyn's tea party was Saturday, and mine was Sunday

 so I really had to rush and put together this

party of mine rather quickly when I got home around 5pm.

My party was at noon so I found myself really

running around like a madwoman. : - )

I also had to keep the menu to food

 the girls would eat so I didn't get too fancy or weird.

They pretty much ate everything, too.

Except the middle niece absolutely hates cucumbers for some odd reason.

So her cucumber rounds were just cheese rounds, lol.

I love any opportunity

 to get out my green glass teacups and use them.

The favors were in shamrock gift box bags.

For my two sisters:

Bling-y emerald green shamrock post earrings

Green votive Yankee Candle 

Ceramic hand painted shamrock ornament

For my eldest niece:

Same earrings as above

Shamrock gourmet chocolates

Mini shamrock notepad

For my two younger nieces:

Bling-y shamrock nail stickers

LOTS of chocolate candies

Mini shamrock notepad

And yes, we used my pretty shamrock teaspoons

that you have seen before. : - )

But the *very* best part of the tea

 were having these three beauties as guests.
