Violets and Vintage Tea Party

More photos from the Violets and Vintage Tea party of table settings, flowers and tea sandwiches.

The sandwiches were made by Didi and included seafood salad, chicken salad and egg salad, and she added all the pretty flowers for our table setting and throughout her home. It really was a spring  garden both inside and outside!

A platter featuring (from left to right) cream puffs with powdered sugar, along with the awesome slutty brownies, orange butter shortbread cookies and lovely lavendar shortbread cookies from Bake All The Things and delicious organic cookies from Pernillas Something Swedish:

Scones from a local bakery on a white plate and set upon a mug rug from Judy Whitney:

I made mini cupcakes of french vanilla cake and a marshmallow fluff infused buttercream icing. The pretty pansy flowers and purple violets came from Layer Cake Shop.
I also used cupcake liners, icing flowers, edible glitter, tips and bags from Bakers Bling Shop and Cupcake Social:

My cream cheese cups made with Philadelphia Cream Cheese with a bit of Polaner's all fruit seedless raspberry jam in the center and Nabisco's Nilla wafers as the bottom crust:

Sharing pics from the Violets and Vintage Tea Party....

In these photos, our guests were selecting their mug rugs and potholders. Even though we used Judy Whitney's mug rugs and potholders at our table settings, we wanted guests to select the ones they wanted most.

Decisions, decisions...as our guests selected their favorite mug rugs and potholders
