Rainy Days and Tea Pots

I love tea pots. I only have two, and both were special wedding gifts. I use them whenever I have a good excuse for a tea party. Haven’t had a chance to make Chelsea buns yet, but with weather glooming and we girls on the verge of “dooming”, I mixed up some lemon-poppyseed muffins (not from scratch), got the sugar cubes down and an almond dessert tea steeping…and we had a party!Nothing like a tea party to lift enthusiasm, especially on a damp and overcast day. My favorite treats would be scones with mock devonshire cream and jam, crustless cucumber sandwiches, cream puffs, cheesecake…mmm!
