My birthday is next month, but my friend L. visited me already and she brought me very nice gifts!

Include this beautiful tray with a few parts of the very lovely Pip-floralchina... Pip Studio is a Dutch brand with adorable china, bags, homestuff like duvet covers and towels and much more.

Sugarbowl and milkjug, I love them!
And 2 nice cups and a saucer for teabags (I don't know how to say in English). So we can now drink tea in style!
With a mini-hydrangea brightens the dinner table there at all!
Voordat L. kwam had ik zelf deze high tea voor 2 in elkaar geflanst. Ze kwam rond lunchtijd, dus we konden meteen aanvallen op de hartige hapjes (sandwiches met tomaat/brie en ei/bacon en rolletjes van Philadelphia en rookvlees). Verder had ik zelf scones gemaakt, die wel goed smaakten maar helaas niet zo goed waren gerezen (heeft iemand tips of een beter recept hiervoor?) en een worteltaart. En uiteraard zijn er een paar kannen thee doorheen gegaan! :-)

Before L. came, I made this high tea for 2. She came at lunchtime, so we could immediately start with the savory snacks (sandwiches with tomato/brie and egg/bacon and rolls of Philadelphia and smoked meat.) Furthermore I made some scones, they tasted okay but they were not a well risen. (do you have a tip or a better recipe: I like to hear it!) And I've made a carrotcake. And offcourse we drank a few cans of tea! :-)
