tea time.

today my dear friend sarah took me out on a tea date for my birthday. we went to special teas tea room in chadds ford and it was lovely. we shared a pot of earl grey tea and each got two scones (yes, we're both pregnant) and they both were amazing. apparently they have won awards for their scones. i would highly recommend it if you like tea and like outings. it has inspired me (have you noticed i'm always inspired?...hmmm...) to have a tea party, which has been added to the list below. as soon as i got home i found my tea set i got from my wedding (from lynn) and looked up scone recipes. here are a few i found i would like to try.

coffeehouse scones from 'joy of baking.

blueberry-buttermilk scones from martha.

i'm not attached this recipe, i just want to try some blueberry ones.

as for tea, harney and sons is really good. i must give credit where credit is due and say sarah found them awhile ago. she has got us all addicted to their paris tea.


the tea room we went to today also sold loose leaf tea which i would go back and buy.

and as for tea paraphernalia...

wow, that was a long post on tea.

i love lists.

traci told us a few weeks ago that she made a list of some things she wanted to do before her next birthday. that inspired me to make a list of some things i want to do before i have lil peanut. here are a few.

-get baby's room ready...obviously.
-get as much of my house done as possible. still lots to do.
-do a deep clean of house.
-go to the beach.
-eat at 'cake' with heidi.
-learn to sew. ha, this has been on many of my lists recently.
-plan euchre tournament.
-do some photoshoots.
-go on an overnight with matt.
-be crafty.
-go see brooks and dunn.
-get a pedicure at a nice salon.

we'll see how many of these i'll actually do. i better start now.

matt comes home today. he's been in orlando all week at a conference. i can't wait to see him. i have realized that i laugh less when he is not here. but, this week while he's been gone, i've been busy eating at all my favorite eateries and watching the olympics. ski jump and speed skating (especially short track) are my favorites. what are yours?

j.crew baby
