My World: Tea At The Museum

The Museum of Fine Arts is having Tea on Tuesday

in conjunction with two exhibitions:

Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Gainsborough: The Treasures of the Kenwood House, London

and Unrivalled Splendor: The Kimiko and John Powers Collection of Japanese Art.

This is the tea for the Treasures of Kenwood House, London.

Lovely place settings and delicious teas and goodies

and a real treat to be served in the midst of one of the European galleries.

I had a choice of three teas -- all organic.

Organic Earl Grey, Organic Citrus Oolong or Organic Jubilee Rooibos.

I picked the Citrus Oolong and was not disappointed.

The goodies were all yummy:

Chicken Salad on Whole Wheat

Cucumber and Herbed Cheese on White

Blueberry Scone with Clotted Cream

Tuxedo Dipped Chocolate Covered Strawberry

Before leaving for the tour associated with Kenwood House Exhibition

a glass of sparkling wine.

A lovely afternoon.

Month At A Glance: June 2012

I'm a little early as there are still a few days left in June,

but I've been late the last couple of months --

making up for it today!

Here's a look at what was featured at Twisty Lane the month of June.

My thanks to Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday.

Wishing YOU well, much joy and a wonderful weekend.

Where's the ice tea?!!!

Good Morning!

It's Almost July!!!

It's almost July.

Time to think about the 4th of July.

I was wondering what I had in the house that was red, white and blue.

First, a short story.

Do you wonder why you keep junk things?

I was going through a box I'd brought in from the garage.

(Yes, I'm still shredding and throwing and it's probably why my back is complaining.)

I found a bunch of old calendars.

Some of them were cat calendars and since I love kitties, I knew why I'd kept them.

I'll do something with them one day ... I hope.

Then I found a 1994 (really!!!) Annie's Victorian Village Calendar.

Looking through the calendar of lovely photos, 

I found at the very back Place Mat Patterns and Tea Room Restaurant Recipes.

Now it starts making sense!

I stopped when I saw this photo.

I'd found red, white and blue place mats -- perfect for the 4th of July.

Here's my crochet place mat made from the newly found pattern

 and the red, white and blue kitchen towels I already had. 

The kitchen is going to look good for the month of July!

The  crochet pattern for the place mat was very easy.

The original called for worsted yarn and I used Lily Sugar 'N Cream cotton yarn

It's beginning to look a lot like July!

And feels like it ... high today projected to be 101 with feels like temp around 110.

Iced tea anyone?

 Time for me to hibernate!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

I'm linking for the first time with:

A Little ICAD Catch-Up

It's been quiet here on Twisty Lane.

Many of you know I have a bad back.

I've even had back surgery.

Every now and then it just doesn't work like it should and that's what happened this past week.

I hope I can catch up with everyone soon.

Meanwhile, here are a few of the ICADs (Index Card A Day) I've been working on.

I'm starting to hit the wall on ICADs and I have July to go! 

It can be done!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!
