Table Linen Organizing

Springtime brings more tea parties and more table linen hauls from our local home decorating stores. A tablecloth or tea napkin, that is just too pretty to pass up on a store shelf, ends up in our shopping cart and ultimately crammed in a drawer somewhere getting all wrinkled. So, with that said, Spring is the time for getting our unruly stash of table linens organized. Instead of keeping them stuffed in a drawer, we've decided to give them a more airy space of their own. To start, it helps to have a walk-in closet available to work with or good, clean, spacious shelving units. We find that a white shelving unit allows for a brighter display of the varying patterns and colours of the table linens. Amazon offers great options for white shelving, so it's always worth a look on that website. We fold the linens as neatly as possible and then put our colour coordinating skills to work. Pinks and peaches, blues and greens, Spring tones, earthy tones....you get it. Small, rou...

Spring Tea Dessert: Strawberry Squares

The perfect Spring tea party deserves the perfect Spring dessert. So, today, we are introducing you to one of our all-time favourites. Strawberry Squares. This delightful dessert is a breeze to make. So quick, so easy! You likely have most of the ingredients in your home. It is absolutely sweet, delicious and will be a hit with any of your house guests during the Easter season and will make a nice surprise for Mom on Mother's Day. The recipe that we will be sharing is from our dear late mother's cookbook. She had many requests to make this (even our grandmother, Mom's mother-in-law, asked her to make it every year for her birthday). Everyone loved it when Mom would make Strawberry Squares and they still speak about this incredible dessert to this day. This dessert has a lovely shortbread cookie base, a sweet and pleasant strawberry center and a fluffy whipped topping. The taste and smell brings back happy memories of yesteryear for us! So, if you're looking for a ...

Lemon tarts and tea time

Whether you make them with a recipe handed down through the generations or you simply make them using frozen mini pie shells and a boxed lemon pie filling, these little lemon tarts are a sure way to impress guests during tea time. Topped with a bit of meringue or a fresh (or candied) lemon slice, lemon tarts are a delight to the senses and a sunny, cheerful little pick-me-up. We prefer to go the easy route (boxed lemon pie filling and frozen mini pie shells). It is absolutely delicious! We use Shirriff brand filling and all you have to do is follow the directions on the back of the box. (You can use any brand and it'll work great). We love having our lemon tarts with a nice Lady Grey tea. Will you join us for this sunny treat?
