This year we trekked out into the blizzardy day to the Rutherford House for High Tea. It was a delicious afternoon of cucumber sandwiches, turkey pot pies and a three-tiered dessert tray. Oh, that dessert tray. Scones and raspberry butter is the. best. Raspberry and butter - together at last. mmmmm....
It almost feels like a time warp sipping tea and eating off of dainty little dishes. I wish everyday could be that leisurely... plus it's fun to say we're "ladies who lunch".

forgoing gifts for time is such a wonderful idea! i would love some raspberry butter right about now - yum!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of sharing an experience rather than giving a gift. Looks like you had fun!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I can imagine how lovely that raspberry butter tastes!
ReplyDeleteLove your matching penguin PJs :-) And mmmmm, scones with raspberry butter sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI think spending time with your best friend is much more meaningful & special than buying gifts for each other. What a great Christmas tradition :-)
I just had my annual Christmas brunch with my two best girlfriends and it was awesome. I love those women to pieces. Thank GOD for GOOD girlfriends!
ReplyDeleteAah you too are so cute!! My bestie is in Australia and i'm in the UK so its a bit more difficult! but we always make time for afternoon tea somewhere posh when she visits! This post makes me happy. Rachie xo
ReplyDeleteHaha the lunch looks fabulous but I love your Penguin Pajamas best! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! I would go crazy over all those cute tea cups and dishes!
ReplyDeleteGreat tradition Christine. I think I'd be giddy over tea - I'd always be imagining Alice in Wonderland.
ReplyDeletelovely Christine!

ReplyDeleteAww you guys are too cute! I've never been to high tea, but it is definitely on my list of "to-dos!" My girlfriend and I just had a day as such- the two of us, baking, listening to Christmas carols, drinking hot toddies, and wrapping prezzies in our pj's! Isn't girl time so necessary?!
