Well, I've just finished the baking for the day. Think I can serve Sweetheart bread for dinner? Me either. I've got cooling three french baguettes, two whole wheat loaves, 7 loaves of pumpkin bread, 7 loves of banana bread, 20 madeleinnes, and a batch of fudge. Man, you should see all the dishes. I skipped the cookies I was going to make. While doing that, I finalized my menu for the tea. Now, to just pray someone else shows up on Sunday!

There are so many other recipes I love to make, but since this may end up as tea for two (Sweetheart & I), I don't want to go nuts. Most of what I've chosen can be frozen.
I'll be guest-blogging on Christmas Teas for www.advent4evangelicals.com tomorrow. I am open for suggestions as to what to post. Feel free to comment. Please, comment! I'm hoping I can get pictures to post for it as well...

Maybe you could just suggest some ideas for a Christmas tea for two-something simple to do in the midst of the busy season.
Six ladies from my homeschool Bible study group are driving to a nearby town on Sunday for an afternoon tea. I've only been to a tea shop once in my life, and that was only a couple of months ago. Nearby the shop on Sunday is an old victorian house that is decorated for the season. We'll be touring that after our tea. Should be a fun time, except it could be rainy. That's the only bummer.
I hope many turn out for your tea!

What a wonderful assortment of goodies you are going to have!
I am sure that many ladies will show up and enjoy your wonderful and generous hospitality!
Joanna,
Thanks for the ideas! I hope you have a lot of fun.
Kelley,
Thank you for your kind words. Have a lovely weekend.
It sounds absolutely wonderful!!!! Thanks for the great ideas. Take care. Dani
I'll be thinking about you Sunday. I know one thing -- if I lived close enough, I'd be there for sure! :o)
Have a lovely day -- you will be a blessing to whomever shows up!
Dear Jodi~You'd be most welcome!
