Great time at Ladies Tea Ride

[sewnonnie]

We had a beautiful day for our Ladies Tea ride. I was joined by GASpyderLady(Joan), Cathie, james danny (Danny and Barbara), missisb (Laura) and Barbara's cousin, Terry. The drive on GA 36 to GA 212 and then GA16 was wonderful - very little traffic, crossed over Lake Jackson and Oconee River (a picture stop), went thru quaint towns (Monticello, Eatonton, Sparta) and ended up at Jewell. The Jewell box is in a converted old home. Denise, the owner, has wonderful antiques. She served a beautiful afternoon tea including cucumber sandwiches, pimento cheese and jelly (with a nice spicy bite) sandwiches, cranberry white chocolate scones with homemade berry peach jam and clotted cream, and puff pastry cream and berry tarts (with a surprise in the inner shell). We sampled three teas - Passion, the House blend and Creme Brulee. I think the Cream Brulee was our favorite. The ride back was just as beautiful.

We discussed making this an annual event, but perhaps a Spring ride may be of more interest. Laura, Barbara, CAthie and Joan all took pics and will add them as they can.

Ok, I'm jealous! Spyderpops calls me a tea snob...with good reason of course. Thanks for sharing your great pics. Too bad Georgia is so far from Arkansas. I would have joined my yellow Spyder with yours!

Hey, I've seen Harvey's nice truck and trailer. He could have brought both you and your Spyder to Georgia for the tea ride!

He could have brought me for sure! I might just surprise you next tea time and show up! There aren't too many limits for a true tea snob! :-D
