Tea time at Myrtle's in Richfield, Washington had been discussed
with my friend, Jan, for quite awhile.
Last week we ventures north for afternoon tea.
And what a very special tea time it was!
The tomato bisque was delicious.
Each sandwich was so fresh and a different bread, which made the sandwiches so delightful.
There was fresh fruit too, which I always love with my tea.
With an extensive tea menu it was hard to choose just the right tea,
but I ended up with a black ginger peach.
One of the few times I drink a blended tea is when I have afternoon tea at a tearoom
and this was a perfect match.
I loved the vintage Fransciscan ware our tea was served on.
It brought back memories of my step-grandmother, Myrtle.
Often by the time the sweets come along I am too full to eat them.
These sweets did come home with me, but enjoyed later in the day.
The upper left was as miniature mango scone, which was quite good.
Oh my, there were alot of pretty teacups and teapots in the gift shop.
There was another room beside this one that sold tea and books.
What fun this tea time at Myrtle's was and for sure there will be a repeat trip in my future.

How special that you two friends could enjoy such a lovely teatime!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the variety of breads the tea sandwiches were made of and how everything looks so fresh...
Dear Marilyn:
ReplyDeleteI love her tea room and gift shop except she needs a longer table cloth to cover the boxes - ha! We never did that until our 90 day going out of business sale and then I did just to keep from having to go upstairs which I'm guessing convenience was the idea here too! Isn't that lamp a beauty! Very nice. Thanks for sharing and linking.
Dear Marilyn:
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else commented how much you and Janice at "Curtains In My Tree" look alike?
Here is her link - what do you think? http://curtainsinmytree.blogspot.com/2016/04/american-picker-girls.html
