'T' is for Tea Time Tablescape!

Hi everyone! Today's little setting is fit for royalty, completely adorned with ruby and pearls! I'm joining the High Tea Party and Mizz Jenny's Alphabe Thursday with a re-post of my Rubies and Pearls Tablescape from back in April. 
I've been collecting rubyware for years and just love the rich color. 

For such a fancy event even Fernando wore a black tie!

And a little eye candy for dessert.
Have a happy day!

    Oh be still my heart! I love this! Red is my favorite and ruby glass is to die for! I have been keeping my eye out for some. Fernando looks quite dashing in his black tie. The perfect escort for high tea!

    Lynn, I love rubies! The dinnerware that is (and real ones too).I am so nicely envious of your collection.
    Your table is set for 1 but I would love to sit and chat too. Who would not want to have tea at this darling table. And I think Fernando is a fesive chap!
    Love the roses.They almost look velvet! What kind are they? They make a big statememt with your ruby dishes.
    So pretty.
    I am so happy to stop by!

    I love the ruby red and the cobalt blue. I have a friend who collects the ruby red. Her collection is stunning, just like yours. And I love how you added a bit of whimsy to the formal tea.

    Hi Lynn...

    My friend, your rubyware is simply gorgeous! Of course, you know how much I love red! Hehe! It's so funny because I don't even own one piece of rubyware...I may have to remedy that! You certainly set a lovely tea table, my friend! I love how you draped the pretty strand of beads over the teapot! Ohhh my...those roses are sooo very beautiful! They are really unusual looking...the undersides of the petals being so light colored. I wonder what kind they are...do you know? Thanks for sharing your lovely tea with us and Fernando looked quite "dapper" all dressed up in his black tie! Love it!!!

    Warmest wishes,
    Chari @Happy To Design
