Easter Quiche and Hot Cross Buns for Tea on Tuesdays

I am truly honored to be a guest blogger for Tea on Tuesdays. 

Mary and Pam have the most beautiful blogs and I am thankful to call them friends, and to be invited to share my special Teatime for Easter.  You will be inspired by their lovely teatimes by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page. 

Thank you, Mary and Pam for inviting me.  

My al fresco Easter breakfast tea started with this most beautifully embroidered tablecloth that Michele sent me last year.  Isn't this the sweetest design?  It fits on my outdoor table just perfectly. 

 I've made my very favorite Hot Cross Buns from a recipe that a sweet Australian friend shared with me.  These buns are so heavenly, and truly incredible.   You can find the recipe for them here.   This year I decided to just pipe on the cross after they were cooled, with a simple powdered sugar and water icing.  The Bavarian plate was from my Paternal Grandmother Grace.  I love having family pieces.

Wanting to go with a blue theme to match my tablecloth, I found directions to make this folded bunny napkin.  Allrecipes provided the easiest instructions that I found, after attempting some others that were so frustrating.  The pretty Bavarian plate was one of my little Mom's.  She loved hanging plates on the wall, and I know I inherited her love of pretty china pieces.  

My sister gifted me this Grace's Teaware teacup and it has a toile scene inside of the cup, which complements my quiche dish.

Using one of my kid's Easter basket, I found flowers from Trader Joe's to fill it and picking up the colors in my tablecloth.  My son, Mike, stenciled several rocks for me and this Faith one is so appropriate for Easter.  My cross is from last year's palm on Palm Sunday.

My youngest son and Daughter-in-law gave me this Anthropologie Quiche dish.  

Not being able to fit everything on my table,  I used my little outdoor ottoman for assistance.  The bunny cabbage teapot is an oldie but goodie, and the beautiful English Breakfast tea was from Mary.  My bunny planter contains my Shamrock plant from St. Patrick's Day.
