I'm having a touch of lime tea party on the patio. My blooming teapots are still thriving and it's tea on the patio with a savory snack that one of my friends brought to the tea party last week.
I love to use this lovely platter from Kevin and Kristen whenever I can. I have three of these matching pieces from Sasha Nicholas. On the underneath side a beautiful message can be personalized, which makes the gift even more special.
I'm using one of the six sets that my late Great Aunt Kitty painted for me for my wedding shower. These cucumber snacks are so tasty and the easy recipe comes from my friend, Belinda, who said that her sister-in-law serves these before every dinner meal.
What would I serve to accompany these snacks? Why it's Key Lime tea, of course!
My longtime blogging friend, Debbie, from Mountain Breaths sent this darling mini crate of tea from her recent trip to Key West. The tea is very refreshing and in the summer I will be sipping it iced.

My grandson, Caiden, turns 20 today! Happy Birthday to this special guy!
