On saturday I have been hosting an afternoon tea in the occasion of the foundation of a small women circle we named Pettileweek (too long to explain, it's just a funny word play) in the name of our friendship.
We have been knowing each other for a long time and on saturday we often use to meet at my place for an informal tea or an italian merenda. For this week meeting I was inspired from a lovely - mainly gourmande - italian blog named L'Aiuola Odorosa. She really knows how to prepare an amazing afternoon tea, with british inspired home made food, which I don't, really, but it was just nice to get to know
something about this meal and set up our tea in a more formal way.
For the occasion I went shopping in the most exciting store in town to buy some proper english tea time treats and a good brand of Earl Grey. I added a more continental touch with some chocolate fine biscuits.
We had fun, the atmosphere was cool and relaxed and all the girls were impressed.
Then we went out for a walk to feel less guilty about all the pure butter shortbread we had! :p
Hope your week-end was as sweet as mine,
Have a nice sunday evening ladies,

direi che questo afternoon tea ha avuto e dato ciò che deve avere e dare: raffinatezza, dolcezza e relax.
grazie mille per la citazione, l'aiuola odorosa ne è onorata.

I love lemon-curd!! I ate it for the first time some 20 years ago in England! It seems not too difficult to prepare it by yourself :)
Have a good day, Marjolijn
