A new passion has evolved...
On the linen someone had lovingly stitched tiny dark blue crosses in pretty designs.
There is nothing in my home that is dark blue and white,
because I've always thought of myself as an 'aqua blue kinda girl!'
But I stood and admired this table cloth, and thought:
'OH YES - I think that I could love you!'.
And since that moment passed...
have acquired a few blue and white pieces of china.
Vintage of course!
I made delicate wee meringues to complete the tea party.
When they had cooled I kissed them together with fresh vanilla flavoured cream.
so the ones you see in the photographs are the second batch!
First lesson was, to have oven temperature on low as if it is too high,
your meringues go brown in a blink of an eye!)
your meringues go brown in a blink of an eye!)
Delicious, sweet meringue kisses...
looking like royalty with the blue and white table setting.
and these miniature camellias in a tiny white jug brought a smile to the party.

ReplyDeleteThank you Pamela. Treasure Hunt Thursday is a favourite place! :) These meringues are so easy to make and so delicious. I'll be making them again very soon!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! I remember when my mum and aunt had a blue and white phase too - everything at home transported me to an English home in the countryside. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammi, glad it brought back fond memories for you. :)
ReplyDeleteThat plate and teacup... just divine!! Thats a brilliant effort for only your second batch! Meringues are tricky!! Go you! Mmmm I just love that melt-in-your mouth taste from a really good meringue! Happy Fabulous Foodie Fridays xx
ReplyDeleteI learnt very quickly about recipe/oven temp differences with my first batch of icky brown meringues lol. Once you get your individual oven temp sorted, these are so easy to make!
