Happy Tuesday!
Welcome to the March edition of Tea on Tuesdays,
a celebration of all things tea.
Pam and I are excited to welcome back
Shannon at Belle Bleu Interiors,
as a special guest joining us for tea today.
🫖 ☕ 🎉 🐇🌸🐰

We’re celebrating spring with a tea party with bunnies today . . .
choose your favorite teacup!
A Fitz and Floyd Halcyon Rabbit Teapot is a favorite for spring!
It was first introduced in 2003 and is still available 20 years later. . .
it’s not hard to see why with the pretty pansy border and bunny perched on the lid.
You can find it at my Bunnies and Blossoms Spring Tablescape.
We’re sipping English Breakfast New English Teas today.
The vintage-inspired Victorian tea tin is generously sized
and makes for a pretty vase for a flower arrangement for teatime too.
Flower-shaped sugar cubes add a little whimsy and
sweetness to our tea for our tea party!
DIY Flower Sugar Cubes are easy to make, and add a floral note
and nod to spring blooms for a tea party.
These decorative sugar cubes are a fun project and come together with a
hands on time of less than 10 minutes, requiring just three ingredients
and a silicone mold.
Customize your sugar cubes using the molds and colors of your choice
to match your theme, party or holiday!
Omit food coloring if you prefer and add flavor extracts,
like peppermint, rose extract or vanilla, to flavor your sugar and tea!
Store your sugar cubes in an airtight container or jar until ready to use.
Use within two weeks, or keep in the freezer for longer storage.
More details to make your own, including molds found, HERE.
Floral Meadow Salad Plates are served on everybunny’s favorite cabbage leaf plates. . .
The four assorted woodland bunnies in flower-strewn fields
have joined me at the table to celebrate Easter,
and are still available at Williams-Sonoma.
A pansy bunny pitcher was a long ago purchase from HomeGoods
and has hopped to many a table over the years. . .
She’s holding hyacinth blooms in celebration of spring.
Confiserie Heidel Easter Egg-Shaped Tins provide sweet
takeaway favors at each placesetting with Easter on its way!
Help yourself for some sweet treats to enjoy with your tea. . .
Russian Teacakes, also know as Mexican Wedding or Snowball Cookies, are
filled with pecans, covered in confectioners’ sugar, but not overly sweet!
They’re melt-in-your-mouth tender and crumbly like a shortbread cookie.
Find the recipe, HERE.
Mini Strawberry Scones and Lemon Tea Cakes
hopped home with me from the grocery store bakery.
They’re served with a pretty Victorian tart server.
I added a simple vanilla confectioners’ sugar glaze to dress up the scones.
Violas from a garden planter add a pretty floral detail to garnish Lemon Tea Cakes.
Violas / pansies are edible flowers that have a slightly floral-lettuce like flavor.
They’re easily removed for those who prefer to look at them, rather than eat them. :)
As with any edible flower, use only ones that are chemical and pesticide free.
Last but last, macarons from the freezer section of the grocery store
come in a variety of Easter egg-like colors
and in assorted flavors of raspberry, pistachio, vanilla and coffee.

Good Tuesday morning, Mary! I’ll take my tea in the Tiffany blue and pink, please, while I admire the incredible detail on your table! Even with store bought items, you add little flourishes for our visual pleasure, my goodness! The scone drizzle, the pansy garnish, amd even the little sugar flowers on the runner, you truly make photos artwork. The teapots are adorable, both for serving fluid and flowers.it’s so fun to come here and see all the beautiful things, but I also always enjoy all the links to prior posts and sources. Thank you!
Good morning, Mary. So many lovely teacups, I can’t seem to choose one! Halcyon Rabbit Teapot is adorable, Fitz and Floyd remain a favorite! Bunnies playing in fields of flowers is much preferred over them playing in my garden. Hyacinths bring a fragrance to any setting and are perfect in your pansy bunny pitcher. The Heidel egg-shaped tins are a great idea for takeaway favors and who doesn’t love a takeaway! The treats look delicious, I would love a macaron and lemon tea cake with my coffee on this rainy and windy morning.
It is always a pleasure to share tea with you, Mary. Happy Easter 🩵🐰💐
Good morning Mary ~ such a lovely Easter tea time ! I loved the DIY sugar flowers, and I can see making them for bridal showers or baby showers and other holidays too. Up here in northern CT it just doesn’t want to be spring yet but the beautiful spring colors do help ! We have some forsythia blossoms starting to peek out at least. Happy Easter to you ~ Hugs, Dorinda
Wonderful vignettes and great inspiration! A mouthwatering post too… Thank you!
Good morning, Mary! Your entire tea setting is such a delight to visit. The Fitz and Floyd bunny teapot is precious holding the fragrant hyacinth bouquet. You have such a pretty collection of teacups that it would be difficult to choose a favorite. The bunny plates are adorable and match perfectly to the green majolica plates. The party favors are a perfect idea in the pretty eggs. Your treats look scrumptious! I would love a strawberry scone and lemon cake with my tea this morning. Thank you so much for inviting me to tea. It is always such a joy to join Pam and you! Wishing you a happy and blessed Easter, sweet friend!
Good morning Mary, your Tuesday morning tea is precious with the darling Fitz and Floyd Halcyon bunny teapot. The flower sugar cubes are such a sweet addition. Love your little pansy bunny pitcher. You have some a lovely collection of tea cups, it is difficult to pick a favorite. The assorted treats would be so welcome with a lovely cup of tea. Thank you for the inspiration/ Happy Easter.🐇
Mary, you are lighting up my Tuesday morning! Happy Tea on Tuesday! Your bunnylicious post has me hopping from photo to photo. That bunny teapot is a charmer! Just the sight of your teatime treats had me reaching for something sweet here to nibble on as I continued. Thanks for always inspiring and delighting. Happy Easter!
I would love a cup of tea in any of those pretty teacups Mary, and the F&F teapot is adorable! So is that sweet embroidered bunny tea towel! I love the flower shaped sugar cubes, how fun are those! The WS bunny plates are so cute, I love sets that have a slightly different design on each plate. The pansy bunny pitcher is so cute, who could resist that! Wonderful sweet treats and the egg shaped tins are a great party favor~ Thank you so much for the delightful Easter tea party! 🌷🐇🌷

Pam, I forgot to mention your idea to use the bunny teapot as a centerpiece. Love this idea! I will definitely be a copycat!
Mary, I know your hyacinths smell divine. I love their scent. You have so many darling bunnies sharing their cuteness today. As well, as fabulous treats! Your DIY floral sugar cubes are so cute and impressive! I would love to sit at this delightful tea table and share tea with you! It would be so nice on this rainy day! Happy Easter!
I couldn’t choose a favorite because I was too mesmerized by the fact that the sugar cubes were color coordinated with each teacup. That’s a whole new level for tea time, and it’s the perfect finishing touch!
Happy Tuesday to you, dear Mary!
Your tea table setting is darling. I love all the tea cups, and I am having difficulty choosing which one I would like to enjoy my tea in.
I am swooning over your Fitz and Floyd teapot. It’s adorable.
Thank you once again for the inspiration.
Happy Easter to you and yours.
*Sigh* What a special tea time for Easter or Spring, Mary. I can’t wait to show this to my grand daughter. She will squeal with delight as have I. Have a beautiful and blessed Easter.
What a beautiful and Happy Easter teatime, Mary! I’m choosing the top left teacup with the flowers and butterflies to go with my treats. I’ve been wanting to make sugar cubes and will have to give this a try. Your F&F teapot is adorable and those cabbage plates with the bunny plates atop are so perfect. I’m going to go fix a cup of tea right now in your honor.
Beautiful eggs Love everything that you do!
Mary, Your tea table is beautiful! Gracie cups are always so delicate and pretty. I so enjoy seeing a nice variety of them. Your plate stack is lovely and your molded sugars are such a cute idea! I love your table runner and the bunny centerpiece with the hyacinths is adorable. Happy Easter! Clara❤️
Mary, another beautiful table setting!
I love the bunny teapot! I get so many cute ideas from you! When asked, I always give credit to Home is where the boat is! Now when my family asks where a new idea comes from, they automatically know!!
Thanks again!

Mary, your bunny tea table is delightful!! It’s so springy and perfect for Easter, especially on this cold Calgary day. The goodies look so tempting and I adore those flower sugar cubes. The Halcyon tea pot is just so cute and I’m imagining that the hyacinths smell divine. The WS bunny plates are so lovely and the table runner is adorable. You have such a lovely collection of tea cups that it would be impossible to choose a favorite. I’ll have a lemon tea cake and a pistachio macaron please. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity and wishing you a lovely Easter!
Adorable, you have so much fun playing!
