  • Does the idea of hosting an afternoon tea seem overwhelming? It's super easy with this garage sale find and sweets from Aldi. It's a no muss, no fuss table that is ready in no time for your guests. See an easy "table runner" made of dinner napkins. Why didn't I think of this sooner? Antique demitasse spoons are just the right size for these vintage snack sets. It's an all in one place setting with easy tea fare. Violets and shades of green delight!

    Absolutely love Aldi - I started shopping there as a newly wed on a budget over 15 yrs ago. I still can’t believe how they make the fancy, affordable! My girls and I love picking up fun treats for our tea time as well as charcuterie essentials for when I host friends.

    This video is filled with ideas to make hosting a tea party easier than expected. Putting a slice of strawberry in an open cream puff and sprinkling with powdered sugar is something so easy to do yet looks so elegant in its presentation. Thank you for showing us ways to put together a lovely tablescape and how to find delicious treats for our tea party or other gathering.

    Oh Mary Beth! Oh I absolutely love the vintage snack set, boy! What a find! I do have an Aldi‘s store near me and I love the idea of the frozen cream puffs. Of course, I love every single piece on your table, just lovely.
    Respectfully, Mary Dray
    Ps: I got my green VB chargers! I am so overwhelmed with how beautiful they are and I’m so glad that you introduced them to me💗

      @@LadyMaryBeth Thank you. If you would ever like to collaborate together and do a tea time video, I would be more than happy to. I've done so many tea tablescape videos but for me, it's never enough 🙂

    Mary Beth,
    Thank you so much for taking us along to Aldi. I have never shopped there because I have read so many conflicting reviews. I will now make a trip there because I trust your judgment! Beautiful table, as usual. I adore the three tiered server. Simply beautiful.❤

    • @LadyMaryBeth

      Aldi really has some interesting items and prices are good. My father has them deliver groceries to his door. Aldi orange juice is always a staple for him. I keep looking for their frozen croissants, but have not seen them lately. They are so GOOD!

      Aldi’s frozen plain and chocolate croissants are delicious served warm with jam. 🥐 My store has been out of these lately. Enjoy tea with your mom! 🫖💗☕️

    Tea time on a budget. This is SO DO-ABLE!!! We use to shop at Aldi when we were little kids (Indiana) and I have not been inside one since. I will keep these tips in mind. *LOVE THIS!!*

    • @LadyMaryBeth

      It’s definitely worth a trip to Aldi. I get stuck on the chocolate aisle. 😂 Neat that you know about Aldi from childhood. Thanks and enjoy your day! 😀

    "Sea shell shape" - I was stumbling over that just listening! Beautiful, Mary Beth.

    I'd never seen tea warmers until I saw yours. Would you consider sharing the tea warmers you have and telling us how to use them? Thank you!

    • @LadyMaryBeth
      @LadyMaryBeth  3 роки тому

      Choose a tea warmer that fits most teapots. Amazon is a good source for a glass one with a metal cover. I have some that match my dish patterns.

    Is your teapot sitting on a warmer? Thanks again!

    • @LadyMaryBeth
      @LadyMaryBeth  3 роки тому +1

      I use a teapot warmer when setting a tea table. Several of my Villeroy & Boch patterns have matching warmers to fit the individual teapot. Not all manufacturers offer this. Picked up
      a vintage glass warmer at a flea market in Germany years ago. It accommodates all my various teapots.

    I just thought you would be interested to know that we have Aldi here in Australia and what I could see is you have very different items to buy in the USA !
    We do not have many of your cake choices sadly .
    I am trying to watch all your posts and catch up..
    I so enjoy your channel and I am a big porcelain lady but ..... I have to say I am starting to look at the glass and crystal a lot more in the shops !! I think you are having a bad influence on me --- lol

    • @LadyMaryBeth
      @LadyMaryBeth  3 роки тому

      Interesting! Glad to know that you can shop Aldi in Australia. The store in our German village also has different items. We spend summers there. Oh, how I wish I could shop it all here in Texas. So happy to hear from a fellow porcelain collector! China, crystal, and silver run deep in our veins. I see lots of crystal and antique pressed glass in your future!

    What is your teapot sitting on?

    • @LadyMaryBeth
      @LadyMaryBeth  2 роки тому

      It’s a “Rechaud”, which is a warmer featuring a tea light candle inside. We use these in Germany and china patterns traditionally offered these.
