Once again I am late posting my Sepia Saturday entry. I watched my grandsons most of the weekend so did not have time to work on this week's theme for Sepia Saturday. I knew I had no good photographs having used my one and only a couple of weeks ago (see here). As the boys were playing on my computer, I sat and thumbed through some vintage magazines I had picked up in antiques stores and just happened to see this article which I thought would be perfect for this week's post. This particular article comes from the October 1935 Better Homes and Gardens issue and talks about how a hostess can prepare for serving tea for an afternoon bridge game.
To read more tea-time stories go to Sepia Saturday.
Ha -- what a funny title, but it's a perfect solution. In fact, when I've filled in at some bridge parties (I'm not in a club), the Dummy has assumed hostess duties, but I never really thought about that before.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you have vintage magazines! They must be very fun and interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful advert. However in these days of yea-bags you could make the tea while someone is shuffling the cards.
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether afternoon bridge cum tea parties still happen.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and dad used to have bridge parties but they never served tea. It was always martinis. I remember because I used to go around after the guests left and sip from all the leftover goblets. It's amazing that I never became a drinker!
