Scone party??

Lucky7's

I ahve been invited to a scone party by a friend who just returned from the British Isles. She will have tea, scones, clotted cream and jams and lemon curd. I do not want to show up empty handed...any ideas of what I can bring to add to the party with in her theme?

What if you bring chocolate covered strawberries?

Whenever I go to a tea room they always serve strawberries with the scones.  I figured covering them in chocolate would just be a nice (not to mention delicious) choice.

I had an afternoon tea for my wedding reception in Englnad, so I added my American slant to it, which was to make cookies and brownies to go with the scones and cream. That was a real hit.

Last year I invited my friend over for a creamed tea and blogged about it.  This might help: http://afroamericanism.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/afternoon-creamed-tea/

maybe you could take a special drink like tea or a special bottle of wine or champagne

What about flowers?

If you did not want to do a food gift (though I do love the idea of a chocolate covered strawberries) you could take something tea realted for her - tea pot, loose tea ball, fancy/gourmet tea.  Another idea that could be used at the party is a good quality, local honey to put in the tea.

I love this idea.  Jam, marmalade or fruit butter would also be a great choice.
