Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 09-29-2010 11:01 AM *Arranging the Tea Table - circa 1940* The following link will only be available for a short time. It is a circa 1940 motion picture about Arranging the Tea Table . Viewing time approximately 8 minuets. Also the "star" is June but it is not my June. IP: Logged

seaduck Posts: 350 Registered: Dec 2006	posted 10-01-2010 10:47 PM Thanks so much for posting this! So much fun to see. As a veteran of many, many teas, I have to say that people (OK, women) often are intimidated at the prospect of hosting a tea, but as this film makes clear,what seems to be arcane ritual is really all about attention to the guests. Bite-size tea sandwiches have their purpose. I don't know what people are thinking when they put out hearty half-sandwiches that no one can manage while standing with a cup of tea. The film leaves out what used to be a staple of teas in Salem, Massachusetts: the discreet cruet or pitcher with white rum...for what was called "Salem tea." (!) (It was a port city......) IP: Logged
