Last month, it was my turn to host Meeta‘s Monthly Mingle and I decided to have a High Tea party. Let me just say that I was pleasantly surprised at how many of you decided to join us for tea with a whole lot of the most gorgeous variety of food. Even the Queen would have struggled to maintain her composure out of sheer delight at the spread on the tea table!
I was supposed to have done this round-up much earlier, but like I explained, I was away on a short vacation. Now I am back, its time for the round-up.
We had quite a few guests at tea (with a total of 80 submissions, you can imagine what a grand affair this gets to be) and if you scroll down you can see just what they all brought with them. The tea time treats have been presented with the savoury first followed by the sweet.

I have included here all the entries I received. If by some chance, I have left your entry or you find there has been some mix up, please leave a comment at this post and I will do the needful at the earliest.
