Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for coming by today~You're just in time for tea!
We decided to set out two tables today, so there will be plenty of room if you want to bring a doll or two :)~
While we bigger folks will sit at the bigger table here~
The Japanese Knotweed is in bloom, and makes a lovely centerpiece~
Add some pretty cups and saucers, a few healthful refreshments (Except maybe for the pickles), a lemon slice~
And we're all ready to enjoy a few moments of each others' company! Oh yes, don't forget the tea: today's tea is a blend of sage leaves and linden blossoms, very yummy and nourishing.
(Should you be in the mood for something a little more filling than carrots, popcorn, and pickles, we'll be serving up garden-fresh ratatouille in a few minutes here :) )
Thank you to Emily of A Beautiful Life for motivating us to have our party today~we hope you all enjoyed it as much we did it. May you have a blessed day, dear friends, till next time.
Love,
Marqueta

My fields are not too rich in grain,
My orchard trees are lean and few;
But, friend of mine, come once again,
Ever their yield belongs to you!
The rooms within my house are small,
Their furnishings are not the best;
But, friend of mine, my home and all
It holds is yours--come you and rest!

ReplyDeleteOh! I love your tea! I felt as if I was right there along with you! :) It looks like it was a great fun and that your girls enjoyed it ~ as well as yourself! :) I think it's so refreshing to "dress up" and have some extra girl time with our children! :) Thanks for sharing!!!

Wow! You really keep this place updated! I was very much blessed to vicariously enjoy your tea party. As I said before, the internet can be such a landmine. Honestly, I did not even know there was anything new today, but the post for today made it all the better. Thanks again!

ReplyDeleteDear Marqueta, I love the pictures. So SO sweet. I love looking at the fun things you do with your children. It brings back memories of when all mine were smaller. I like to think I did my best to enjoy every moment.
