Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:2
Our second annual church tea party was held on Saturday, 29 March, at 2 p.m. It was a wonderful event, filled with beautiful china pieces, fresh flowers, dainty napkins and scrumptious treats. Janie Tanton and her helpers prepared "easy" cranberry and blueberry scones, lemon curd, mock Devonshire clotted cream, chicken salad , cucumber, and creamed cheese sandwiches. I couldn't stop eating!
Distinguished sisters and friends fellowshipped in the Lord. The music was lovely.
Door prizes were won (not by me -- oh, well). The youngest party guest, baby Chloe, was a joy. Thanks for coming with your precious treasure, Ada!!
Nancy and I used white, ivory, pink and green on our "Mother Goose" tea table. The place cards had a nursery rhyme on one side, and the word welcome on the other. Nancy glued small feathered geese onto wooden baby blocks. Each goose had a pink or light green ribbon tied around her neck. The centerpiece was a spectacular small arrangement in white and pink by Suzanne, Mickey's cousin, placed in a musical tea pot.

Clarissa and Abbie getting ready the afternoon's performance. Bravo!
Very grateful to and for Christie McKee, Janie Tanton, and everyone else who made the tea party such a blessed gathering.
I don't want to rush time, but I look forward to next year's tea party! :)

The theme of our table is “Royal Tea.” We arrived at this name because our family china is called “Royal Hunt.” That’s the kind Mother wanted when she got married. The colors are kind of Christmas-y, but the dishes are appropriate for any time of the year.
The dishes reflect a bountiful table, full of harvest’s yield and hunt’s bounty – everything you would find at the table of a king. The table of a king – that is where we all are privileged to sit because of his provision for us. This table is called “Royal Tea” because we are all daughters of the King; bask in the knowledge that you are a princess! We are all ROYALTY!
