Good Tuesday morning, my friends!
Well, it seems Typepad is back in working order this morning, so I'm here to say Hello! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I'd like to share a few pictures of a little "moms' tea" I hosted Sunday afternoon for a few dear friends:
I used my beloved pinecone tea set, the one I bought for a song at a discount store many years ago ... I set the tea table up in the living room where we gathered, in front of a sunny window. And for refreshments, we had strawberry-rhubarb coffee cake (purchased from a local farm) and tender butter spritz cookies ...
... there were also fresh strawberries to nibble on and, of course, there was tea! (Black English Afternoon Tea to be exact.)
Before my friends arrived, I arranged a samplng of our woodland blossoms into jars and pitchers - azaleas and lily-of-the-valley as well as a clump of the yellow archangel which is, quite frankly, taking over our property. Invasive, but quite pretty.
Fourteen years ago, I started homeschooling alongside these dear ladies ...
We try to meet, at least once a year, for a little "tea and conversation" ... to catch up and compare notes. Years ago (though it seems like just yesterday!) we were discussing curriculum and co-op - nowadays we're grappling with college decisions and life "after homeschooling." (Though a couple of us are still in the thick of it!)
Speaking of which, this little guy was thrilled to be part of the "tea," because otherwise it was a "child-free" event ...
:)
It was such a fun day and I loved having them all here ... hope to do it again soon!
*❤*
Well, thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share my day with you ... I hope you enjoy your Tuesday, my friends!
I'll be back here again very soon ...
