It’s a lovely day for a tea party. We’ll invite all our friends. Invitations will be sent out.
We’ll use Grandmother’s China-oh do be careful!
We’ll use Grandmother’s China-oh do be careful!
Who will wear the most outrageous hat?
Who will bring flowers for the hostess?
Shall we plan the menu?
Tea-of course! English Breakfast, Darjeeling, Earl Grey…
Scones with clotted cream…
Little finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off…
Shortbread cookies shaped like hearts...
The table in the morning room is set for a ladies tea. Everyone will choose their cup and a fancy lace napkin. I’ll use mum-in-law’s china-it has a lovely rose in the center. The tablecloth is Grandma’s wedding ring quilt. It is in all the right pastel shades. The early afternoon sun coming through the window throws a rainbow of light on our festivities.
Everyone will leave with a box of treats tied up with a pretty ribbon to remember this day.
