Hello, Dear Ones! I wanted to share a little tea I hosted at my home on Saturday! It was for the ladies of our Women's Ministry from my church. I had fun getting everything set up.


Of course I served hot tea, although, I think I was the only one who drank the hot tea! Another drink that seemed to be a hit was a large pitcher of water with sliced cucumbers floating in it. It is very nice tasting! Try it sometimes.

Oh, my goodness! There's Chloe Dawn again. How'd she get in the picture? She thinks she's being sneaky, but I can see her! :)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Have A Cuppa Tea
Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
And she's always puffin' and pantin',
And she's always screaming and shouting,
And she's always brewing up tea.
Grandpappy's never late for his dinner,
Cos he loves his leg of beef
And he washes it down with a brandy,
And a fresh made cup of tea.
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea.
If you feel a bit under the weather,
If you feel a little bit peeved,
Take granny's stand-by potion
For any old cough or wheeze.
It's a cure for hepatitis it's a cure for chronic insomnia,
It's a cure for tonsilitis and for water on the knee.
Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper
time,
You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing.
Tea when the weather's fine,
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
For any old ailment or disease
For Heaven's sake have a cuppa tea.
Whatever the situation whatever the race or creed,
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
It knows no motivations, no sect or organisation,
It knows no one religion,
Nor political belief.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea party for your women's group! I'm sure they enjoy themselves. I like your faux flowers and your beautiful teapots and dishes. My, you have a lot of teapots! I have one and it's not even pretty. But, I am on the search for a nice china one with flowers on it. I like the bathroom fancied up like that too. So cute. I enjoyed my visit. Blessings, Pamela

ReplyDeleteShelia everything looks so pretty, looks like you ladies had a wonderful time!! Shelia my parents had the same exact chairs that you have in your dining room. If you take a look at my post on my daughter Mackenzie's room she has the arm chair in there that I just painted. When my mom gave the set away she couldn't part with the arm chair, and gave it to me. Have a great week, Martina
