The Spring Tea

Last Sunday was the big Springtime Tea...amidst the wildflowers at The Center. Here's me, getting ready, and it's the one special occasion when I do put on a hat!

Getting the food out and the tables prepared for the guests.

Beautiful bouquets on all the tables.

An afternoon of "high tea" and a table fit for a queen!

and more!

Yummy sandwiches and sweets!

It's "curtain time"! Take a bow!

Lovely fresh swags to adorn the food table.

The tables await the guests.

Outside on the patio too.

Music from the harp and flute. Just like angels.

There was the meeting and greeting of everyone with iced Orange Jasmine Green tea.

Lemon Almond tea with the spring tea buffet.

Lovely piano music too.

Dessert tea was Honey Vanilla Chamomile.

The weather was lovely, the food yummy, the flowers beautiful and the program inspiring. An enjoyable time was had by all.
