Tea Anyone?
Ah, tea. One of the great wonders of the world. Just kidding. :) Although, tea is pretty amazing. Some friends and I celebrated the Olympics with a British Tea party; fitting since the Olympics are being held in London. We started off by simply watching the Olympics sports scheduled for that day, and then followed with a delicious luncheon of cucumber sandwiches, mini quiches, scones, cookies, veggies, and the all important tea. I simply enjoy occasions which call for using the nice china and dishes. It is so much fun to dress up a table by bringing out the finest you have and makes one feel so much more elegant. (After the everyday use of mugs to drink tea, drinking out of a fine china cup and saucer makes you feel positively regal.)
I thought you may enjoy seeing a few photos of our ladies day of fellowship. I have been incredibly blessed by these girl's lives and thank God for them every day. The next time you have people over, take the time to make it nice and have fun being just a bit nicer than usual.
Vaya con Dios!

My, what a lovely display, my dear! I wholeheartedly agree with you- drinking tea from china is much more elgant and regal than simply drinking it from plain mugs. :) Isn't it amazing how by simply changing the vessel, it can seem so much brighter, and the tea sweeter? I see a bit of a metaphor in that one! ;) And the memory of fellowship is sweet indeed! Perchance one of these days i shall break out the china... :D
