A perfect proper English tea...and some sweet gifts...

 My granddaughters were all here this Summer and gathered in the gazebo for a
tea and conversation.

There was quite a lot of tea drinking going on...

(actually orange mango fruit juice)

there was a lot of good conversation...(in an English accent only)...

a lot of bare toes

and dressed in grandma's best old clothes...

Plenty of cakes and sherbet...

There was a lot of sipping...

(look at that proper pinkie placement below)

a lot of eating...

 a lot of smiles...

and lots of laughing...

a little helping...

a lot of reaching across the table

some finger licking

 and a lot of spoon licking as well...

Okay...so maybe it wasn't all that proper after all...

but it was perfect in every way...

and in the end...a wonderful, wonderful day!

The End

***

I have won another lovely giveaway that I would like to share.

I won this set of beautiful napkins from Wanda at Victorian 1885

Wanda lives in Canada and her beautiful blog is a true delight.

I know that if you haven't already met Wanda, you will so enjoy a trip to her blog.

She tucked these beautiful handkerchiefs inside the package as a surprise with 

a lovely card and rose bookmark just for me. 

Thank you so much Wanda, for the lovely win!!! 

The other day, when I went to get my mail at the Post Office, I was surprised by another

gift from a dear blogging friend.

 M at the OC Cottage sent me a just because gift...two issues of 'Ceremony',

the beautiful wedding event magazine.

She knew I would love the flowers and the arrangements

in these amazing publications.

And I have.

Along with this wonderful gesture, was one of her lovely cards and a pink glittered starfish!

 I have three of her beautiful starfish from a giveaway I won awhile ago...

But...

I didn't have a pink one.

But...

now I do!!!

Thank you so much dearest M, for such a lovely thought

and a lovely gift to brighten my days.

Speaking of gifts...

this is what the girls (my cute little hens)

are giving me these days!!!

Landon got the first omelet!

Thank you to all of you who stop by and visit me here. I love it when you come

by and see what I have been up to here in my little corner of the world.

I wish you all a lovely week and will see you all soon!
