When last I left you, I was planning a tea party in honor of Tasha Tudor's birthday. The tea went off quite nicely. When reviewing my photos afterwards, I discovered I didn't take any pictures of the food. Very sad. It was very good.

The big tea hit was the Blackberry Fig, which I ordered from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Merchants. It was delicious!!!
Here are some highlights of the morning.
This is the "under 18" table. There was sure a lot of giggling going on. I suppose that means they had a good time.
Brooke Nicole. Are you behaving yourself?
Who? Me? Of COURSE I am! Why would you think otherwise, Mother Dear?
I thought so, Brooke. You are always the epitomy of grace and decorum.
The grownups had less giggling, but lots of great conversation and fun! AND, most importantly, we ate! And drank loads of tea.
After the party, Stewart decided he wanted some tea.
Tea is not for kitties, Stewart. How about just a teeny bit of cream. This is a rare treat!
Kallie didn't want to be left out, of course.
Of course, after the cream, Kallie needed a nap. I'm SO glad my cats are obedient to the "no cats on the table" rule. :::sigh:::
I enjoyed hosting my first tea. I can't wait to do the next one!
