Among Summer's Sweetly Scented Flowers

Hello everyone!

It's summer time!  And with such a delightful weather, what better place to have our Lemonade than Al fresco. 

 Here are beautiful gladiolas from our garden for you to enjoy . . .

To decorate the table I'm using flowers, herbs and some half dolls from our little collection. 

Lemonade has been served!  And for the meal . . .  I'm going to leave that to your imagination! 

Soothe your spirit with the quiet pleasures of an Al fresco retreat.

Each place has a small bundle of fresh herb sprigs . . . mint, rosemary & lavender.

Ohhh, such a sweet aroma!

Linger long, savoring the first fresh tastes of summer

Wishing you a delightful Summer!

Nostalgic Collectible

Who can forget their first tea party?  Playing
dress-up and treating your teddy bear and
favorite doll to a lavish repast.  A time where
the tea was perfect and the snacks were sweet,
days were endless, and dreams reflected all
things possible.

All grown up, and remembering those sweet
memories tugs at our heartstrings and wishes
for the simplest of pleasures.

The perfect tea party always started

with your imagination.

Now, let's have Tea!

Snowball Tea Cookies are so

delicious!

 Baby Crissy was a very special present

from one of my aunt, Gladys.  I was 4 years old

when I received her; that day I played all day

long, and when bedtime came I did not want

to go to sleep.  I still remember as if it were

yesteday.
