Well, on Sunday..we are having a teaparty with cupcakes, since they are so popular. It is for my Granddaughter, Rachel, who is getting married on Monday. They came and got all of my pretty green cake pedistals today..plus my antiques depression glass cake plate...so I will take some pictures and show you. My daughter does great parties. She is the one that lives in "The Barn" that once belonged to Emilie Barnes. I love your book. I must get a copy for my daughter. She would love it! What a neat thing to win!
Allison..thank you so much for your sweet comment on my not so great post. I think..I try to do them too fast lately. Just SO much going on and SO much to do!
Hugs.. :)

Good morning Allison!!

I love your new tea book and I would so love to come have tea with you!! :) I would love the Southern Tea, of course, but the English tea is nice too. I've had lots of tea parties and always love them. My Mama and I are going to start having tea every morning at each others houses after she retires from work and my job ends. I'm looking forward to that. :)

Go put a kettle on the stove and I'll be there for tea soon. LOL :)

Hugs & Blessings,

Katherine

Awww, an early BIG 21 birthday wish to you - and congrats for winningg such a cool prize!! My oldest daughter (23) is a big fan of green tea... She can't go a day without it... Her mom, (me), who's not quite so smart is a coffee drinker... She tries to get me to swtich because, after all, tea is much healthier... Have a beautiful weekend!!!... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage

Lovely! There is something so civilized about tea. It's calming and dainty and oh so ladylike. I love the pictures.

Hi Allison. I am over from Whisper sweetly of cottages - isn't she a sweetheart?
I love tea - thank you for posting your prize!
So I was reading through your blog to find out you go to UCSD. My youngest son is also 20, and has several friends who go there and also San Diego State.
Boy, can I relate to wanting your own place. It will all come in time. I was the exact same way when I was your age.
I just found the same little iron bird bath you posted under your Sense and Sensibility post, at a yard sale I went to on Fri. I got it for $2! But it very rusty, which I think I like. I put it in my entry - I'll be posting pictures later. So come over to my blog for a visit!
Enjoyed visiting. I'll be back!
