Tea Party

I threw a small tea party for a few of my mom's friends {I guess they are my friends too!}.  I tried to prepare as much as I could the night before, and my mom came over early to help put it all together.

I love pulling out all my teacups, teapots and china to use.

Everything feels so girly.

I made Egg Salad Sandwiches & Turkey Cranberry Croissants {these were a huge hit!},

Cucumber Sandwiches,

and Plain & Cranberry Scones + Devonshire Cream {not pictured} of course!

The lunch plates are my Great Aunt Lydia's china {read - super duper old!}.

And then everything else has been gifted or collected over the years.  See the adorable name plates?  My sister, Davese, had just given those to me.  They were a perfect addition.

This was the dessert plate. {Yes please!}

Ry loved having tea with us for a few minutes, then he ran off to play.

I had a last minute cancellation {and a ton of food}, so I texted Darby and invited her to come over.

Left to right:  my momma, Retha, Becky & Darby.  I forgot to take a picture of Shelley who had to work so she showed up a little later.

It was a great time of conversation and yummy {at least I think it was yummy} food!
