A Sisters Tea Party

Last weekend, Country Girl and her friend H hosted a Victorian Tea Party. The guest list included H's two sisters and their mother, Country Girl's friend D and her sister and me. I wore my yellow sundress that was completely inappropriate. The others were dressed in Victorian costume and when I arrived I was greeted as "Lady Apple." It took me a bit to get into character but it was great fun. We strolled the gardens, enjoyed delicious food and even made sachets.

This is the sight that greeted us as we arrived.
The path was created with sunflower heads.

Yards and yards of tulle and flowers everywhere.

The flowers made a lovely
backdrop for this beautiful tea set.

The tables were beautifully decorated.

H even brought her tea trolley.

H and her sisters.

We were treated to an assortment of sandwiches.
There were decadent desserts too!

It was great fun! Thanks for inviting me, Sis! I'm already planning my costume for next year in hopes that this is an annual event.

Visiting in the Garden

The summer seems to be flying by. Over a week ago Country Girl and I had the opportunity to meet Martha in person. Her daughter was at a camp not too terribly far from us so she and her son were able to stop for a couple of hours one afternoon.

We had an enjoyable afternoon visiting in the back yard. Martha is just as pleasant and down to earth in person as she is on her blog. Maybe we will be able to get together again next year.

This past week I went back to work as they were short handed. The hours aren't bad but it has certainly thrown off my schedule. Country Girl is still working long hours but hopefully that will change soon.
