Spring Tea Parties!
I've shared before that I am part of a small group of women with whom we rotate monthly tea parties with. Recently, Ann hosted a Mother's Day tea at her home and there was never a more generous out door feast to honor Mother's than Ann set out that day. To call it a picnic would make it seem trivial!
This tables' theme was A DAY IN PARIS!

This tables' theme was CHINESE NEW YEAR!

And finally.... my tables' theme was LEMONS AND LIMES!
This was actually very subdued to what I usually do at home with big themes and big displays and decorations but we are on budget lock down and this theme only cost me $5.00. The candy for my favors is what cost the most. (tee hee)
My party favor was filled with Lemon Heads candy and my recipe to make a glass of lemonade. You know when you've got just one lemon and you don't know what to do with it? Well make lemonade! I was asked what to make with a lime and I said very quietly... a cocktail! ha ha

Lovely tea tavles! Yours is very refreshing - the salad looks DELICIOUS!
Janeen, I love your table! The way you decorated it was beautiful and inviting. I also liked the Paris table and the M&Ms one (that one would be great for a kids' party for sure).
You mentioned gentlemen's teas and I have to share a story. My best girlfriend is from England and when she lived in my neighborhood here in the US (she's now in Spain), her husband and his work buddies, also Englishmen, would sometimes go to a local tearoom for a cream tea. They would sit there and have tea and scones and clotted cream during their lunch break and they thought nothing of it. My husband (American) has come to tea with me before and even our little boy too, but I can't picture him meeting his buddies for lunch at a tearoom! I always thought it was wonderful that my friend's husband and his friends used to do it though, and they were not uncomfortable in any way to be in what's usually thought of as a "girly" place.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures Janeen. It's the closest thing to being there! :)
Thank you Voice of Melody! Ya know my Man enjoys going to tea too! When I first took him to a local tea room, he wasn't so sure because it was VERY LADY-LIKE but after two hours of relaxing and slowing eating and enjoying tiers of goodies and pots of tea he said he now understood why us ladies enjoyed it so much. ha ha
Hi Janeen! I like your table best too! You're very creative. Gosh, all the ladies were creative too. Excellent post. :o)
(PS: Good comment about HBO, that's the way we think of it too ... giggle).
CYA! Have a great weekend.
I absolutely love teas like this! Thanks so much for your precious note on my blog. :))
What a fun idea! I wish I had a monthly group like that! All the tables were really nice! Fun, fun!
You always have the prettiest tea party photos. Wish I lived near you so I could go! It looks like so much fun! :)
