Bella Grace: The Offical Mad Tea Party & Giveaway

Ha, well, things again took a change of course for me, but, as usual, I managed to find a way to work with it. Yesterday, Hubby called from work and asked if I would like to go out to eat with a friend of his and his wife. Well, I don't know what gal is going to pass up an opportunity to have someones else cook dinner for her and her family, LOL!! So, of course, I said "Yes". So, off we went to Destin and Outback. But never fear, I always have a back up plan (and for future reference, if there is to be a party on such-n-such day, have the party a few days BEFORE the date and post the pictures of the party on the appointed day, Duh!!) My Mad Tea has now become a Breakfast/Brunch Tea.

None of it fancy, but all of it good...

I made some pigs in a blanket...

enjoyed by all...

some local wildflowers that stopped by...

Orange Breakfast Rolls...

Blueberry Lemon Soda (YUM!!) and Sunny D for my hunny :0) ...(like my cool Moroccan glasses I snagged at a yard sale?)

a nice breezy morning...

to take a nap.

Thank you for stopping by our party. I do have a little goody basket that I will be giving to one lucky person that leaves me a comment on this post. Some Strawberry-Boysenberry Tea, a bottle of the Blueberry Lemon soda, a Lemon Chiffon handpoured candle and a few pieces of vintage crockery. (I'll add a picture later, after nap time :0) A fun Summer-Time treat, from our house to you!!

Robin said...: I'm so sorry to be so late.....so many tea parties to attend. Along the way I fell down the rabbit hole and somehow got lost at the bend. But if I may, I would love a cup of tea. All that running around has left me so very thirsty.
Gee those cakes and piggies in blankets look tasty. You don't suppose I might have one of those as well? Thank you.....
My it all looks so lovely.

Well, it has been splendid but I must be going. I have many more tea parties to go to still.

May the day ahead be a beautiful one for you.; 12:11 AM, June 29, 2009

Chickenbells said...: Oh...what a sweet party! I am loving the Moroccan glasses, and they made the party so much more festive. Also cinnamon rolls? I NEVER let myself eat any because I'm terrified I will then become instantly addicted...but, perhaps I shall have one of yours...

I also wanted to thank you for your sweet comment about our Mad Tea Party...you were also my 100th commenter and if you would contact me, I would love to send something that I think may belong in your world (chickenbells@richcharpentier.com); 10:54 AM, June 29, 2009
