Tea party, Alice?
One sip makes you larger. One sip makes you strong. To whet our tea drinking appetites, we sipped peach oolong.
Green Jasmine was the main course with red marzipan for dessert.
The poetry of Mary Oliver, Irish priest John O’Donohue, and 13th century Japanese monk Ikkyu was also on the menu.
Lighted candles. Sweet wishes. Savory cheese and cherries. Carrot cake and berry scones from Jayn’s and Katherine’s oven. Along with conversation, laughter, and even a few tears, poured.

That sounds like MY kind of tea party! I don’t know which is better—the carrot cake, the poetry of Mary Oliver, or those absolutely gorgeous butterfly tea cups and saucers. Or perhaps the company? 🙂

Looks like a wonderful time. I am benefiting from your tea even as I read!

looks like a lovely setting for any conversation. been tempted to get a teapot like the one in the 1st and 3rd pics but for my once cup of microwaved tea a month, it hardly seems worthwhile.
