Morning Tea

On this past crisp, fall like Saturday morning, my daughter and I had the pleasure of hosting a Morning Tea with my sister-in-law and niece.  I decided we would eat in the foyer for a bit of the unexpected! I snipped some greenery from a very old shrub we have out front and placed them at each setting. I used my French Inspired Clothespins (from my Etsy Shoppe) to hold each piece of greenery in place on white linen napkins. These Clothespins were given as favors along with tiny linen lavender sachets that I sewed up with gray linen and filled with lavender from my garden. I used my Coffee Stained Nest Tags for place cards and propped them up with miniature glass salt shakers. From each chair I hung vintage music papered cones I had made along with more greenery. Attached to each cone was a glittered chalkboard tag. I wrote a different word at each place setting...ex. Joy, Laugh, Sing. I used my favorite mugs that I purchased from AI ROOT Candle Company in Medina, Ohio (a bit of a splurge!) that say "City Bakery" on them! The brown striped embroidered linen napkin was also purchased at AI ROOT and is from DWELL Studios. Our menu (which I had written on one of my favorite chalkboards) included Earl Gray tea, homemade lemonade, fresh fruit, chocolate muffins, and ham and cheese crescent rolls.
We had a delightful time!

My sweet seven year old daughter Abigail said the table looked like it belonged in a magazine! That made my day!

I hope you are enjoying this long weekend!
I also want to give a big HUG and a big THANK YOU to all of the wonderful gals who take time to visit me and leave sweet comments! I look forward to the current and future friendships that are developing!
