A perfect proper English tea...and some sweet gifts...

 My granddaughters were all here this Summer and gathered in the gazebo for a
tea and conversation.



There was quite a lot of tea drinking going on...
(actually orange mango fruit juice)



there was a lot of good conversation...(in an English accent only)...




a lot of bare toes
and dressed in grandma's best old clothes...



Plenty of cakes and sherbet...









There was a lot of sipping...












(look at that proper pinkie placement below)

a lot of eating...



















 a lot of smiles...









and lots of laughing...









a little helping...




a lot of reaching across the table






some finger licking









 and a lot of spoon licking as well...










Okay...so maybe it wasn't all that proper after all...
but it was perfect in every way...










and in the end...a wonderful, wonderful day!


The End

***

I have won another lovely giveaway that I would like to share.

I won this set of beautiful napkins from Wanda at Victorian 1885


Wanda lives in Canada and her beautiful blog is a true delight.
I know that if you haven't already met Wanda, you will so enjoy a trip to her blog.





She tucked these beautiful handkerchiefs inside the package as a surprise with 
a lovely card and rose bookmark just for me. 
Thank you so much Wanda, for the lovely win!!! 





The other day, when I went to get my mail at the Post Office, I was surprised by another
gift from a dear blogging friend.
 M at the OC Cottage sent me a just because gift...two issues of 'Ceremony',
the beautiful wedding event magazine.
She knew I would love the flowers and the arrangements
in these amazing publications.

And I have.

Along with this wonderful gesture, was one of her lovely cards and a pink glittered starfish!
 I have three of her beautiful starfish from a giveaway I won awhile ago...
But...
I didn't have a pink one.
But...
now I do!!!


Thank you so much dearest M, for such a lovely thought
and a lovely gift to brighten my days.



Speaking of gifts...

this is what the girls (my cute little hens)
are giving me these days!!!



Landon got the first omelet!


Thank you to all of you who stop by and visit me here. I love it when you come
by and see what I have been up to here in my little corner of the world.
I wish you all a lovely week and will see you all soon!

  17. such cuties!! your sweet tea party....and I'm sorry: but what happened with this tradition? why does it stop when you are suddenly 13? I should have been taken more seriously!! I would L.O.V.E. to stop in the middle of the day for tea, cakes, and conversation!

    maybe I need to start my own tea party - and I don't mean politics!

    Thank you for sharing these delightful and charming photos of your grandchildren 'taking tea'. I can just imagine the English accents!

  66. Deareat June! Oh how glad I am that you enjoyed my orange and white show! And again, this post of yours is absolutely breathtaking. To think that you put all this together....these darling little women will never forget this. Gosh, they are so cute. I am getting back to my classroom soon and will have my own room of 16 darlings, 16 girls this time and only 10 boys. Last year, it was the other way around and WOW was it wild! HHEEEEE, but I love those little men....but this year, it's GIRL POWER! So, I will have to even it out for the little guys to have equal voice and space!!!

    Dearest, as I see your post, I am impressed with the wide-screen appearance it has. You use blogger as I do, but my photos seem to all be squished in a narrow column...what is your trick? Let me know when you have a moment. Merci! Have a lovely Saturday dearest...Anita

Thank you for your words as well about my husband; he is a true gem and after 28 years of marriage, we still find so much enchantment in the world and in each other....AND...I see now what you are saying about the format that you chose, AND you are right; I don't think it is possible to install that feature now that the old templates we are still using are no longer available. Thank you June for answering my question. Your blog is so lovely to look at as well as to read!

    There were 3 photos that were so beautiful that I have to comment. The little girl in the pink dress with the deep pink ribbon at the waist. She is holding a tea cup in front of her face. Her little hands still have the dimples in the knuckle. I love it.
    Then the little girl with the pretty hair clip, laughing with her hand covering her face and the half painted nails. Oh my! Such a precious moment in time to capture! And lastly, the baby on the blanket. The sunlight and shadows on her face. Wow.
    Thank you for making my Sunday coffee time a tea time with your family.

  84. G'morn, sweet June ~ The girls are as obviously beautiful as their Grandmother! How adorable they are dressed in the elegant vintage pieces ... & that beautiful table covering, deeLISH cupcakes & elegant setting. Now what little lady wouldn't want to sit in that exquisite gazebo, on a serene summer day, sipping away at tea ...

    How precious ... they radiate!, just like you.

    Thank you for your visit, I've missed you so ...

    Ashley is our Joshua's soon-to-be ... we just adore her. I love the freckles across her cheeks & nose ... they just lost our first great-kid-ling.

    We have been smacked against a wall working on the new house ... I gave myself 2 weeks to turn it around & 7 days if at all possible ... I did it in 5 days, YAHOODY!!!, & to boot rented it out in 5 days also. I am so excited & love doing this. Need a bit of a rest tho before I tackle another.

    Have a lovely summer day ~

    I love the very last shot of the littlest one wrapped in a summer quilt, napping on the grass. Sigh. Will I ever get to be a grandma?
    And your BEE-U-TEA-FULL EGGS! My stars! Love the colors. Tell the Girls they are doing a magnificent job!
    And what a fun win. And extra special packages. A pink starfish - I just might have to find me one of those!

  103. June, This is the first time I have commented on your blog. My daughter is Kelli (My Lovely Life) and she told me how beautiful it is! She is so right...your pictures are absolutely beautiful! Kelli's 2 girls and my son's 6 girls all live away but every time we get together we make special memories...like your tea party with your granddaughters. They are so lovely and such a special day! They will remember this always! Your gardens are amazing...all the work shws in their beauty! I so enjoyed visiting your blog and plan to return again. Thank you!

  106. Oh my goodness - what a wonderful post and what a beautiful blog! I'm SO glad that I stumbled upon it - quite breathtaking pictures, and if it wasn't quite so rainy and dull here in actual England, I would be very tempted to have a proper tea party myself! x

  107. IF there is a contest...that counts the number of comments per post on a blog...you would have to win it hands down. I have NEVER seen so many comments on any one blog yet.

    IT's because you go straight to our hearts..and use your camera is the most impressive way.

  111. June, What a most lovely post. To me that would have the most perfect day also. It is so nice to see young ladies still dressing up and drinking tea (wink wink), and eating the delights of the day. Not many do this any more. It also brings to mind wonderful memories of when I was a little girl.
    Smiling ear tot ear,

  118. Gifts, indeed....
    and they are all
    soooo precious!
    Taking tea is one
    of my most favorite
    things to do and
    I hope that I will
    have granddaughters
    someday who will
    enjoy it as much
    as I do! My daughter
    humors me, but I'm
    not sure she's into
    it as much as I am : )
    Great pictures, June!
