This was tea yesterday, at a friend's place...nothing fancy but definitely something I cherish. She took the trouble to prepare all these and invited us over to hang out. Yup! Adults need to hang out sometimes too. These are some of the fond memories with friends that I will always appreciate. So what do ladies do when they gather for tea? First, they eat of course!
Next, they yak and yak. 8) How to run from this? Everyone has a story, joke, personal stuff to share. And to top it, this is not just the time to feel young at heart but also to act young. 8)
And, also to share stuff made. This lovely
etui box was made by Lee Fun. It's a really lovely piece of handicraft, very quaint.
When you lift the top off, the pentagon opens up and you can put all your neat sewing stuff on each side. Her take from
here.
And what else we did...share our latest buy from our shopping excursions. This round it's batik talk.
Then, there are the serial buffs who cannot miss their shows. So, as the tv show ran, there were also running commentaries.... What about? Oh, the show, the addiction to such shows, our silliness of going back to it repeatedly even though we know it's a waste of time, of the bond that is built watching it together with our loved ones....the list goes on. So who says watching the serials doesn't have its positive side? 8)
And finally, we talked about the plates and cups... found out probably 3 generations of people have dined using this set. It came from England, passed down from father to daughter. They've got these exquisite prints on them. Beautiful!
Turned it around and found this label behind. Did a search and found that
Grindley is still around...
So who says tea time can be boring??? I gained so much in one afternoon. Add that to good company....one word sums it all - MEMORABLE!
