Hi Marcia. Oh boy, were you missed. You are so loved.

 

(Guess who) knocked herself out on this most lovely Halloween Witchy Tea.
She requested we all wear witch hats and what a display!!

 

 

We had pumpkin chips and pumpkin cream cheese dip with bubbly in the living room to begin.

 

 

Ā presenting her gifts to usā€¦I sent you a photo of the top of the piano.

 

 

In clear bulbs she put candy and a spider, plus a wrapped surprise and a jalapeƱo and pomegranate jam.

 

 

Proceeding to the dining room to find our places we found our place settings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and all the lovely Halloween displays nearby.

 

MENU

 

Scones with whipped cream and 2 jams, pomegranate and raspberry jams

 

 

 

Beautiful homemade quiche, delicate salad and huge strawberries dipped in chocolate
Iced pumpkin cake, lemon squares, brownie squares

 

 

All served with the most delicious specialty teas and sparkling drinks.

🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃🍁🎃

 

We experienced a real deepening of affection and concern for each other in this group this time.
Lots of laughing and funny stories.

 

 

We were Ā entertained with long ago teaching stories.🎃
Caught up on family members. ā˜•ļøEveryone is so busyā€¦how did we ever have time to teach school???

    Happy Halloween sweetest friend….

    What a lovely Halloween Witchy Tea you attended…. Oh, too fun and such attention to detail! Loved everything about it…. From all the yummies and their presentation to the prizes you were so fortunate to receive to all the costumes all of you wore, you all looked fabulous…. The decorations were amazing… what a perfect and beautiful setting to enjoy such an event!! What fun to be able to share in this with you, I almost felt as if I were there too… Thank you so much for posting this!!! Hope you have a lovely scary treat filled Halloween day as you continue with your adventures… I am having such a fun time following you and Cami as you share it with us…. We are going out to dinner tonight with my dear friend… We are celebrating my birthday early since I will be gone for it… Here in Emerald Bay the children go down to the park and have a Halloween event so I don’t get many trick or treaters… so I don’t feel bad that I am not home to give out candy… I leave next Tuesday afternoon so I have one more week… I am running around like a crazy woman…. so behind…. XOXO Jane

    Hi Jane!
    I bet you are getting so excited my sweet friend!!! Iā€™m excited for you I felt like I attended this tea too. ( This was a group of friends who I taught with years ago. They have these gatherings every few months. The one I hosted before moving to the oregon coast was The Mad Hatters Tea Party. It was great fun. I hope you had a great birthday dinner with your friend. Sounds like you have a wonderful month ahead of you. Iā€™ll be returning as you are preparing to leave. I bet you are a great packer. Sometimes I am…this trip not so great. I definitely packed more than I needed. ( what was I thinking?) bahaha! I hope you are feeling all well again! Take care my sweet friend.XO

    What a delightful sharing of a most incredible Halloween Tea Party! Classy all the way… Today our rains start here in the valley but I am in my sewing studio happily sewing on a new project. Must keep the creative brain cells stimulated! Do tell about your holiday get-away… ;0)

    Hi Jenny!
    Itā€™s wonderful to hear from you. Iā€™ve missed you. Iā€™m grateful that my California friendā€™s send photos of their tea parties. It makes me feel like Iā€™m there enjoying it too. I enjoyed this one since I was away for Halloween and didnā€™t put up decorations.
    How nice to have a sewing studio. Sometimes I think about purchasing a sewing machine… I could create a space in the loft. I could also create a space in the folly. Perhaps one day. What are you making? Do you have a quilting machine too? The rainy days ahead are the perfect backdrop for marathon sewing projects. Have fun my friend.
