My girlfriends and I love the dignified indulgence of a tea party.
(This is my grandma Mary's tea service, and her lilac dessert plates and coffee cups.)
(The napkins belonged to my grandma Maude, and the blue cream and sugar, barely visible in the upper right, belonged to Mary.)
But, as is often the case in life, the simplest celebrations are the most fulfilling.
Cheers!
