Happy 2nd Birthday to Tea Time Tuesday with Sandi at the Rose Chintz Cottage

I'm caught by the TEA BUG - and am joining Sandi over at the Rose Chintz Cottage today to celebrate her  2nd Birthday with Tea Time Tuesday's Tea Parties!

Please gently glide over to her place by clicking on the Rose Chintz Cottage link above to visit all the other Tea Parties today.

I'm going to share the following Tea Party that is hosted for a group of young ladies that I'm blessed by, my neighbor girls!

Also, you'll get to meet my little Princess Mignon Abbie, my little Sheltie Princess.  She loves joining in on the Tea Parties with the girls.

For years now, wherever I've lived, I've opened my home up for my little neighbor girls, no matter how young or old.  One as young as 3 when she began coming over for weekly tea.  

Even though they probably feel they are the ones that are getting something out of it; I gain so much more from them.

Without further adieu~ and no further narration needed, 

Welcome to my Tea Party

Merci...

Have a "Tealightful" day!
