Spring Tea

Two weeks ago, the ladies club at St. Thomas hosted the 11th annual Ladies Spring Tea.

I offered to host two tables........I wasn't sure what my theme would be, but I knew I wanted the tables to have a theme that went together.

You know......

peanut butter and jelly, ice cream and cake, salt and pepper

I decided on......a little drum roll please......

Sweet and Sour!




As a hostess you are asked to provide the table decorations, the place settings, tea cups, and favors if you want.

The centerpiece goes home with one of the ladies at your table.


I made sugar hand scrub for each table....the sweet table had grapefruit fragrance added to it...not really sweet, but the color worked and the sour table had lemon scrub.


I created a mini candy bar for each table....pink and white candy for the sweet table, and yellow and white for the sour table.



My two favorite tea pots at the event



And my favorite table at tea this year.....a centerpiece with a wonderful pot full of herb plants....embellished with gnomes and lady bugs.


Love the bright colors!!


Hosting a table for the St. Thomas luncheon is one of my favorite things to do!

    Oh my gosh, Chris! I want to sit at all of these beautiful tables and just stare at everything! Well...I'd like to eat the candy and drink some tea too! I can't believe you made sugar scrub for everyone.
