~BEAUTIFUL TALENTED TAMMY~
On Saturday I joined some of my sweet blogger friends
for an absolutely precious
Springtime Tea.
~TAMMY'S LOVELY HOME~
The Tea was hosted by Tammy from
at her delightfully sweet home
here in Oklahoma.
~BEAUTIFUL GINGER~
Both Tammy's Mother, Miss Ginger from
and her lovely Grandmother,
Miss Mary,
Miss Mary,
were in attendance.
~GINGER'S BEAUTIFUL MOTHER~
I was so honored to be invited!!!
~MY SPECIAL PLATE~
When I arrived at Tammy's address I
walked into the most charming
cottage I've ever seen!
Magazine worthy!!!
Tammy's entire home was beautifully
decorated with a a darling Easter-time theme.
The weather was perfect and the
sun was shinning bright!
We couldn't have asked for a
lovelier day!
~PRECIOUS TABLESCAPE~
And the food! Well...I was too busy eating it
to take any pictures! Spinach Salad with
fresh strawberries, walnuts and raspberry
vinagrette dressing! We lunched on Chicken
Croissant Sandwiches and sipped on tea and
sweet lemonade.
~TAMMY'S FIREPLACE~
Not only was the food scrumptious but
the favors took my breath away!
There were precious cupcakes and sweet
treats made from Marshmallows dipped into
white chocolate. I couldn't believe it!
Tammy was such a
gracious hostess and her talent is
like nothing I've ever seen. I've been to many
parties, showers and teas in my lifetime, but
never have I seen everything so
beautifully appointed or so
lovingly prepared.
I'm still speechless!
(And I am NEVER Speechless!)
~HANDMADE BAGS~
Tammy's gifted ways, no doubt in part, come to her
by way of her mother, Miss Ginger! Ginger
helped make the most precious little bags
filled with tea and candy and all
sorts of take-home treasures.
~HANDMADE BOXES~
She even sent me something home for my
sweet Miss K.
~PRECIOUS FRIENDS~
Aside from the wonderful food and fellowship
Tammy shared a lovely little devotional
that truly made my heart sing!
I love to hear about the love my
friends have for our loving Father
and His precious Son.
"Dear Tammy...
Thank you for including me in your
very special day. I want you to know
how much I loved spending the afternoon
with you, your mother and grandmother
and will remember always your grace
and beautiful hospitality. God has
blessed you with the spirit of giving
and again I was honored to be so
welcomed in your home.
Thank you for sharing your
hopes for the future with me!
I'm excited to see how God works out
all the details and for those
dreams of yours to take flight!
I can't wait to watch you soar!
All those special things that God
has placed within your heart will
one day come true!
In His time.
In His time.
He makes all things beautiful
In His time.
I love you, friend. xoxoR"

ohhh how lovely ... everything was just perfect and the decorations so simple and elegant ...
and goodies to take home too wonderful :)
glad you had a great time :) love mouse xxxx
Rebecca- Well, I can see two new blogs to follow in my near future (like today). What a wonderful blessing to be able to share such a special afternoon. Her home and her family are just lovely. Isn't it heart-warming to walk into someone's home and know how much they love it, how much they love their family, and how glad they are to have you as part of it all? I can't imagine anyone NOT wanting to spend an afternoon there-or with you, for that matter!
I'll be back to check your shop out- although I haven't been buying anything anywhere I want to stop by with my well-wishes! xo Diana
Rebecca...what a lovely tea party! Everything looked delightful! How fun to share a special time with sisters in the faith! (You were in your element)
And you ladies looked beautiful too!

Rebecca, thank you for sharing about your lovely teatime afternoon with some very special friends. As I read your post, and viewed all of Tammy's beautiful creations, for a moment I felt immersed into that special time with you. There is nothing more special than the gift of treasured times with dear friends.
Blessings for you today!
Hi Rebecca!
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to post a comment on your blog. I have been working diligently on a strategic plan that is due on Saturday and I just now came up for air. I hope you know how very honored I was to have you accept my invitation to this tea. When I joined the blog world a few years ago you were one of the first that befriended me and I have been such an admirer of your work, your talent, and your beautiful heart ever since. I want you to know how truly special you are to me and to this world. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are not a gift, because you truly are! Thank you so much for your beautiful, sweet words of inspiration and encouragement. They mean so much to me and they fed my weary soul. I wish for you peace, prosperity, and abuntant blessings as you go forward in your endeavours and I hope you will return to my home this summer for a "tea by the sea" where we will celebrate the sun, sand, and sea (that we don't have in Oklahoma) . . . but a girl can dream, can't she?
