I took no photos last night - it honestly didn't even cross my mind...
I host a tea every year for my fellow home educating moms...last even about 10 came. It is always a lovely time of sharing and relaxing, getting to know someone new, catching up with someone you haven't seen for months.
We sometimes have 30 ladies and other times only 5 have come...it doesn't matter. Whoever comes needed to be there and it is always thoroughly enjoyed.
Spicy Holiday Tea, a variety of herbal and black teas, sweet scones, jam, mock Devonshire cream, lemon curd all homemade, with some mini quiches from Costco, and some purchased mini eclairs.
I love how the ladies feel so pampered eating off of glass luncheon plates with real china tea cups!
Soft candles burning, Autumn decor all around. Everything comfortable, casual, just right.
I am looking forward to next year.

What a sweet thought! So many would be discouraged, or even angry/bitter with a low turnout and feel that all of the preparation wasn't worth it for just a few ladies. I believe that you have the right attitude.
It sounds like a lovely time of fellowship, and I'm quite sure that each woman in attendance was blessed to be there.
It was great! After a very busy day to slow down and get to chat...wonderful!

Oh, I bet it was so nice...I do so wish I lived closer to you and Becky. Sigh...
Love your centerpiece!
Glad you had a lovely evening.
The centerpiece looks so pretty!
I host a similar thing each year. It is such a blessing to do something nice for those hard working mommas.
I also loved reading the post before this. Those pictures of Grandpa with his 3 month old granddaughter are melting my heart. Lisa~
