my mom recently took my sister and my 6-year old niece to high tea.
i loved seeing the photos of that sweet little girl in her lovely pink hat and lacy gloves. sometimes it’s just fun to be girly… i can’t wait to take my little goose to her first fancy tea. hopefully these other three will be there too!
i may, however, be bringing my own scones…
i have always adored a good scone, and nothing is more perfect than strawberries & cream!
