Tea Anyone?

Yesterday my friend Katelyn invited me to go to a tea party.(I had no idea what was coming!) I've been to a tea place once before with Taron's family but this was nothing like the one before! The other one I went to was more of a small restaurant which was set up all fun and fancy for tea. This place I went to yesterday wasn't a small restaurant but instead a lady's house who decided to host tea parties for a living. Just walking through her front gate brought you into a new world. Her yard was a beautiful green over grown garden with stone pathways and grape vines draped over arches. She lived in this old Victorian/vintage house filled with old nic-nacs, drapes, vintage wall paper and lace. She had a million of fun big hats and was happy to dress us up for tea! We were informed of proper etiquette and the proper way for a lady to lay one's gloves on the table and the different meaning for placing ones gloves a certain way. She served us with a few delicious courses of fancy tea foods like scones....her cooking was YYYUUUUUMMMY! Along with tea she served us this lavender lemonade which, hands down, was the best lemonade I have ever had! No other lemonade will ever compare. The lady, I think her name was Tawnya, went above and beyond in trying to create a special atmosphere to come and relax and rejuvenate. She was sweet and full of life and helped me remember how magical life can be. =)
