Katie sipping lemonade from uncle Dave’s hand made tea set.

I am glad to see the tea set being enjoyed. Hey is that one of my Kitty platters holding the cheese and crackers?

Katie and her friend Caroline having a Tea Party.

When I was young, my mom would serve us Tea from a miniature Tea set my dad had bought while over seas. Here, my niece (Katie) and her friend (Caroline) are enjoying lemonade on a hot summer day with the tea set I made just for her. I remember how special we felt when the little tea set would come out and we all ( I have nine brothers and sisters) sat around and sipped tea or hot coco. It is nice to see that tradition being passed on.
