My Bible Study group from last year came over.
We had a CharcuTEArie party and everyone signed up to bring something. People love to feel part of something by participating. We had mixed nuts, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, assortment of crackers, pickles, olives, cheese, salami wrapped around cheese, chocolates, and I made Blueberry Scones with Mock Devonshire Cream.
Making it easy for cleanup, teacups that are dishwasher safe, were chosen. It's too hot in Texas for hot tea, but iced tea was so refreshing. Using the pretty teacups for our food was perfect.
I didn't get a picture of the food display, but this was the table where we arranged everything.
We all sat in my dining room table, and I used paper plates for the scones and pretty paper napkins, and plastic cups for our iced tea, to continue with ease in cleanup. The flavors of iced tea were: Blackberry & Raspberry, Strawberry Rose, and Black Current.
For pretty ideas for a charcuTEArie party, check out Mary's post at Home Is Where The Boat Is.
Here are all the lovely ladies ready to enjoy our teacups filled with treats.

I took my freshmen college-bound granddaughter, Avery, out shopping for school supplies.
Soon-to-be a freshmen in high school, granddaughter, Ella, made the A Volleyball team at the largest high school in Texas, with almost 7,000 students!!
Thank you for your visit! xo
I'm sharing with these parties:
That looks like a lovely tea! I can't imagine 7000 students in a school; I think our local high schools have close to 1,000.... but not quite. Pretty much anyone that wants to play a sport gets to play but that is quite an accomplishment for your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful group of ladies for charcuTEArie! Wow, Ella is a star! Yet another family milestone and achievement, you are blessed, Kitty!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your charcuTEArie party--from the beautiful teacups to the yummy foods.
ReplyDeleteI also liked how you mixed paper plates, cups, and napkins for ease of cleanup. There are some really pretty paper products out there.
P.S. Love the chalkboard-style " It's always tea time!"
DeleteWhat a great idea for your party and everyone looks like they had a good time. Your granddaughters are beautiful and getting so big. Good luck to both of them. I hope you have a nice week Kitty.
ReplyDeleteThe party is lovely. I love the group photo.

Kitty, What a perfect way to entertain your Bible Study Group! Having everyone bring a charcuTEArie item makes it so much easier on the hostess, aka, you. 😊 Love your pretty group of teacups waiting to be filled, along with your lovely attendees! It’s too hot for hot tea and turning on the oven, so kudos to you for making scones! Love your pretty embroidered table square with teacups. Congratulations to Ella, what an accomplishment with that many students…7000, wow, everything IS bigger in Texas! Hope you’re managing to stay cool and wishing you a wonderful week ahead! ♥
ReplyDeleteWell that looks like a lovely way to spend an afternoon and iced tea in tea cups sounds like a perfect!! What a tasty summertime treat. Congrats to your granddaughter, too, wow, 7000 kids in one school. The competition must be fierce, especially for an incoming freshman. Way to go Ella!!
