A couple weeks ago I got a phone call from a friend, she invited me to a Friendship tea at her home today. Jane and I worked together and have been friends since 1992, but now that I live about 40 minutes away we don't see each other as often as we would like.
She invited a few of her other friends also, I had already met a couple of them before. It's always nice to make new friends.
Jane has a lovely home and it was decorated pretty with lots of tea pots and tea cup, along with other Valentine items also.
Her living room was pretty and inviting as always.
Down the hall was her first guest bedroom, dressed and looking like a B&B.
Wouldn't you love to spend the night in this room.
She has always wanted to open a B&B.
In her Den she had a Valentine tree with hearts for a centerpiece on her smaller table. The little boxes around it was treats for her guest to take home.
She had asked me to come early before the others so we could catch up on 'girl talk'.
I took a few photo's before the others arrived and she hadn't yet finished getting ready.
Enclosed in a cabinet was a Valentine card from a friend.
I took her a card and Tulips along with a box of goodies, which I forgot to take a photo of.
She loves these wire cage thingy's, I really don't know what they are called, but they are pretty.
The food was delicious!
There was so much to eat.
Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Chips
Dill Pickles
Veggie Plate with Dip
Cream Cheese and pineapple heart shaped sandwiches.
Miniature cinnamon rolls.
Chocolate covered Oreo bites.
Banana Nut Bread
All kinds of sweets!
I didn't get photo's of everything, since the other guest arrived and everyone was talking and having a good time. One of the ladies wanted to learn how to 'skip', so there was a few minutes that we all was remembering our childhood, as Jane taught her how to skip.
Time went by so fast and I was a little later getting home than what I told my hubby I would be. I did bring him a plate of food home so he was happy!
Have a Great Valentine Week!

What a delightful day, Sylvia! Her home is indeed lovely - and this tea party was just the perfect thing!
The food and table - wonderful! Your tulips were a good choice as a hostess gift, because they're plantable and will come up again next year if the deer don't eat them to death first.
So - what was your favor? What was in the box? Inquiring minds wish to know, haha!
Have a wonderful week full of love! ♥♥♥
