Time for tea...wear your hat!

These are pictures of my oldest granddaughter

Allysha Lynn

when she went to a tea earlier this summer.

{11 years old}

Isn't she just adorable in her vintage hat? If memory serves me correctly, she found

it at a resale shop and loved it.

I think I may have a teesny chance with

this granddaughter loving vintage items like me.

I hope so...keeping my fingers crossed...

oh okay, I am really, really

wishing on a star! *smile*

I thought I would share a favorite tea time

sandwich that I have used a lot over the

years and it gets rave reviews.

Cream Cheese, Celery and Walnut Sandwiches

1/4 lb cream cheese, room temperature 1/4 celery heart, very finely chopped

1/4 cup diced walnuts

White or whole wheat bread

Parsley sprigs {for garnish}

In a small bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Mix in celery and walnuts. Make sandwiches with

cheese mixture. Trim off crusts of bread and

cut sandwiches into rectangles or triangles.

Garnish plate with sprigs of parsley.

{I also make these open faced on small bread squares

like the *party rye*, but I use sourdough I think }

It is rather warm here again today and supposed to be

warmer tomorrow. I did get to town and purchased

some paint so hopefully I can start painting my

pantry area soon. Have wanted to do that for quite

some time now. What are you doing this week?

***********************************************

We have a wedding anniversary this week...our 33rd.

I can't believe it. Where have the years gone?

We have most certainly have had

our ups and downs and spats just like anyone else,

but God is good and He has been so good to us.

Wouldn't trade my man for the moon! :)

My oldest son also has a 7th wedding anniversary

today. He posted this on facebook...I thought

it was cute:

*‎7 years ago today, I married the woman of dreams...

woke up this morning and, to my delight, she was still there!*

He makes me laugh, makes me proud and is a delightful son.

I wish them many more wonderful years together!!

Blessings~
