What is it about a tea party with family and friends that charms our hearts?
Ladies please join me as you take a break from your busy schedule for a few minutes, brew yourself a cup of tea, and settle into a comfortable chair.
Let's imagine that we are all gathered in a spring garden of fragrant roses and lilacs, seated around lovely tables draped in antique lace.
Even if you are not a Mother, this tea party is still for you, since everyone has had a Mother.
Delight in delicate Limoge teacups, silverware tucked inside pretty lace gloves, tied with a pink silk ribbon. Vases of fresh cut fragrant spring flowers brighten the center of the tables.
Come, help yourself, china and silver servers are piled high with fresh baked scones slathered in honey-butter, slices of pound cake drizzled with chocolate, assorted warm, chewy cookies, chocolate covered dipped strawberries, and dainty tea sandwiches.
Allow me to pour your tea, there's spiced Chai, double Bergamot Earl Grey, Raspberry Hibiscus and Darjeeling. The aroma of the teas fills the air with a sweet and spicy fragrance.
The amber liquid flowing into the delicate teacups reminds us that it is time to savor this moment where family and friends are gathered, honoring Mother's Day.
I'd like to share this original poem with you that would be appropriate for all mothers on Mother's Day, written by my oldest daughter.
A VERY SPECIAL TEAPOT My Mother is a teapot She's filled right to the brim With happiness and laughter She always wears a grin
Her love is like sandy sugar Because it is so sweet Her kindness is a cup of milk In pureness she has you beat
She's always doing for others Rarely taking breaks She tries to make everyone happy She'd rather give than take
To me, dearest Mother You are the absolute best In my heart I'll always hold you Higher than the rest

Dear friends you have my permission to print out this page. Pick a pretty card stock in your favorite color. Once printed, cut out this poem with fancy scalloped edge scissors. Leave room at the top to punch a hole. Put a thin piece of ribbon through the hole and tie a knot. Now you have a remembrance bookmark from our garden tea party.
I wish all of the precious Moms reading this a delightful Mother's Day!!
