I hope you enjoy the photos of
the room. I am not sharing photos
of the children for privacy reasons
but will tell you this table was
where girls sat who came here
from Rwanda and several were
born in a refugee camp. They
were totally awestruck!

How sweet of you to let them use your tearoom! I bet they were thrilled with every thing!

ReplyDeleteI have been severely absent the last few months - but oh my word, dear Bernideen, this is one of the neatest posts ever. You are one very special lady to open your home/ awesome tea room to such special guests.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you. And my word I love your tea room! It - like you - is just awesome!!!!!

It all looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've been able to do something similar in the past. What is on the slices of bread with a strawberry? Is it sweetened cream cheese?
ReplyDeleteOh Bernideen, what a delight it was to see your home used as a special tea party! I do believe this is your calling in life...to share your love of tea, and your pretty things with others. Love this!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty! I'm sure that the mothers and daughters greatly appreciated your generous hospitality.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience for everyone. Love how pretty your room looks with the smaller tables set-up. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet event and how nice that you could hold it in your tea room! Each table looked just right. Now I'm hungry!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea you made possible for those ladies and girls by allowing them to borrow your tea room! The tables, the china, and the food all looked wonderful. That little miss in the last photo looked like she was having fun. What a wonderful ministry, Bernideen!
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to see your tearoom in action and so many young people enjoying old-world traditions...How kind of you to share your space with the church and those Rwanda children. ...
