Home Furniture: THE SKIES HAVE OPENED + TEA PARTY+ GIVE-AWAY

Today the skies have opened!

Just when my little ones where coming out of school... so they all got home drenched!
And we had a loud thunderstorm too!
(Which to be honest, I`m not very keen of...)
So I`m afraid I haven`t been able to take photos of our new garden archway.

Although what I have to show you is a lovely tea party
And guess what? You are invited too!
The more friends will come the merrier!
...
Oh! How happy I am to have you join me...
-Please, come in!
It`s nice and cozy here!
Thanks for accepting my invitation for this afternoon TEA PARTY!
-I`m so glad that you didn`t get wet!

Please do take a seat.

Please let me introduce you to my Daniel and Jodie-Lee!
These are my two cheeky helpers for this afternoon...

I first intended to host this tea party in my little garden...
but as it was raining outside, it is now in my living room.
Never mind, we won`t let the rain spoil our fun!:)

Yummy food and English tea are awaiting for you.

We have some tasty treats!

-Delicious sweet grapes and strawberries, anyone?

Would you like some yummy cake?
-No! I didn`t made it myself!

Juicy strawberries... With whipped cream and a chocolate flake on top?
-Too many calories? Who cares!
Not today anyway!:)

-Any one for chocolate?
Come on... Don`t be shy!
I know you want one, or two or maybe three... :-)

-There`s plenty of food to go around!

No afternoon tea party is complete without English tea and coffee!

-Would you like tea or do you prefer some coffee?

-Do you take milk and sugar?
Sorry! I forgot the spoons... Oops!
I certainly need to polish my hostess manners!:-)

What I didn`t forget was to make a yummy cake.
JUST FOR YOU!

Which I should had put marmalade glaze on top,
but as this party was quite spontaneous and prepared with goodies
that I had stored in the cupboards,
I didn`t had the top ingredient.

Never mind, still tasty enough!

-Don`t you agree?

Please, join me for a chat, as I just L.O.V.E to have your company...

-Hasn`t the weather been horrible today?
Hopefully it will put a stop on the draught that we are having!
-Did you know that we have an hose pipe ban, right now?
Not fun, when you have a lot of flower pots to water... anyway, c`est la vie!
It could be a lot worst, so better not to complain!

-Well, thank you for stopping by!
The time sure flew bye!
That`s what happens, when you are having so much FUN...
... And you are spending it with those you LOVE!

Time to blow off the candles...

... for next time!

-Should we do it together?

-On the count to three!
One, two, three!

I`m putting the pretty vintage cutlery and china away now...

But... You didn`t really think you are leaving empty handed did you?
...
One of my friends (YOU), who leaves a comment in this post, (which will be chosen at random) will get this lovely book.

It gives me so much JOY to be able to offer one of these books to YOU!
Consider it as my tea party souvenir to you!
This opportunity is open till Monday evening.
And is open to all!

I HOPE, YOU will like it, as much as I do!
I couldn`t resist buying one for me too! Hi! Hi! Hi! ;-)

The photos below are just a sneaky peek of what this lovely book has to offer...

Well I guess that is enough from here today!
Being a hostess is quite tiring... although a lot of FUN!
Hope you enjoyed too!
Time to put my feet up!:-)
I and my two helpers truly enjoyed your company!
