Hmmm....what to wear to tea...that is the question.
Whether to dress in finery and pearls, with heels and fur, hat and gloves, fine linen and lace, or to come to tea as you are.
There is a place and a season
under the sun for all things,
and yet remember
vanity, vanity,
all is vanity.
One might think it better to be on the front porch
with Tea in a tumbler
filled with ice and a sprig of fresh mint,
sipping away with a friend who has just stopped by
on a warm summer afternoon.
Though one may have been working in the garden in frock and sturdy apron donned with a straw hat, there is always time for tea with a friend. Come one come all, leave none out for it is not the tea that dictates the garb, but the fellowship with a friend that dictates tea time pleasures!

Great post! I can't help but chuckle ~ yes, it's vanity but isn't it fun! SMILE! and since i'm in a jean skirt and lavendar t-shirt right now, I'll gladly accept your invitation to come "just as I am"! It looks wonderfully delicious!
I love your photos! Very clever post and it is true that tea with a friend is the more important thing.
Brava!!! How fun it was to read your prose!
I love your shutter with hats and gloves, perhaps I'll wear some while tasting some of your delights :). Wonderful post, thank you for sharing! :)
Love that!
Fantastic! I agree about always time for a friend!
Your images are wonderful.

A beautifully set table, pretty gloves, and lovely ideas for a tea party! Kathy@ Mimi's Garden
I love the way you wove the two scriptures of a time for everything and all is vanity together ~ very cute!
I don't have my post up yet. We are very busy and it may have to wait another day or so.
Well said!
This is a most clever post and I truly loved it! You are so very right, it is the friendship and fellowship that are important! Sipping ice cold tea from a tumbler on the front porch sounds heavenly!
What fun photos. Thank you! And I love your blog header.
You are right of course. But I still love to get dressed up! The picture of the hats and gloves brought back memories of my grandmother....
a great visit, thanks for posting!
Clothes are lovely. That tea table looks so inviting, I hope I can get over there!!!
