(Baby, dressed for the tea)
Last Saturday Grace, Christianna and Faith were suppose to go to a Young Ladies Tea down south somewhere. (anything further than the Palace is "down south" to us) But God had other plans and sent a snow storm, so they stayed home.
Rather then waste all their hard work on the tea goodies, curled hair and pretty dresses finished just for the occasion, they decided to invite the neighbor ladies down for an afternoon tea.
Christianna gets the food ready . . .
Yummy!
Tasty!
The guests arrive, all dressed in their best. So lovely!
Pretty teacups and crystal goblets.
Are you enjoying your tea, ladies?
We are having a lovely time, thank you!
The infamous "green tea!" :-)
We made delightful little bees wax candles after tea. So fragrant!
A bees wax taper. Pretty flowers. Sweet young lady!
This young lady (the pretty one in the green) was a wiz at candle making! She made many beautiful candles and shared them with special people.
Happy friends after the lovely tea.
A group shot of everyone in their finery.

how do you make bees wax candles? They sound neat, and that one taper looks really neat.

Hello! Thanks for commenting. We use sheets of bees wax to make candles. These can be purchased through a variety of craft stores or places online. You have to heat the wax sheet a little with a hair dryer to make it soft enough to roll. You can use a whole sheet to make a taper, or cut to whatever size you want. We like to make little rose buds and leaves with scraps of wax to decorate the candles.
They are so quick and easy to make. And smell lovely when warmed and burned.
