My friend Debbie invited me to a women's tea sponsored by her friend's church. I had heard about this tea, but had never been. Basically, a woman "sponsors" a table and is in charge of decorating it with her own place settings, fabulous centerpieces, teas, candles etc. The organization provides light appetizers that include tea sandwiches, scones, cheeses, and desserts all served by waiters. I don't know what the cost of the tickets were because it was a gift, but I am sure the proceeds went to some Women's Ministry fund. During the evening, there was an inspirational speaker who talked about the seasons of life every woman goes through. There was also incredible music vocals backed my guitar, violin, cello and piano. It was a great way to bring in the holiday spirit and to reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas instead of the typical Christmas parties common this time of year.
When we walked into the hall, we saw probably 50 tables of 8. All seats were full with ladies from pre-teen to great-grandmothers. Everyone was dressed up for the occasion. Before the tea began, we could walk throughout the area treating ourselves to view each of the tables. Some were traditional Christmas, but no two were alike. There was a deep turquoise and silver table, a Japanese cheery blossom theme table, and a cupcake theme to name a few. Our table was brown and turquoise with a winter reindeer theme. It was exquisite! Each woman had a small gift at her place setting to take home. Ours was a beautiful poem and ornament to match the theme. It was a magical evening and I am so grateful I was invited to attend.
