What a lovely Sunday afternoon!
I'm so excited to introduce you to Evangaline and Tess...two lovely girls I "adopted" from Christine over at Du Buh Du Designs. http://www.dubuhdudesigns.typepad.com/ She's the talented one who created these belles femmes. I wish I were a better photographer so you could really appreciate them!
They are magnificant! They arrived right before our tea party, so I am still getting to know them better. All the girls in Christine's studio have such fabulous personalities. I hope my girls aren't too homesick.
I know their names...(and I adore their names) but I like to pretend that I am Tess...(if only I were that chic) and Evangaline is my daughter. Tess is taller, so this fits perfectly into my fantasy. See how I rested Evangaline's head on "my" shoulder. My daughter does this often. Ahhh...so sweet. And look...we are in Paris...at a cafe!
and look what I am holding in my hand!

Whew! I've been at the party all day and my dancing shoes are ready to call it a night. Thanks for a great time. I met each and every one of you and tasted all your yummy tea treats.
I hope each one of you were able to capture some of the magic that Vanessa
sprinkled around blog land.
I know I did! Thanks again, Vanessa.
Bonne nuit! A tout a l'heure.
Sorry to keep you waiting...it was David at the door...have you met him? He's a jeweler.
He brought me this lovely gift box...I wonder what's inside?
Olivia plays violin!

Let me introduce Estelle...she just moved here and hasn't unpacked everything...but couldn't resist popping in to our little party to say hello.
Let's take tea!
We're so glad you could join us!
This is Bella, she just flew in from Sarasota.

These gals have known each other forever! Aren't they lovely in their pretty bonnets.
Please, make yourself at home while I get the door!

the "House that Love built"
Let me tell you about a wonderful, easy way to help thousands of families. Consider collecting pull tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities. My children and I have been collecting pull tabs for five years now. It all started when my middle son started collecting them just to see how many he could get. Then, I came across the information concerning the program and we all got very excited about this fabulous chance to help other children and their families when they really need it most.
It is such a habit to remove the tabs and store them in the drawer above our trash bin. We all remove the tabs whenever we drink a soft drink...no matter where we are. Sometimes, people wonder what we are doing pulling the tabs off and sticking them in our pockets. It must look a little eccentric! I now think it's impossible to throw a can out with a tab intact. I've been known to dig through the trash to retrieve a stray tab.
Ronald McDonald House Charities is an organization that provides housing to families when
someone in their family needs extensive medical care at a hospital away from their home. Our local House earns about $1,000 a month just by recycling the tabs that people donate! This money goes toward the operating costs of the House...things like food, cleaning supplies etc...
Unlike the rest of the can, the pull tab is pure aluminum...so it generates the most money when recycled. It also takes up less storage space and is cleaner.
Start collecting now! You can find information about your local Ronald McDonald House on the Internet...just Google it!
