Care for a Spot of Tea?

You can serve high tea around the dining room table, but afternoon tea is more of a living room occasion, with everything brought in on a tray or a cart.

This past weekend Mark's brother and wife, Ryan and Mary, came for a visit. Mary and I had a great time chatting and shopping on Saturday. We shopped until we dropped! :) This is one of my proud finds. It was at an antique shop, but wasn't too over priced. :)

I originally intended it for the family room, but I think it looks right at home in the corner of my dining room. I'm still not sure what to put on that middle shelf. I'm glad to get my cookbooks moved over here. I was a little tired of them being so prominent in my china hutch.

Now I just need to figure out what I want to do with that space in the hutch! :)

What little things have you added to your home lately?

A quick update on our friend Sis. Connie:
She was able to take her next round of chemo. Yesterday sounds like it was a pretty good day for her physically and she got to see her baby girl who turned one month yesterday. They are hoping she can get off the ventilator soon. Thank you all for your prayers!
