Monday, September 1, 2014. Hankies, Handbags and Hats, Oh My! On Saturday, August 23rd, I went to East Lansing with two friends to attend my 16th theme tea at Cristy Bennett's house.

Several hat, glove, handbag, and hankie vignettes were displayed on the antique buffet. The high tea began with Sparkling Cherry Juice. Crustless Cherr...

Relevant Tea Leaf: Cristy's Royal Garden Promenade Tea
http://relevanttealeaf.blogspot.com/2014/06/cristys-royal-garden-promenade-tea.html
Monday, June 16, 2014. Cristy's Royal Garden Promenade Tea. Last Saturday my girlfriend, Sandy, and I traveled to East Lansing to attended Cristy Bennett's June theme tea - Royal Garden Promenade. Cristy said when she saw the fabric for her tablescape, the symmetrical patterns made her think of royal gardens designed by famous landscape architects/gardeners. And it was as though her porcelain figurines of 17th and 18th century ladies were promenading the gardens. Personalized Keepsake Menu Card. The 2nd ...

http://relevanttealeaf.blogspot.com/2013/04/cristys-daffodil-delight-tea.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. Cristy's Daffodil Delight Tea. This past Saturday, my girlfriend and I traveled to East Lansing to attend one of Cristy Bennett's teas. Her tablescapes are extraordinary, and I've never been to a tea that surpasses her's. The teas always have a theme, and Saturday's was Daffodil Delight. Spring has been slow coming to Michigan this year [as a matter of fact, there were snow flurries as we traveled on Saturday], but upon arrival at Cristy's house, spring had sprung! A photo and des...

Relevant Tea Leaf: A Pride and Prejudice Tea
http://relevanttealeaf.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-pride-and-prejudice-tea.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. A Pride and Prejudice Tea. Last Saturday, two friends and I traveled to East Lansing to attend another one of Cristy Bennett's beautiful and creative teas. This makes the 17th tea I've attended, and while each has been special, this blue and white Regency tea ranks up at the top. When we stepped into her living room we saw a beautiful blue and white tablescape, and the room was decorated to coordinate. I know of no one. Who goes to all this detail. Jane Austen would be proud!

Relevant Tea Leaf: Sunday Reflection...
http://relevanttealeaf.blogspot.com/2015/08/sunday-reflection_9.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. My pastor is currently doing a sermon series on The Blessed Life - living out The Beatitudes,. The eight "attitudes" that Jesus gave His disciples in His Sermon on the Mount [Matthew 5:1-11]. Last Sunday's sermon was the 5th beatitude - "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy." [NIV]. Mercy and forgiveness, but not everyone is willing to. Mercy and forgiveness. The message closed with the poem:. If our great need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.

Relevant Tea Leaf: Celebrating Julia Child!
http://relevanttealeaf.blogspot.com/2015/08/celebrating-julia-child.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. I've been reading Julia Child's biography Appetite for Life. I'm enjoying it, but it's slow going looking up the definitions and pronunciations of French words. I'm on page 302 of the 500-page book, and have learned so much about her life. Do you own Julia's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking,. Which proved her tenacious spirit, and made her famous? Volume I was published in 1961 - a ten year endeavor! Linda @ Friendship Tea. August 10, 2015 at 8:32 AM. I bought Volume...
