the virtual tea party is on for january 12, 2007. since we will all be traveling the party will last all day. (one can never drink too much tea or eat too many teacakes.) at some point on the 12th, all partygoers should post a photo and/or description of what they brought, their favorite tea, or anything else tea related. once you post let me know and i will add a link to your site to my post. and of course, since we are all busy with the holidays right now, i will post reminders as we get closer.
i need to start posting about other things besides tea, but first i need to share with you the universal love for a tea party.
the mumps love a good tea party.
.......................................
stuffies from the this is not art festival 2005 like drinking tea.
..........................................................................
children usually enjoy tea parties. (mixed media art by dawn howkinson siebel.)
..............................................................................................
even george bush has attended his share of tea parties, although i'm not sure he's having much fun at this one. (brilliant painting by mark bryan.)
and now i will go on a tea pary hiatus until i return from new york. i will, however, have at least one more non-tea-related post before then.
if we look 1/2 as cool drinking tea as the mumps i'll be happy!
happy holidays risa!!!
