1st Annual Garden Tea

Yup, we had so much fun that we're going to do it again next year. In case you missed it, here are a few photos of the garden tea. The weather cooperated perfectly — perfectly — which was pretty miraculous considering the spring/early summer we've had.


There were lots of hats and flouncy dresses.




Jenn creating her awesome lemon meringue cupcakes. Martha couldn't have done it better.



See what goodies you missed? Thanks to all of the bakers and food prep. crew: Leah, Sarah, Gord, Judy, Jenn, Adrienne and I suspect young helpers, Reed and Chloe.



We were well-prepared for rain with large tents. (Thanks to Alistair and John for those! And also to Smashing Glasses for the tent and chairs.)



Ocea got into the swing of things with her strawberry pants. (Oh, and nice hat on the lady with you!)



The musicians added a wonderful aspect to the afternoon. Thanks to Robinson, Sarah, Sterling and Zina! It was a treat to have you play for us in the garden. We hope you enjoyed it, too.



A fine looking couple...



The scavenger hunt that led to a spot in the Secret Garden was a big hit. (Thanks to Patrice and Alaisha for creating that and also to Ava for all of your help during the event.)



See you next year?
