Tea Party

Recently our Brownie troop went on a very girly trip to Tea Leaves and Thyme, a tea house near us.  It was a lot of fun!  Catherine, who would never drink tea, asked for a pot of water (no ice - not too cold!).  She loved pouring the water into her tea cup and daintily drinking.

The costume center was a big hit. It was well stocked with hats, dresses, scarves, purses, stoles, and jewelry.

 This hat may match, but is a bit too big for Sabrina:

 Catherine loved the shawl:

Our whole group:

They brought us all of our food on these layered tiers.  There was a lot of variety and actually more food than we could eat. However, the kids spent more time in the costume center than at the table.

 This hat fits Sabrina better:
