Kelseys 30th Tea Party

“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. ” Thich Nat Hahn

Oh how I do love a nice cup of tea!
My sister Kelsey may or may not have been adamantly opposed to turning 30 this year. I don’t see the big deal… in my eyes people don’t get older…they just get better. I wanted to plan something special for Kelsey and considering we couldn’t take her daughter out to a rip roaring party on a Friday night (since when are babies in bars frowned upon, anyways?) I opted for the more mellow and much more pleasant, Sunday afternoon tea party in the sunshine.

Heart-Shaped Cucumber & Cream Cheese Sandwiches

Cranberry Shortbread Cookies

And instead of a cake…
We lit her Mai Tai on fire…
I suppose my family really does like to get creative :)

Cheers!
-Bay

About
A bay is a large body of water connected to an ocean or sea formed by an inlet of land due to the surrounding land blocking some waves and often reducing winds. Bays also exist as an inlet in a lake or pond. A large bay may be called a gulf, a sea, a sound, or a bight. A cove is a circular or oval coastal inlet with a narrow entrance; some coves may be referred to as bays. Bays were significant in the history of human settlement because they can provide a safe place for fishing. Later they were important in the development of sea trade as the safe anchorage they provide encouraged their selection as ports.Any bay may contain fish and other sea creatures or be adjacent to other bays. For example, James Bay is adjacent to Hudson Bay. Large bays, such as the Bay of Bengal and the Hudson Bay, have varied marine geology.
