With my passion for cooking, baking and fine table setting...
Once again I offered to do a HIGHT TEA for the bi-annual local Rotary Club's fundraiser.
Pieter wearing his Gianni Versace jeans and I wear my sewing creation Silk Batik bolero jacket, hand painted with gold and made from Indonesian formal shawl on Escada skirt.
Lydia is the lady in white silk blouse...
A happy group of ladies and we both enjoyed hosting them!
Tablecloth used is our Portuguese Guimarães white work, we bought in Coimbra in 1994 while on tour through Spain Portugal for 19 days.

Hello Mariette, We were just talking about how nice it is to entertain people in your home. That is quite a spread you prepared for them. You look great as usual, and Pieter looks quite natty in his black bowtie!

Dearest Jim,
DeleteThose were really great times for having people come to your home and make them feel pampered. It was a lot of work but we both loved doing this.
Pieter always looks very dapper wearing a bowtie.
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteThank you and it was well worth the effort!
Pieter always has helped out in a great way and we often say afterward: 'Team Vedder did it again!'
Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
