Tea Sandwiches, anyone?
How about a Macaron?
Hot tea??
And no... I was not in the English countryside!
On a beautiful, breezy and sunny Saturday, September 7th 2019, I was sent to photograph the Grundy Museum's "Tea Tasting on the South Lawn". The attendees and the Grundy staff were dressed to the nines, guests wore their fanciest hats, and the late summer weather was picture perfect! Local Tea Specialist Deborah Raab gave a brief presentation and brought three types of hot tea to sample,
including my favorite... robust and flavorful Earl Grey.
My neighbor (and friend) Sue Duffy Arroyo catered fancy tea sandwiches, scones, fresh fruit, and bite-sized desserts beautifully presented and served on English china and large silver platters.
The Tea attendees sipped, dined, and socialized leisurely, then enjoyed a tour of the newly renovated museum. The event was a surely a success, and the museum hopes to have more events on its south lawn in the future.

Oh, how I wish it had been me sipping tea and eating delightful finger sandwiches
by the Delaware River!
