high tea

this afternoon was spent with all the lovely ladies from my family gathered together to celebrate my mothers 50th..i know 50?! she got married at 19 so started things young! we had a lovely selection of 'high tea'... date scones (dad made)..gluten free carrot cake, fruit platter, afghans, veggie sticks, club sandwiches, punch and more..the sun was out and to say the least we had a very pleasant afternoon. here are a few of the pictures..

 

  

i also made purple pom poms for the first time..'they're all the rage' apparently :-) 

happy 50th birthday to my beautiful mother. x
