Friday I was invited to "A Autumn Tea Party" hostessed by my friend Kari! Kari is a gracious hostess and loves to please her guests. Detail is her flair and she is good at it! You will see it in all the pictures I took. I gasped as I walked in the door. Thank you Kari! xoxOn my sidebar is another tea party she hostessed last summer..."Gifts of the Sea".
She had lovely music piped on the outside as well in the inside of her beautiful home.
A hand painted portrait of Jane Eyre. Kari wrote a musical about Jane Eyre that played here to New York.Her talents are endless.
The menu was unbelievable! 
I made the pumpkin scones and spread.
My favorite herbal tea was Caramel Apple! I added 2 tiny teaspoons of raw sugar & a little cream. Yummy
Look at the darling display of individual pumpkin pudding!
She had us each bring one of our favorite books to share and tell about. We all went home with a new book to read. Kari's little 9 year old daughter even shared her book! So sweet.
As we left a thoughtful gift was given to us!
Another tea party I shall never forget! xoxHappy Thanksgiving!

Maryjane! What an event! Your friend is certainly the hostess with the mostess! I just LOVE everything from the music that met you in the driveway to the goodie bags you took home and everything in between.
You are right, she is gifted in the "detail" department.
That menu is a culinary symphony. Each item seems to compliment the next.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tea party with us too!
I bookmarked this post as a reference. Just perfection!!!!!

Maryjane,
From the moment you stepped up to the door and heard the music playing, this must have been such a wonderful day! The room looks like a tea room. Everything is just perfect. The little tree with gift bags was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture.
Lovely!

Love reading about the tea party!!
Do you have any idea where the lady got the tree that she hung the bags on? I would love to find one of those to use for Christmas Stockings!
Love your blog!!

Hi Maryjane, I am Kari's sister, and I've been thinking about writing articles about her beautiful tea parties for magazines. Would you like to partner with me with your pictures? And do you have a picture of the invitation? I know she sends lovely ones.
