Like many people I knew the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton was today but I didn't have a lot of time to think much of it.
Until yesterday. For some bazaar reason I got sucked into the hype. Big time! 
I remember being 9 years old when Princess Di was wed and watching her on TV as she got out of her carriage in that huge dress. Then many years later, getting up at 2:30 in the morning to watch her funeral when I had two small children of my own.There are so many upsetting things happening around our world right now and it's important to enjoy the good things that are making history too.
So yesterday in between my normal errands, I made a stop at Goodwill to pick up a few extra tea cups and saucers so we could have a fun little 'High Tea' for dinner.
Of course we had many types of little sandwiches.Fresh flowers and British Flags were displayed.
A wide assortment of finger desserts to choose including scones.
A variety of breads......
...which wouldn't be complete without strawberry butter, honey butter and 3 different jams.
AND our new favorite sandwich....Fancy Cucumber Sandwiches!
I decorated with Blues and Creme colors with hints of green.My favorite details were the mini crowns I printed out and slipped into the $0.10 napkin rings bought at Linen's N Things before they closed their doors.
Everyone enjoyed the variety of food to choose from and left the table with full tummies. AND there are leftovers for another time!
Some of the interesting comments and questions I heard were:* Who is all this for?
* I don't get it.
* Is someone coming to dinner?
* Why do we have to celebrate another countries wedding?
All of these opened up some good discussion but my favorite comment was:
* "Pinkies up people!"
And what type of 'tea' did we drink?
I had the Diet Coke version and everyone else had the Root Beer or Chocolate Milk version. ;) I didn't get a single other thing done today but I hope my family learned some things and will make and remember fond memories like I did at their young ages.
