Looking Through The Window At Marlee's First Tea Party

Alice in the famous fairy tale was bored with her sister's book that had no pictures. Marlee on the other hand is never bored. The world is her place to explore and find all kinds of exciting things to do. Marlee especially likes to go to her Grandma B's. Why? Because Grandma B has all kinds of exciting things to do and learn. Today's story is about Marlee's first Tea Party.
On one of her overnight stays at Grandma B's house, Marlee discovered a treasure that just happened to be there for her to play with; a tea set. The dishes and the teapot were pink. It had cups and saucers, small plates and a teapot. Tea sets need more than one person; one to pour and one to drink. It seems that at "B's" house Marlee could actually have tea by herself and still have fun!
 Alice in Wonderland fell down a rabbit hole and had to drink tea constantly. That wouldn't be any fun. Having tea with "B" was fun. Let's see what they did at their first tea party together.
First, Marlee set the table for two (2). Oh look, Marlee is serving little cakes. Oops, I see that there is a bite taken out of one. I'm sure that was to make sure that "B" had a good cake to eat at the party. Marlee had to make sure that the food was tasty.
Then, of course, the tea. It seems that this tea is all the rage, perhaps called Orange Pekoe in some of the better Tea Shoppes where the really rich people go. If you will notice Marlee's  left hand. She is showing her place in society by forming the correct placement of her little pinkie finger along with the perfect nail polish that matches the color of her new tea set.

Marlee set her "tea table" with the best of her treasures. She knows her table manners well and realizes that presentation of food for her guests is very important. She is placing four (4) of her very special treasures for table enhancements. Treasures are an important addition to the table to emphasize the difference between tea cakes and marbles and coins. You see no stone has been left unturned.
The only thing that Marlee has yet to learn is that Southern attire may be fine while looking for treasures and doing chores, but at tea time? Really. Yes, really. Marlee looks cute in bare feet and shorts. (Note that her polish and shirt are pink also.)
