Oh, Stacy, how I want to attend this tea. I would love to be there, to give you a big hug, and to be encouraged by an uplifting message. If only that thing called miles didn’t keep me from attendance!! Maybe one day I’ll be able to have tea with you.
Blessings,
Patti
I wish I could attend! I hope the day is a blessing to many.
Count me in! I am so blessed to live only a little over an hour from you. We actually took our youth group there today to Wildlife Prairie Park. It was hot, but fun. I will get the form sent in this week, I will, I will! Blessings, Cassandra
Stacy, I wish we were within driving range. Your tea sounds so lovely and encouraging. Any chance recordings will be availabe from the speeches? It wouldn’t replace the food and fellowship but it would be something :)
Dear Hannah and Mainmom,
So sorry you won’t be able to make it! It would have been great to meet you! As to your question about taping, we are working on it. If it works out, I’ll let you know.
And Cassandra, that’s fantastic! I’ll look forward to meeting you!!!
How lovely!! It just too far from Denver though! I’d love to come otherwise. Thank you, dear ladies, for creating events such as these!
Stacy, I will be there. I’ll send the registration in tomorrow!! My daughter Abigail will be joining me, and she can’t wait. I posted about your tea party on my new blog, come on over and check it out!
Amanda
Sounds wonderful!
Do you have an artist and title for the beautiful picture at the top of the post?
Thanks!
Yes, I also wish I could attend. I am on the last chapter of Passionate….. What a BLESSING your book has been!!! It has recharged my “battery” and given new strength. I know this luncheon will do the same for those who attend.
Maybe you could video the luncheon speakers and place it on you.tube? That would be just wonderful!!
Once again, thank you for writing your book. I am one of a few women in our church who believe firmly in SAHM but am treated as if I am “behind the times.” I know we are doing the right thing because of how the Lord continues to bless our faithfulness. God bless you and your family this week. I love your blog and look forward to reading.
Because of Him,
Ruth, PA
I would love to be able to come! I could use the refreshment and encouragement!
I know we are on the right path for our family, but it sure is lonely sometimes!
Can’t wait to see the lovely photos!
Hi Rebecca,
If you click on the painting, it will take you to art.com where you can purchase it from them. The artist’s name is Carl Holsoe; and if you liked that piece, there’s another of his you would probably like here:

The painting you referred to hangs above our fire place!
Kimberly, Ruth, and Mrs. Rabe,
I wish you could attend! Perhaps next time? We’re toying with the idea of putting together a family camp next year where whole families could come for a 3 or 4 day event. We would try to plan a ladies tea in the midst of it. Perhaps some of the “long distance” ladies could attend that way!
Also, we’ll be planning a mother daughter tea later in the year.
Amanda,
How wonderful you’ll be able to make it! I’ll look forward to meeting you!
Stacy, I hope your able to tape the speakers for the tea and make that available. If so let me know.
Renee
ok is there such things as righteous jealousy??
Oh how I wish you were close or we were closer, my dear sister, so Maria and I could attend your tea’s!!
We got to see Christa, Daniel and your beautiful grandbaby this weekend- along with Celina Henderson,Nethaniel, and Joshua.
It amazed me how much the conference had changed! We missed you and James there!

Angie
Oh, I wish I could be there too! I just googled and it’s almost 7 hours away from me…pooh! Maybe next year.
I know this will be an encouragement to many!
Aaaaah I am in the same boat as others…NC is just too far away. Also wanted to let you know that we are enjoying Raising Maidens of Virtue and I am beginning Passionate Housewives….I so wish I had had these materials long ago, but now my daughters are being blessed by them. Thank you so much. Oh another idea, how about some of the recipes of the things being served at the tea. They sound delicious.
Blessings,
Holly
I am so enjoying your blog! I wish I could attend your tea, but it is not possible. I was astounded to see tht you offer gluten-free alternatives on your menu! God bless you from a Celiac and a Titus 2 woman!
