Sometimes we get so rolled up in all the things that we have to do in life that we forget to do the one most important thing ~ LIVE IT and really savour the small moments ~ like a meal with a friend. Neither the setting nor the meal needs to be fancy, the important thing is that you take some time to just DO IT!
Well, that's just what one of my Besties and I did. We decided some friend time was long over due. With help from our Home Assistant I prepare some nibbling foods and of course tea, for this impromptu luncheon.

We set the table with a pink, white, and hint of green tablecloth and added some potted purple market tulips in a pale blue decorative ceramic pot, to remind us spring is here.
The colour pallet was kept soft, again to keep spring in the air...
The napkins were a tribute to our rose garden planted last summer. A golden tortoise shell napkin ring giving homage to the earth, that grows our lovely flowers, was used.
The china is Limoges from France in a delightful sprinkling of bluish and pink flowers...
There was plenty of food ... seafood finger nibblies, salad. Bestie brought some onion buns,Asian custard tarts (YUMMY) and strawberries.
Mr. G captured the moment... and we went about enjoying a couple hours of catching up and enjoying spending time together. Of course this is my Foodie & Travel Bestie, so lots of talk on food and travel.
We finished our meal and lingered in planning our next girl's travel escape, over a wonderful cup of tea. The tea served in my Lady Carlyle by Royal Albert teapot and teacups is from Mariage Frères, which I brought back from my Paris trip in October 2011.
Pink and white roses from my Bestie!!!
When was the last time you enjoy a simple meal with a Bestie for no reason?
