High Tea at the St. Regis

One of my favorite traditions has become tea with Natalie before starting school.  This year Grandmama happened to be in town, and the three of us had a magical morning tea time at the St. Regis.

This sweet girl is still a little girl: as adorable as she looked, she still sat cross-legged.  And as well behaved as she was, she was still chomping at the bit to bypass the sandwiches and scones and eat the desserts.  And she is without a doubt the girliest of girls.  I wouldn't have it any other way.

The harpist was just delightful to Natalie and the other little girls.  She explained the workings of the harp and even let Natalie feel the music vibrating through the harp and strum some of the strings (apparently the strings closest to the harpist are made of sheep intestines and are very delicate).

As I said last year, I love having a girl....especially this girl.
