    Critter,
    You always seem to have the best ideas! Thanks for a charming idea. Like the idea of a seed swap party much better than a tea party. Good tips on how to keep everything flowing smoothly while still getting the task accomplished within a given time frame. Great article!

    Thanks! Actually, last year's swap started as a tea party (with seed swapping), LOL... but I got sick and decided I wasn't quite up to hosting at my place after all, so we turned it into a "Chinese tea party" at the restaurant! That worked out well. :-)

    Critter:
    The only tea parties I get invited to are fundraisers, with boring and pretentious people. I am more down to earth and don't have much patience with pretentious people. I'd rather just give a donation to a worthy cause than waste time with people who only care about how much I can add to their coffers. Especially when I could be out in the garden. : )
    I'm sure any tea party thrown by you would be lively, full of interesting conversation, and full of lots of fun and laughter! : )
    Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! : ) Well done Critter!

    If you ever manage to get out this way, I'll throw a tea party in your honor -- and it'll be a fun one! :-)

    I'm sure it would. I know us critter people are simpatico! : )
    How far away is Rhode Island from you? You never know. I might be headed out that way some day to do more research on a book.
    Same goes for you, if you ever make it out my way, we probably won't have a tea party, but we'll do something special! : )

    LOL... it doesn't have to be a tea party, we just need to get together if we're in the same area!

    I think Rhode Island is pretty far from us, maybe 500 miles?
