BEAUTY for Mono Monday ... I love our:

 BEAUTIFUL PLANET EARTH.....
Had a great tea party at our house yesterday - 12 people - served scones, black bread with smoked salmon, cheese and cucumber sandwiches, quiches small and large, macaroons, small eclairs, 2 cranberry cakes, 2 birthday cakes. And the winner was: cucumber sandwiches, white bread toasted a little bit, buttered very thinly and a spread of light cream cheese and cucumbers! Everyone loved it, so simple, so good! 
And pardon me, I put 2 photos in the extra, before all food was gone!
