I enjoyed my annual trip to the Memorial Day Weekend Beulah Beach Benefit Auction. This is the 10th annual auction. I think I have only missed one. It is always a wonderful times to see old friends and to support the camp. It was a beautiful weekend up on the shores of Lake Erie.
I love these signs!! It means I almost their, almost to my happy place.
I have my bidding card, which is my favorite number. 27! I think it is going to be a good bidding day
I was super excited to see another tea item at the Auction. Last year I bought a Turkish Tea pot, it was donated by a couple who used to live and and work in Turkey. I was excited when she confirmed that this table was from them as well.
I won the bid!!!!!! there was only one other lady bidding and I won! Truth was, I was determined to win :) I got it for $100.00, great deal and money going to a great cause. You just can't beat Beulah Beach and all they do for kids and leading them to Christ!!!
I've said it before, but Beulah Beach has played a crucial role in shaping the person I am today! I was a camper their from 8-17, then a camp counselor from 18-28, and I lived and worked here for a year with their guest services. The camp is almost 100 years old, I believe in the work that is done there and I am happy to support them.
I am excited that my friend, Laurie, says she knows how to make Turkish tea. She said she will come and teach me! I am thrilled to learn! The lady I bought the tea pot from, has given me pointers- but I would love to watch someone make it and try it.
It is a nice size and does fold up if I need it too.
Here it is in my living room....already for a tea party. I joked with the lady I bought the items from, that maybe next year she will sell the tea cups :0
I could not be happier with the tea set!!!! I just love the way it looks and I can only imagine the history of it being used in Turkey. The time the women had sharing and laughing over tea.
