    Roses are a favorite of mine too. Such a wonderful array of tea treasures and sweets to go with. Thank you for including recipes. I saw the tilapia recipe as well. Simple but flavourful!
    I love your collection of spoons. not sure I have seen glass spoons before. I will have fun looking for them.
    Have a blessed week. Pam

The Kitchenettes ~ A Hospitality Club

Romans 12:13
Pursue the practice of hospitality.

The Kitchenettes is all about teaching and mentoring young girls in the art of hospitality. It is so much more than cooking or doing domestic tasks ~ hospitality is the very heart of God ~ a demonstration of pouring His love onto others. This group of young girls are learning the very nature and character of God as they serve people and sharpen their skills in homemaking.
