DOLL DAY TEA PARTY

Mothers, Daughters, Dolls & Delights

	Scheduled to coincide with Doll Day weekend, the annual "Dolly & Me for Tea" party is a women-only event sponsored by the Haddonfield Presbyterian Church Preschool. Real-life Raggedy Anns greet party goers (above, left) who are invited to feast from delicacy-laden tables (above, right). The event raises money for a regional children's literacy campaign.

	Tea and the etiquette of its preparation and consumption are celebrated by participants who also get to show off their costume finery as well as their favorite dolls (above, left). The crowd includes, mothers, daughters, aunts, nieces, grandmothers and granddaughters. Exotic tea pots and accoutrements (above, right) decorate Fellowship Hall in the downstairs of the Presbyterian Church.

	Tea party servers were provided by the local Girl Scout Troop: left to right, Erica Jacovini, Justine Justinechew, Ann Leone, Lindsy Ray and Julia Moon. The afternoon also included piano recitals, puppet shows and question and answer sessions with a doll expert from the Haddonfield Historical Society.
