Mother's Day Tea Party

Because of our most recent visit to a local tea room, my sister really wanted to host a little tea party for the three of us.  She and I both love them. A tea party is so girly, it makes me feel like Anne with an "e" from Green Gables.  How can one resist such a sweet little get-away from life?  So, she got out all her tea playthings and sent me an invite to a special tea party at her house.  Just the three girls and some fabulous food, tea and conversation!

Life's not always a tea party; but being with wonderful people you love, having great food and tea make life's moments SO enjoyable!  So, to all you wonderful Moms out there....Happiest Mother's Day!!

Blessings!!

Vintage Tea Room Fun

Remember When Tea Room

     You may be thinking, a tea room?  Not for me, too old school.  But any of you lovers of Downton Abbey will have to agree that it's exactly this kind of place, or the pure opulence and "fruffery" of the scenery that drew you back to the tv set week after week.  
     This was my second visit to this place, "Remember When Tea Room" and I came back because I remembered how unique, fun and inspiring it was here.  Not to mention the tea selection with over 60 different varieties and great food to boot.  It's not just the food and tea I was after, but a great experience as well...          

      So, fix yourself a cup of tea and sit back to enjoy a visual feast of colors, food, nics-nacs of every kind imaginable. You'll see these and anything else you can imagine in this one-of-a-kind tea room with its painted floors, ceilings and vintage retro item-filled rooms.  
     There are way too many pics here, but I had a difficult time whittling them down; the memories of the experience fueling my photo enthusiasm. I think you'll enjoy this visit as much as I and my lovely companions, mom, sister and mom-in-law!  Enjoy...
     

Happy faces to greet ya...
