a real tea party

our new friend, april & her daughter monica, had several of us over for a tea party the other day.

here we all are with our tea party clothes and hats.

each of us had one of these beautiful cupcakes

here was the pretty table
all the pretty little touches like the roses were so sweet

jars of candy with cute chalkboard labels

monica passing out the gifts she made each of us
i loved this picture of everyone taking a picture of her
she knits & crochets so amazingly you wouldn't believe it! she made us each a tea cozy for our tea cup. here's mine. isn't it darling? i loved that turquoise button!

we had such a fun afternoon and felt like real southern ladies--thanks april & monica!
