{Published!!!}

Let's just say that I all but ran around
 the block yelling when I saw
our Spring Tea Event at
Cheesecake Therapy printed on
the Events page for the
 March/April issue of the
beautiful Tea Time Magazine!

Tea Time will print local events in the publication when submitted so I figured - why not?  Well, that was one of the best decisions I had ever made.  We filled up our March Tea at CT within one day & opened a 2nd seating that filled up the following day.  We had so many responses to a local tea in Olde Town Arvada that we are almost 100% booked for our April tea!  Such an exciting time for us!

Thank you for all of your support! 
My dream is starting to really feel like a reality -
 now to try & find a store front in the right spot!

Every Olde Town needs a tea room & So Lovely is the one {I really really really hope!}

Happy Birthday to Nana! & {Tea Cup Tuesday}

the wonderful little lady that

made Afternoon Tea
something I enjoy so much!



 

this was one of our final pictures of Nana - Decemeber 2010

 

 {Tea Cup Tuesday}

Because I am trying to be really good about posting on the blog & because I love to share pretty tea cups with all of you out there I am continuing on with {Tea Cup Tuesday!}

 

Aren't these just Lovely ;) 

they are from Martha, of course - she had them in a

beautiful post about a wedding using green - very springy!

 

Here are a few pictures from our Spring Tea,

 as well, that we hosted this

 past weekend at Cheesecake Therapy

 

 

our new banner that I made for Spring! 

It says "tea party"

*this collection is available in the etsy shop -

very sweet for a tea party of any age!

 

the 11 o'clock seating!  We had two seatings {11 a.m. & 1 p.m.}

 - more to come on this but let's just say that we filled up FAST

 & just had to open up a second time for reservations! 

Not a bad problem to have ;)

We are so happy to say that we have been incredibly busy - Having Tea!

 

Over the next few weeks I will be catching you up {with pictures of course!} on our teas. 

 

We have been hosting a monthly tea at Cheesecake Therapy here in our hometown of Arvada.

 

 

Cheesecake Therapy is a wonderful little bakery in

 Olde Town Arvada owned by Heather - you have to be sure to visit soon

as you won't be disappointed ;)!

{It's been awhile!}

Hi ya'll - It has really been too long - WHEW... there has been a lot going on around here.  We have hosted a number of teas that I can't wait to share with you!  But for now...

 I wanted to share with you this beautiful & yummy petite savory & sweet treat that I think would be perfect for our Christmas Tea coming up!

I just may have found a new favorite blog full of inspiration!  I hope you enjoy it as well!

{Tea "Cup" Tuesday!!}

I found this online - don't you think it would be

perfect for an afternoon cup of tea for

 someone named "Erin"?!  I do!!!

{Sneak Peek!}

here is a quick peek at the new collection I am working on for

a 40th Birthday Tea we have coming up soon!

don't you just love the color combo?

I will have the entire collection up soon on the Etsy shop here

I can't wait to show you each and every element {banner, toppers, etc...!}

{Inspiration!}

Since summer is leaving us & coming to an end I had to give one more shout out to this beautiful time of year!

We are cold & dreary here & it is looking more and more like fall at each corner {not that I mind a bit!}  I love fall but today I had Garden tea parties on the brain!

look at this beautiful inspiration...

Don't you think this is o "So Lovely"?
