| High Tea Celebration

Today I celebrated my best friend's birthday! We got all dolled up and made reservations for high tea at a local tea room for the occasion. It was filled with countless refills of divine assam tea, scrumptious sandwiches, and delectable desserts. Also, the china at our table was precious, sporting a variety of butterflies and leaves. Besides the fact that we looked fab and we were having adorable food, it was just fantastic spending hours with her while sitting in that cute little tea room! Here are some pictures documenting our day...

Cheers!

So I've decided I need to find a hat like this. Any suggestions on where to look? Besty so graciously let me take hers for a spin.

Isn't her walk-in closet the most adorable thing you've ever seen?! I couldn't resist snapping a picture.
