GNO! High Tea, August 2011

Today the ladies in class got together for a wonderfully, girly good time and it was just what we all needed. We had reservations at a tea room in Huffman and the owner Kathy was a true delight.  All of the rooms are decorated with a theme and our room was wrapped in lace, rosebuds and pink.  We spent two and a half hours eating dainty little finger sandwiches, scones and delicate desserts while sipping small teacups full of blackberry tea.  Here are a few pics from the day...
