Tea Party: Pulling it off
Well! I’d say the tea party was a resounding success, despite a few minor setbacks! Friday night I went all over the place to pick up the final ingredients and such for the main event. I visited a number of bakeries, cheese mongers, florists and grocers to get everything I needed. By that point I…

Tea Party Recipe: Scones
No tea party is complete without proper scones, jam & cream. While I am not ambitious enough to try making my own jam & cream for this tea party (though that would be nice, wouldn’t it?) I did feel that proper home made scones would be the right touch for the occasion. Commence scone-recipe-searching! Haha,…

Tea Party Inspiration
Aside from doing the general Google search on tea party themes, decor, etc. there are a few major things that have inspired me as I plan my party. This was the original, if you can believe it! I came across this TV commercial on YouTube years ago and the fun little song and idea got…

The Day After
Ok, so the laundry yesterday didn’t happen. Instead I spent the afternoon helping my new roomie assemble some kind of Ikea wardrobe thing for her room. Ikea is great, until you have to put that shit together! We did ok though, working as a team which was cool. Except that we managed to get one…

Moving Day!
Well, today’s the big day! My old, financially-unreliable roommate is moving out, and the new one is moving in! What’s funny is that it seems everyone else had the same idea for this weekend! My street is positively filled with moving vans, giant garbage heaps of old furniture and people milling about with boxes! It’s…
