Every year, my friend Lyssa hosts a girl's tea party.
We all bring a little something to share...cookies, scones, tea cakes, jam etc.
Lyssa brings out her collection of beautiful vintage spoons and her Grandmother's tea set from India!

Offensive Tea Party
Ahhh hahaha these crack me up! Vandalized Vintage by Trixie Delisious on Etsy. Could you imagine having a quaint little tea party while drinking out of these cups. Too great.
Having fun with old china- don't tell granny!

Relaxing Night
D: Hmmmm what do you want to do?
B: I dunno...but lets go out and do something!
D: Ok, what?
B: I've got an idea!
Danny and I had a nice night. I took my man to the Nordstrom's Cafe for a cup of tomato soup and a mission fig salad (this ain't no prissy salad). I've been wanting to take him there for awhile now. Their tomato soup is the best I've ever had and their mission fig is A-mazing.
After our light dinner we got a piece of chocolate from See's Candy. My favorites are milk chocolate bordeaux and raspberry buttercream. Mmmm that was good, but eating just one isn't enough...so we made our own when we got home!
After that we met up with friends for black almond tea at Cha for Tea. Ahhhh life is good -- it was the perfect way to end the evening. I'm thankful for such a wonderful day and my wonderful man.

This Tea is a definite crowd pleaser. Everyone I've ever made it for becomes an instant fan! So... if you are looking for a tea that will impress or to give as a perfect gift, this is it! I like to sip it and pretend I'm in Paris.

#3 TEAVANA - STRAWBERRY LEMONADE HERBAL TEA

This tea is great! I personally like it iced and mixed with Teavanas Bluberry Bliss Rooibos Tea. So fruity, you'd think you were drinking fresh juice! Love the taste, perfect for summer!
"Irresistibly fragrant strawberries infused with tart lemon slices creates a new twist on an old favorite! This wonderful herbal tisane is the delicious strawberry lemonade you've been waiting for. Great hot or iced, it also is a great choice for kids, since it is caffeine-free."

#1 MIGHTY LEAF - VANILLA BEAN
Today I made an wonderful cup of Vanilla Bean Tea. I mix mine with a little half & half and a spoonful of sugar. If I really want to get carried away, I'll scrape 1/3 of a vanilla bean pod into a saucepan along with cream and sugar to simmer on medium heat for 5 min before adding it to my tea...to die for!
"Vanilla Bean black tea, a deep blend of black tea leaves with Madagascar vanilla, conjures up images of inhaling the heady aroma of wild vanilla as you hike the tropics near Mt. Maromakotro. A full-bodied and fruity cup, Vanilla Bean flavored black tea, a blend of Ceylon and China black teas, makes a deeply satisfying impression. Enjoy the whole loose leaf flavor in the silken tea pouch, our twist on the gourmet tea bag."
