Time For Tea

My lovely daughter-in-law, Aylin, read an article recently about great spots in Los Angeles to enjoy high tea.

The ladies of the family decided it would be a great Mother's Day celebration, but we had to wait until last Sunday for everyone's schedule to coordinate.

Aylin settled on The Peninsula in Beverly Hills.

I wanted to take a little something for everyone so I bought white teacups at the thrift shop.

To spice them up, I tied colorful ribbons onto the handles

 and personalized them with names or initials.

My plan was to use flowers from my garden, but in case I didn't have enough, I bought two bouquets at Trader Joe's.

I have an whole new appreciation for florists 

after arranging the bouquets over and over again to get them just right.

There were just 6 of us at tea - that's me in the white dress with my sister in the sunglasses.

We had such a lovely time, that we have already chosen our next spot for tea.
