It’s springtime! When I think of spring, I think of garden tea parties, sitting out in the backyard with the roses in full bloom, sipping some delicious Bigelow Tea with some good friends.  When I think of tea parties, scenes from Alice in Wonderland, elegant Victorian decor and ladies with their pinky fingers stuck up in the air come to mind.  I have some very old, yet amazingly beautiful tea cups and tea pots that I’ve just been itching to use to have a tea party with as they’ve just been sitting around in the china cabinet, collecting dust for quite a while now. These cups and pots hold a lot of family history as I imagine they have been through many tea parties before. Some of them can even be traced back to 1910 when my great-great grandmother Carlson owned them. As spring has been approaching us, I’ve been getting more and more excited to finally host a tea party with these beauties! I gathered up a few friends who I know enjoy tea and tea parties as much as I do, and we started to plan our afternoon tea party to celebrate spring with Bigelow Tea! This led to a trip to Wal-Mart to go buy some of my favorite tea, Bigelow Tea, as well as some other much needed items, which you can see the full shopping trip here, in my Google+ Album!

Girlfriends, Coffee, and Baked Delights: Make for a Most Delicious Re-“Treat”

Buying the Goods

On a typical Saturday afternoon, like many others, I am out running errands. This past Saturday I made a routine stop at one of the local Wal-Marts in my area. I had quite a few items I needed to purchase here as well as a get together with the girls at my house (I love planning parties) to plan for that would require stocking up on some favorite treats and coffee to sip on while we spent some quality girl time together. So off I went  to Walmart to shop my favorite brand, Starbucks!

Upon entering the store, I was quickly side-tracked by the bakery area.  The bakery had a plethora of options to choose from. Talk about a kid in a candy store! How was I EVER going to decide what to choose? Everything looked so scrumptious.
