Tea in Paris....



Well, this French chickie (I may be pure Italian, but I'm a francophile at heart) has been busy with a little Tea in Paris I put together, in honor of Valentine's Day, for some gals that I love...a few amies, my mom, sisters, niece.....and yesterday was the big day. It turned out magnifique if I do say so myself and I had a blast with my french theme....take a look at the little menu card I made with Marie Antionette and my "let them eat cup-cakes"......The Vichysoisse was a big hit too ~ who would have thought a cold potato and leek soup could be sooo yummy! But I have to say my favorite part of the tea was dessert, with a hot cup of orange white chocolate tea with a heart shaped espresso brownie....mmmmmmmmm....
Today is my day of rest, putting on a tea party, even if it was just an intimate gathering, takes A LOT of work and much preparation.....so today I rest and enjoy the fruits of my labors, otherwise known as left overs or in this case...lots of petite bite-size goodies. Au Revior.
