Val (err...) GALentine's Day

This past weekend, a group of creative ladies got together for some Valentine's Tea at Upstairs on the Square. It's a relaxing and tasty tradition we vow to keep with the coming of each new season.  Oh, Ellen what genius ideas you have:

I also got to spend some QT with Julia, who always brings a smile to my face. We're cheers-ing with some pre-tea hot chocolate:

I'm usually not one for pink, but even though the walls, tables, napkins, menus, floors, and ceilings were shades of pink... I loved the decor. Scattered around were little hints of spring: tulips! (I used to work in a flower shop - fun fact: Tulip season is actually November-March!)

And I can't forget my view across the table of the fantastic and quite lovely: Caryn, Kate, and Amanda.

Sweet and savory heaven:

And... always classy... me. :)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone <3
