All for Mom's...

Was truly blessed to be a part of a Mother's Day Tea in the beautiful 

Wine County known to most as Temecula, CA.

This tea-party featured some of my own personal tea-pots (pictured below), cups and tablecloth toppers, but creating and making three of my all-time favorite tea-sandwiches 

and arranging flowers for this event was a personal joy to me, 

teaming with close friends to serve some of the moms that mean the world to me!

I bought this teapot over ten years ago and has been by my side through thick and thin!  Though some teapot and cups come and go, this beauty is one of my staples.  She was easy to arrange flowers in as she has the feminine eloquence of beauty, style and grace -- see how elongated in beauty she is!

These table toppers are a personal favorite of mine as I came across the fabric at a thrift shop in the beautiful and quaint town of Fallbrook!  Accented with my white knitted placemats from Sur La Table, I think they made a great pairing for the day!  Thank you to longtime friends, Kurt & Lara Stewart for the beautiful ivory teapot, teacups, with the sugar and creamer...I think you won this at a football game auction...then blessed me with the goods---LOVE this set so much...a KEEPER!  

The flowers I arranged were purchased from Trader Joe's and Albertsons...

thank you for giving me a gorgeous selection of your long-stems to work with
(Dollar Tree actually provided me with some basic vases, short and tall to create diverse floral arrangements of all colors, shapes and sizes)!  

Teacups, sugar, creamer and tiers in this pic I took are brought to you by Trish Van Doren and Rentateaparty.com  Her pieces are sure to bring you the elegance and 

beauty your tea-party is so deserving of!

Snipping, creating, filling and adjusting...every bit of it was worth all of the prep, labor and no-sleep! These events are especially fun when working with a stellar team of friends and loved ones!  Spear-headed by Kathy Schumann, this tea-party couldn't have happened without her or the delicious cupcakes created by Rebecca Ochoa of RN Cupcakes--moist cupcakes that melt in your mouth!  Rebecca!!!! Really?!?!

Prettied in pinks, whites, flowers, cupcakes and a treasured teacup of daintiness given to me as a birthday gift by friend and mentor, Pastor Kimberly Dirmann, almost TWENTY years ago!!!

A sweet table...in every sense of the word!

This floral arrangement was one of my favorite creations--

a beautiful centerpiece for a lovely group of ladies!

Like I said...some of the moms I love most were honored that day...

I pray you know how honored and cherished you are...

so glad you were honored and that you came!!
