Coffee, Tea, Wine and FLOODS!

Okay so I have been MIA for a minute!  The flood swept into town the first week of the month and wrecked havoc on my schedule and focus! 

But good news...I AM BACK!!!

So I have been toying with the idea of how to host my second tea party event.  I have a few themes that I have been throwing around.  The first was a retreat/shopping experience to coincide with the holidays.  The second was not actually a tea party but a wine tasting (still one of my preferred beverages :-D) with bite sized finger foods.  The third idea was a crafting event where the ladies put their creativity to use by designing their own hat for the occasion.  The first 2 ideas are perfect for the holiday season but the third will more likely be more appropriate for the spring.  The year is winding down fast so I need to make a decision quick!

If you have a preference of what kind of event I should host next please let me know.  I would LOVE your input!  What event would you prefer?

Kiki's 1st Tea Party

Hosted my first tea party today.  Whew!  Let me tell you it was a lot harder that I anticipated but thanks to family and friends it all came together and worked out.

The Menu was kind of last minute (really last minute) but the guests seem to enjoy it:

Assorted Mini Cupcakes
Brownie Bites
Key Lime Cheese Cake Squares
Mini Cinnamon Rolls
Mini Quiches
Pinwheels
Assorted Cookies
Assorted Teas

My plan was to just order some platters from Publix but my finances decided otherwise so I had to make do with what I could find at Walmart.  Overall it was a good time.  I definitely learned a lesson in planning and communication.  Next event will be 10 times better!
