chicago

These are pictures from my trip to Chicago, when I got engaged in Oct. of 2008. Yes, I know it has been a few years, but I just got the film developed.
Brant, my now husband asked me to marry him on top of the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel the day after our 4 year anniversary. It was so beautiful, with the city lights on my right and the water on my left. Just thought I'd share them.

I used an old twin lens camera I found at a flea market for $5.

Thanks for looking!

a tea party

This weekend one of my best friends was married. We all had such a wonderful time being apart of the events and seeing all of the lovely bride's ideas unfold. One of my favorite things from this weekend was the very classy 'High Tea Bridal Shower'.

All of the ladies were dressed in their finest and and no one went without a fabulous hat!



We felt like royalty being served by the groom and his best man. We were 'showered' with an assortment of wonderful food. There were scones, cakes, figure sandwiches, pimm's, and of course tea. I've decided we need to make this a weekly ritual, because it was so much fun!


The tea party was very authentic and was given by a husband and wife who are from England and have even given teas for royalty. They told us so many interesting facts about teas and England, it sounded even better with their wonderful English accents.

It was all so "posh"!



She is reading my card :)



Good til the last drop.
