What an exquisite afternoon party of sundries and delights. Tea and biscuits, tiny sandwiches and finger pastries–and tulips, and floral china, and straws with little red hearts. It’s like a bright shiny women’s-only Valentine’s Day party!

Barbara & her mom are so sweet in the putting together and managing of this day—I can only wait to see what the wedding will bring.

In the meantime I take great pleasure in these smiles, the game faces and bright eyes, the fascinators and full blown Sunday hats, the opening of gifts and corresponding bingo. Really, wow, I thought bridal showers were blase–not according to Basia & her pals.

This is seriously a bright sunny day full of joy to remember.
