Jacqueline
Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

ReplyDeleteMy goodness this is wonderful! So many pretty details. Love the very feminine place settings and the gloves. That cake and the cookies are amazing. Looks like a fun event. Your Halloween craft turned out so cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, elegant, fun event for your gal group! What a wonderful time you have together! They are a talented group of friends! What a fun way to celebrate birthdays! Each of you feel special on your own day. What do you do for winter birthdays? Can't wait to see!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the Fenton, the milk glass, and all the feminine touches. Looks both lovely and delicious.
ReplyDeleteHoly Wow Jacqueline! You girls know how to have a craft/Birthday party! That cake and the cookies are incredible! I love all the girly details, from the hats and gloves to the beautiful silver and china. Such a great spot too, I remember from your last craft meeting post. Great Halloween creation too! I might just have to move to Utah y'all have so much fun :)

Thank you so much for commenting on my blog post today. Your latest post is so fun. How lucky to have friends that can get together and do some wonderful things. The setting is so lovely and relaxing. Great details. I love the look of that cake and oh... those adorable cookies. Valerie
ReplyDeleteWow! What a party! Everything was beautiful, and my mouth watered as I read about the delicious cake and cookies.
ReplyDeleteTalk about a perfect event, this has to be it! How can you miss with touches of glamour r and tasty food and friends who enjoyed being together? Add to that perfect weather and you girls had it all going!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You know I love tea! The chintz pattern on the cake and cookies is so fabulous and unique! Each of you has brought so much to creat the lovely tea time. Your craft is also lovely and great for Halloween! Hope you will pop over to my post Orange Bursts Upon Autumn with tea!

What a gorgeous table for tea, from the lace tablecloth, silver bouquet in the gloves to the food! The chintz cake is a work of art along with the matching tea cup cookies and I adore the hinged door screen backdrop! You girls dine in style and have fun too :)
ReplyDeleteOh Jacqueline, who needs to go to a tea room when you can have such a wonderful one in your friends's backyard?? What a tea party you all had! The table is just gorgeous and those gloves, the dishes, the name cards, the tablecloth, etc., etc., are just perfection!! The cake and cookie I actually thought were porcelain pieces...too pretty to eat (almost!). Thanks for sharing what a wonderful group of ladies you belong to, and the darling craft that you made.
ReplyDeleteThe most amazing cookies and cake I've seen. Beautiful design. Can't image the time such detail took. I would hate to eat them because they look so pretty, however, they look so moist and delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love all the elements on the table. That tablecloth is lovely and perfect for the entire tablescape. The gloves are a delightful and creative idea to hold the silverware. I am partial to Buttercup since I chose that pattern when I married also. The vintage china and milk glass pieces are just the right touch.
The hats were fun I know. I remember my mother wearing hats to her club meetings and to church. I wore a hat on an airplane when I was in high school and I do remember wearing gloves on occasions. As a young military wife I remember wearing gloves in the receiving lines for special affairs. Those things have gone by the wayside now. I still have a long pair of gloves and several short pairs but none as pretty as the beautiful gloves with scalloped edges with pearls.
Glad you were able to celebrate your friends birthdays outside with such a pretty setting. The hinged doors are charming and the chandeliers so lovely.
Can't wait to see pictures from Paris at Christmas. I have dreamed of being there then and also seeing Germany at Christmas too.
Perfect in every way! It looks like a dream! The cake and cookies are gorgeous, and every last detail is beautiful! Send the rain our way, okay? :)
ReplyDeleteJacquline as usual a fabulous party wherever did you find all the beaded gloves? they are uber gorgeous I have never seen gloves so feminine as these the table makes me long to come and join all of you just to share in the beauty of these plates and tablescape. Well done count yourself very Blessed.Susie
ReplyDeleteJacque, I really missed out on a gorgeous night! I couldn't believe how beautiful everything was when I delivered the sandwiches. I have a fetish for old doors and the screen Joanne's hubby made was fabulous! The food all looks so delicious! I too need to head to Trader Joe's. You got some great photos! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Such a wonderful tea party! All of the details are wonderful in the table setting and the food. I am definitely going to find those croissants at Trader Joes next time I'm there!
