Arriving at the Tea Party!

As I step through the lovely gate leading to Ms. Valencia's, I am delighted by what a beautiful & charming tea party she has thrown!



What a glorious and delightful event! For all of the hard work, whimsy, and beauty that our hostess provided, I felt it only necessary to bring her one of my most favorite things...

99 Luftballoons!
So many beacons of brightness, our carriage nearly floated away!

And what kind of guest would I be without bringing delightful & tasty treats?


Come, join me in the carriage for some Green tea with Jasmine & fresh Rosebuds and matching cupcakes. I've picked up some sweet kettle corn from some delightful Amish farmers we passed along the way-- it's been infused with the flavor of the circus!

Here-- please have a tamale, too. On the long ride, we passed some side street vendors making them fresh. Goat's cheese, black beans and artichokes, or chicken and chipotles. They are both divine!
