In Love with a Dream: ILD Tea Meet-up!

Hi friends! <3

I know ILD was awhile ago, but the nearby comm delayed having their meet-up due to everyone having such busy schedules. Fortunately doing so, we were able to gather in a fairly large group. Due to being such a hit last time, we went back to Mad Hatter again.

Looking good...

I started off with a few things. The chocolate chip scone was delicious...

Then, the tea arrived. I got one called Alice's Choice. It had a nice fruity sweet taste...

Sandwiches came out soon after and were gone in no time...

Bingo sheets were passed out once everyone had their fill of the food. Being a sweet lolita, I related most strongly to "pinks don't match." Although that can apply to other colors and styles as well. Such as gothic lolitas having non-matching blacks. Lol. Which of these can you relate to...?

So close, but not a winner. Bingo prizes included an Angelic Pretty gift card, loose-leaf tea, and fancy chocolates. A fierce battle of rock-paper-scissors ensued when a three-way tie occurred..

There were also various raffle prizes, so everyone got to win something. I chose this ring because it looked elegant and I thought it would go great with my gothic items. I believe it's called a poison ring. There is a latch on the side you can undo which opens the top to reveal a small hollow space inside. Pretty cool huh...

We then went outside to take pics in front of the café/restaurant. I quite liked this one. This giant tea cup used to be part of an amusement park ride. I'm glad they found a way to re-use it here. Good from a promotional angle too...
