Tea Leaf Cafe Meet-up!

 Hi friends! <3

Went to a meet-up with the local comm for some bubble tea at a new/different place. It was great to see the group being active again after awhile. I tried a rose bubble tea with strawberry popping bubbles. It was really good <3

Tea Party @ Asa Ransom House Meet-up!

 Hi friends! <3

The local comm decided to make a return visit to the Asa Ransom House. I brought my bf along to introduce him to everyone. I was also hoping to get a pic of us together, but he declined.

A lovely table setting...

Such pretty flowers on this tea cup and matching saucer...

Asa Ransom House Afternoon Tea Meet-up!

Hi friends! <3

Checked out a new tea house with the local comm. Just a small group this time, but it was nice. Might have to go back with a bigger group next time.

Pretty table setting...

There was quite the selection of teas available. Each color was a different flavor...

I chose these ones...

Such a lovely tea cup <3

I started with the Paris tea...

The tea tower arrived soon after...

Finger sandwiches and a scone...

Assorted sweets too...

The dining room where we enjoyed our tea had some interesting vintage styled floral wallpaper...

Along with more florals in the lounge/sitting area near the entrance...

A quick look around the gift shop, and then we headed outside for some pics. I loved this cute gazebo they had <3

Once we finished up, some of us headed down the road to an antique market. I enjoyed looking at the jewelry and tea sets. How pretty is this set?

This sofa and matching chairs reminded me of something my grandma might have had. There were even roses carved into the wood trim. I would love to have some furniture like this some day when I have a house of my own...

My small purchase/memento of the day was this beautiful gold rose ring. I think it would go great with lolita and my everyday wear...

AP & BTSSB San Fran Pick-ups Opening!

Hi friends! <3

A few months ago, one of my friends went to the Angelic Pretty and BTSSB stores in San Francisco. They offered to do pick-ups, so I joined in. I only wanted a couple small items and figured it would be a good way to save on shipping too. At the ILD Tea meet-up, they gave them to me. I just got around to opening them today :-)

Thoughts:

I really like both items!

The otks are a nice white color with pastel stars and rainbows, so they will match with a lot of items in my wardrobe. I am happy to have found a suitable pair that will work as well as my Shyness Bear otks do for use in multiple coords. They were due for a short break. The elastic/fabric is somewhat snug but I'm hoping it will loosen up a bit after a few washings and wearings.

This is my first ring from BTSSB. The bow is a bit smaller that I thought it'd be. But maybe I'm just so used to the large plastic AP rings that my perception is off. Anyways, the metal is nice and smooth. It has an adjustable ring band. The sparkles are a nice touch; that extra bit of bling makes me feel like a princess.
