Julie-Tea!

My friend Julie just celebrated her 30th Birthday this past Sunday!  Happy Birthday!
Here she is in her Red Carpet Ready gown at her Oscar themed party with her husband Daniel.  It was a great party full of glitz and glamour! 


Before that, though we had a truly amazing high tea experience at Lady Mendls on Irving Place near Union Square in New York City.  If you're in town or have a special guest, you should definitely go!   

After a few steps up into an unassuming brownstone, you're transported to the Victorian era and a beautiful dining room. 

Julie and her sister Rachel are happy here for some girly fun!

So were Daniel and me.  He was a good sport to accompany the ladies for his wife's special day.  Yet somehow he got stuck sitting next to me. 

 Our first course was a miniature butternut squash and Parmesan quiche. 




 And my pictures are all out of order, but we did enjoy delicious cookies and pastries...

 An amazing cake made out of crepes and creme...

 scones of course...
clotted cream and jam...

our tea pots were very friendly...

 finger sandwiches too...
 sweet little sugar cubes

 beautiful china...
 ginger...

 And tea, don't forget.  A really lovely afternoon - thanks Rachel!  And Happy Birthday Julie!
