Birthday girl Michele: tea & friends

It was my dear friend Michele's birthday last week, and as per our tradition, my mom & I celebrated it with her. This year, we did a low-key tea & gift-opening outing to Black Honey (a local dessert cafe). There, we were served tea in pretty vintage cups (well, I drank their homemade iced tea) and ate copious amounts of delicious cheesecake. Truly, a sweet day was had! Sprinkled on top of that was the gift-giving of handmade goodness.

 

I had a piece of Kahlua cheesecake; in the background is Michele's Apple Caramel cheesecake.

my mom had the Honey cheesecake with a berry sauce on top.

 

tea & gifts! including a Time for Tea postcard I got from tabidesigns

 

 

my mom knit a beautiful Prayer Shawl for Michele.

This is a lovely Treasure Purse that I got from A Giraffe in a Scarf's mom! Perfect for Michele!
(thank you to Zoe & Zoe's mom!)

I enjoy intimate little get-togethers to celebrate the simple joys in life. There's a sweetness to a small gathering of loved ones, where the energy is passed around equally and easily.

The addition of tea & cheesecake is just the cherry on the cupcake of life.
