Year Review and Bloggaversary!


OK- I wasn't going to but just had to get in on the review fun!




JANUARY


Painted bathroom and bought new mirrors -
 giving this space a whole new feel at a budget cost.





FEBRUARY


I took a French baking class with my friend Crystal
 and we learned how to make macarons.








MARCH


Treated my sister to afternoon tea at the historic Kelton House.





APRIL


I sponsored my beautiful niece / god-daughter
 for her Confirmation at church.





MAY

I lost my bestus furry friend, Romeo.






JUNE


My sister-in-law's baby shower at the historic O'Neill house.




JULY


Hosted a tea time brunch with my other niece
 in our covered patio garden room.

Enjoyed mild weather our there as much as possible
 wearing my stupid broken-foot-boot most of the summer.






AUGUST

Bridal shower & wedding of our younger daugher.




And I just now realized I never shared a post
with any other pics of this beautiful wedding.
How on earth I never got around to it escapes me?!

Well, I may need to remedy that - better late than never, eh?




SEPTEMBER


Dear tea society sister/friends Dawn and Marina hosted an amazing
 Ruby Pear Afternoon Tea
in honor of our friend Karen's birthday.






OCTOBER

I participated in my first tea cup exchange.






NOVEMBER


Hosted a "Thankful for Friends" luncheon.




And Becky from Timewashed blog gifted me
 these 2 beautiful velvet pumpkins.






DECEMBER


Changed my blog header into something seasonal for the first time ever.




Also hosted a Christmas tea for my young lady niece
 in case you missed it a couple posts ago here.







****Today is Jan. 1st****
 and it is also my 4th bloggaversary!



Here is my first-ever post
It was so lame it is cringe-worthy, but was truly sincere.







As always, thank you for your visit!

Happy Happy Happy New Year to you!

GO OSU BUCKEYES!

  22. Oh, I love that first post! We have to start somewhere, don't we? Aren't you glad you made the plunge? Four years! I just passed the two-year mark.
    Yes, please post wedding pictures. I'd love to see them, and perhaps "steal" some ideas, too!
    I see a theme, too, in 2015. Lots of beautiful tea parties! You also lost your dear Romeo and had to wear a cast. And had a wedding. Life is so full of ups and downs, isn't it? Praying that you have a wonderful 2016, dear friend!,And that we can meet this year! xo Deborah
