I know Valentine's Day was quite a few days ago now, but I would still like to share! But first, a giveaway, hooray!
So I work at a tea room that has delicious food,
and adorable gifts, and of course, tea! I love working there and I would like to share some of that tea shop love with you in a giveaway. So here is the deal, just go to this link Chantilly Teas and then leave me a comment on this post with which teas you think sound yummy! Also, any comments about what sort of things you like (flowers, silver, gold, crystal, colors, etc.) and any accessories you might be needing (strainers, tea cups, doilies, stationary, etc.) will help too! You see, if you win I will be hand choosing some items from the shop for you, so the more detailed you are the more likely you will love the things I choose. If you are lazy and don't want to go to the link or state your specific likes, that is okay too (believe me, I am lazy a lot) just leave me any old comment and you will still be entered. Also, you do not have to be a follower, but if you are just let me know and you will get a second entry!
I will be leaving this open for a few weeks to hopefully get as many people as possible to enter. So tell your neighbors and tell your friends!
Now, on to all my Valentine's Day shenanigans. Mister B and I don't really do gifts or anything, we just have one Valentine's tradition that we love. We get all dressed up and go out to eat at pizza hut! We love pizza so we would much rather go there than some fancy restaurant, but getting dressed up and eating there still makes it fun.
Other than that I usually get myself presents, yay!
Like Valentine's tea (heart scone from Chantilly).
Candy and flowers to decorate my table.
Trader Joe's goodies. (I love the label on the wine, and those cookies are seriously the best tea cookie EVER.)
I also made some heart pastries! The recipe is from Tea Time magazine. Mine don't look quite as pretty as the picture, but they still tasted good.
Oh and the Mister and I got another pizza as well (on an earlier night) because it was shaped like a heart!
I hope you all had lovely V-days as well! Don't forget to enter the giveaway and I will see you again soon.
love, Alia
ps. You may have noticed the countdown at the top of the page. The 22nd is National Margarita Day, so don't forget to celebrate. I know I will be!
