Jacquie's Grandmother who received all these tea sets as wedding shower gifts fifty years ago passed her lovely collection down to her. The guests all sipped yummy raspberry tea throughout the afternoon.
So much food. See those pink cupcakes on the right? Yeah, they changed my life. They were vanilla cupcakes but had a tasty chocolate filling in the middle, made by Jacquie's cousin who I think needs to open her own cupcake shop stat because they're that good!
The guests all went home with individually wrapped chocolates from her luscious Loulou Belle collection. I had the strawberry champagne sample that consisted of "milk chocolate infused with champagne and strawberries in a smooth ganache." Can you say, "Yum?"
Did you all have a nice weekend? I hope so! Let's get Monday over with shall we? ; )

Such a great baby shower idea. And can I have your box of take home chocolates? Champagne, strawberries and chocolate. Those are probably my 3 favorite things on earth. They might even beat my husband ;)

P.S. Ugh, the snow hit me pretty hard, after four years away from Edmonton I got sort of used to snow not arriving until January :(
Courtney: Thank you so much!
