Pink Saturday....Tea Time!

Happy Pink Saturday!! Check out all the pink things at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com

Country Mouse (that's me) and City Mouse (bff) met up in Phoenix last weekend. It was a business training...and of course we managed to squeeze in some FUN!! It took a bit of sleuthing to find a "Tea House" nearby. We found this fabulous place in Gilbert AZ called Tea Dreams. If you are ever in Phoenix...you must go there!


We are used to the typical Victorian Tea houses (which we LOVE!). This was totally different and we were both delighted! The colors were PINK and brown. This is the logo and they even had dishes made with the logo, lady and all on them!


There was so much wonderful tea cups and such to look at. Here is a Pink plate:




Fortuitous that I was wearing Pink....I blended right in!!


Aren't we having fun????


We ordered the Duchess. Doesn't that sound GRAND? It was so delicious....these pictures are making my mouth water!



Desert? Are you kidding?? Of course. And, we ate it ALL!!



They have some wonderful quotes painted on the wall. Hope you can read them.




This is in the bathroom. I came across some bloggers that were taking pictures in public bathrooms....I should find them. I never thought I would be so inspired to join in!!


I just adore the way that they hung crystals on this light fixture. I truly admire people who come up with such creativity!



Isn't this round couch sooooo Pink Saturday????


What a fun time. Wish I could do it all over again....right now!!

Happy Pink Saturday To YOU!

    This place is fabulous, and the colors are perfect. I would have eaten those scrumptious looking goodies, too.

    Absolutely loved your pink post today. That tea house looks like such a fun place. And yep I love getting my hair done especially while it is being washed. I just wish Susie wouldn't talk while she was doing it...but maybe not...because I'd probably fall asleep. I especially love it when there is no waiting customer and she plays with my hair when styling it. Happy Pink Saturday! ~ Lynn
    P.S. I loved what you did with your sweater. :)

    Hi Stephanie,
    What a darling tea room and in my favorite colors! Who would have thought they'd have something like that near Phoenix. Did you look in Prescott or Carefree? I know there are darling ones there!
    Happy pink weekend!
