Tea for Two
There is nothing more girly than a tea party. All of the romantic linens, lace, and pastels can make you feel somewhat whimsical. I had made reservations for my mother and I at Mrs. B's Tea Parlor (a local tea house in downtown Littleton, CO). The lunch included two pots of tea (our choice), scones with jam and cream, and a three tiered plate of small tea sandwiches and sweets! It was all wonderful, but I could not stop thinking about putting on my very own tea party! Here are some great ideas...
White or pastel linens are a great choice to cover any table.
Keep a centerpiece in mind. DIY tea cup candles would feel very romantic.

Organization!
Today, my main focus is organization. I have been putting off organizing the closet in my kitchen for quite some time. It is truly the "catch all" closet. To start the day, I'm going to head to Goodwill and unload a few things. I love to thrift, so of course I will have to stop in and scope out any treasures! Who knows, maybe I can find a couple of cute baskets or organizers to put in the closet! I found some inspiring photos of great organized cupboards and closets. Here are a few...
I love these labels!

Most craft stores, like Hobby Lobby or Michaels should carry starfish or seashells.
