I was recently blessed to attend the 2nd annual dessert tea fundraiser for Open Arms Pregnancy Care Center with a friend. I was SO impressed by this event! Being someone who enjoys teas, it was a wonderful experience. From what I heard, the event has grown quite a bit since last year. People volunteer to host tables where they are in charge of decorations and food preparation. The theme was Love Life, and many people took a Valentine approach. I thoroughly enjoyed walking around and seeing the variety of styles.
I had never participated in a silent auction before, but I enjoyed that part as well. They had an option for purchasing items outright instead of bidding, and the item I most wanted was purchased that way after only a few bids. I was disappointed, but I still won another item, a basket full of goodies. And I got it below it's value price!
Our hostess did a wonderful job. Her table was one of my favorites, and the food was thoughtfully planned. Truly a feast for the eyes! She even made the nametags!
Our table didn't have all it's food yet when I took these pics, hence the empty pedestal. Isn't it pretty though?
Some of my other favorites.
This was the item I was hoping to win. After I saw it was purchased, I took a picture. :)
Our hostess. :)
This gives an idea of the size of this event. Look at all the tables! I took this shot from my spot. Our table was at one of the corners of the room.
I'm already looking forward to next year's fundraiser. Maybe I'll even host a table!

That looks like it was such a wonderful time. You always have the nicest photos on your blog. These were so much fun to see. I love how each table was different. What a fun idea, and sounds like such a great cause. Beautiful pics, Farrah.
Thank you, Laurie! I wish you lived closer so you could have joined us! I could definitely see you at a tea. :)
