On Saturday, we had a baby shower for Elaine at The Secret Garden Tea House in SFO. It’s my first time there and the first impression wasn’t bad at all. It is a cozy place but I think they have another area for larger/private parties, and we were in the main tea room.

It was a baby shower with a theme — floral, suggested by SP, and everyone had to wear something floral, even the little ones.

I’m not going to write a full review of the experience at the tea house. Food was decent, tea was great, quite some variety. I had the Raspberry Chocolate Truffle and tasted great, a balance blend of raspberry and chocolate, light but tasty.

There’s a little dress up corner. All the ladies had so much fun there as Ashlyn was peeking at them and looking very confused. They have variety of hats, boas, and even tutus for the little girls. When I tried to put one on for Ashlyn, she refused, insisted on wearing her own dress. On the other, Sydney was very happy to wear the tutu and didn’t want to take it off.

As for Ashlyn, she was shy at the beginning but towards the end of it, she asked me to take to the dress up corner and played with the hats, and of course, the pink tiara.

Both Elaine and myself are very happy about how the favors turned out. We found the mini tea set online, and purchased some mini cookies from a baker I used before. Elaine found this very cute container, and VOILA!

They had a little too much tea.

I guess they made up.

Oops! Exposed??!!

I will leave it up to Elaine to post more pictures in her blog.
