My good friend Hope and I had the perfect time noshing on tea sandwiches and laughing the night time away.
The Picnic
After I heard that there have been cucumber sandwiches and tea time within the present, I knew I needed to pack somewhat tea party-themed picnic. I introduced my favourite rose picnic blanket, customized Rose Desk tote bag, and white roses with greenery, which regarded beautiful with the picnic blanket.
I thought of taking one in every of my tiered tea serving trays however opted as a substitute to take light-weight silver platters from Thrift for Good to offer that very same old school class that was far much less cumbersome.

The Present
That is palms down probably the greatest reveals I’ve ever seen at Shakespeare Dallas! The hysterical rom com, directed by Jenni Stewart, had us laughing all night time lengthy. Tommy Stuart was sensational as Earnest/Jack. He didn’t waste one minute of his time on stage, including nuance to even the best second with comedic timing that was a pleasure to observe. Brandon Whitlock was hilarious as Algernon, garnering uproarious laughter.
Caitlin Chapa gave it her all as Gwendolyn, leaning into the raunchiest bits of the character, a lot to my delight.
