Boho Valentine Tea & Glitter Workshop

Remember I'm a Boho Girl??? This past October I went to a 3 day retreat at Elaine Tolson's home and it was extraordinary! Saturday, February 11th I was able to attend a 1 day retreat at her home. This was a Valentine Tea and Glitter Workshop! It was so much fun! I love anything and everything glitter...I'm just quite sure glitter can cure whatever might ail a girl...don't you??? I went with my friend Kathy and it was just perfect to spend a Saturday with her. She is the granddaughter of my sweet client that passed away and Kathy and I had spent every Saturday for over 4 years with her precious grandma. As we were making the long drive to Elaine's beautiful log home we chatted and laughed even shed a few tears and just enjoyed being together for a whole Saturday!

We made the most beautiful glittered sparkly wall art at the class and then had a Valentine tea fit for a queen. Sweet Jennifer who had cooked at the last Boho Retreat I attended did all the cooking for this event also. She did not disappoint!
