  • Tea for Two

  • I recently attended a baby shower for my good friend Caitlin at Teaism in Old Town Alexandria.  The details were too cute not to share!  The hostesses did a great job with the adorable animal theme and the food was all delicious.  I especially loved the favors from my beloved Georgetown Cupcake!  I'[...]
