Belles 10th Birthday Party

The Vancouver Belles Celebrate 10 years.

The Theme --- Southern Belle Victorian Tea.

What a fabulous day filled with wonderment and memories to last a lifetime.
Our two newest Belles; B.J. and Lorraine were our hosts for the day.
They planned an extraordianary event at the Grant House on Officers Row in Vancouver. What a stage for our photos. Such a magnificent home with impeccable grounds. Beautiful stairways, verandas... You could almost taste the Mint Juleps ....I think I may have caught a glimpse of Miss Scarlet, too!

The setting, the hosts, the food, the friendship, the service the gifts along with our sisterhood could not have been better.
Everyone dressed in their Southern Belle finest and they all looked just breathtakingly gorgeous. We decided that we love, love to dress up and especially in Southern Belle attire.
This was just a perfect photo opportunity for all and we couldn't have been more grateful. It was
a Southern Belle kind of day.
B.J. shared with us that she belongs to the Hardy Plant Society and was partly responsible for the magnificent grounds at the Grant House.

They even presented each lady with our very own adorable red hat tea cup and saucer delightfully wrapped in cellophane with bow and precious tea spoon.

We were all delighted when they brought each of us an adorable and delicious "Bon Bon" that arrived just that morning. They were shaped like little hats in pastel colors and were just precious.

In the ten years we have been together, we have grown dear and cherished friendships - a True Sisterhood.
I thank each and every Belle for being the best chapter ever.
