Brunch at Mimi's - Jewelry Making at Joann's Fabrics
February 20, 2010
It didn't snow!!!! It really didn't snow!!!
Blue skies and sunshine made for some very happy Red Hatters as we met for brunch at Mimi's Cafe. Yum! Fruit topped Belgium waffles, homemade French toast, the "best" corned beef hash, and a great quiche, plus much more filled us up before testing out skills at jewelry making.
Our teacher in jewelry making was very helpful and very patient as we attempted to string beads for bracelets, necklaces, and earrings without dropping them all over the floor. Actually some of us did drop them on the floor at least once, possibly twice. Some mastered crimping, some mastered looping, but everyone had fun making their original works of art.
We had a great morning and afternoon sharing laughs and good times with our Red Hat sisters!

The Blue Turtle Tea & Spice Co.
January 16, 2010
Do you know how to decaffeinate tea? How to make a flowering tea? What to do with flavored sugars? What to do with with Le Marche Spice? You do if you joined us for our January event at The Blue Turtle Tea & Spice Co. in Uptown Westerville. The store owner Amanda welcomed us and showed us a great time. She taught us things about tea that we never knew.
Our gourmet chef Randy tickled our taste buds with things like lemon dilled shrimp, tortilla soup, steak quesedillas, and curried chicken, all made using the herbs and spices found in the store. He explained about different salts and sugars as well as some interesting things about herbs and spices.
It was an enjoyable afternoon with good friends and a fun place to visit.

Roaring 20's Party & Our Sixth Anniversary!
March 15, 2009
"Floozies"
Queen Carole's grandfather,
H. H. DeWitt, was turning over in his grave Sunday, March 15th! Harold
was a staunch member of the Westerville Anti-Saloon League, and here was
his granddaughter attending a Speakeasy with other rebel members of the
Victorian Bouquets!
It was a relatively small group of
"Ladies" (the twelve more adventurous ones) out to snort the
hair of the dog and bump their gums.
|
|
|
|
|
There were chippies in their glad rags,... |
 |
|
a bootlegger
packin' heat
|
a Sheba with a
bean shooter
|
and of course, the gangster moll.
|
We all enjoyed the jazz music and those hoofers with joints that weren't screamin' got up and danced.
|
|
|
 |
It was a lollapalooza! We smoked our fags (candy and bubble gum cigarettes) and drank our giggle water (crème soda, root beer, orangeade, etc.)
|
|
|
 |
 |
We all thought we were the bee's knees, eel's hips, gnat's whistle, and elephant's eyebrows! The "bluenose" of the Bouquet don't realize what they missed! We'll bring those birds around one of these days!
Queen Marilyn and Cween Carole thank all you
hotsy-totsy Flowers of the Bouquet for six copacetic years and look
forward to a humdinger seventh year!!!!
