Unlike my elegant birthday bash, she opted for a quiet event. Heather and I had planned to take her to tea at a newish place in the West Village on President’s Day, but her day ended up a little too crammed with appointments and errands, so we switched it up for tea at my place. I had so much fun putting everything together! Happy birthday Nicki!

My version of cucumber sandwiches (over whole wheat crackers)
