First, for my few readers who may not know what a Derby Girl is...my sisters and I and our daughters were skiing together a few years ago and decided we needed a name for our "club" and somehow we came up with Derby Girls...we get together about every month or so for some kind of fun activity...of course, we invited our Mom to join and now as we have started adding daughters-in-law and granddaughters, they join in the fun, too!
This last week was our Derby Girls' Tea. We decided that celebrating around the Kentucky Derby was a good idea, especially since my Mom and sisters and I have all actually lived in Kentucky! We also took a cue from the Derby and made sure we all wore hats.
Here is a close up look at the hats...

Cheryl wins for having the best themed hat, with an authentic pinewood DERBY car attached... |
and here are the ladies wearing their hats!
Colleen set a beautiful table on her patio...
and she has worked tirelessly planting beautiful flowers for all of us to enjoy! She also photographed flowers and made us all bookmarks and left them on our plates...
Everyone made up one or two delicious recipes to enjoy and put on the last minute touches
in the kitchen...
and then took our beautiful food outside!
It was all delicious, we ate until we were beyond full, and we
all had a great time, except for missing our Texas Derby Girl, Jessica!
I will close with this last picture of our oldest and youngest Derby Girls!

So fun! Thanks for posting-I love the hat picture--we watched The Preakness this afternoon-I think we need a Derby Girl outing to the horse races--after all it is all about the fashion (and the food of course!)
You gals all look fabulous, and the food, as always look scrumptious. What I miss most about Utah is these little lunches so thanks for posting pics for me. It really helps me feel like I am still part of the group.
