This was definitely not something the girls from Sex and the City would do. It's more something that the Golden Girls would do. But it was interesting. It was held in a Victoria house on the corner of 14th and Josephine just southeast of downtown Denver. For the price of admission you got to see about 20 tablescapes, have tea and a snack, and a look around this beautiful Victorian house. They were also selling arts & crafts throughout the house.
Some of the tablescapes had really neat themes, were really original (one table had a place setting the was identical to the Colorado state flag) and were beautiful. Although my friend's table (an Africa theme) didn't win a prizes from the judges I think it was one of the best ones there.
If I remember correctly, the top price was a table setting that consisted of genuine artifacts from caveman times and was called something like First Dinner. One table that won a people's choice award had a gnome theme. There was
Christmas themed one, a Halloween themed table, a table of all Campbell soup items and one that had an all chocolate theme. My second favorite, after my friend's, was a Tinkerbell inspired table setting. It won either 2nd or 3rd place by the judges.

So today was definitely something different and probably not something many people my age would do (without giving out my age, my friend and I were probable two of the youngest people there) but we did have a lot of fun.
