My Fave Spot in La Creperie
{Blissmakers Tea Time: My favorite corner that afternoon}

Make it Blissful, formerly known as Dainty Mom, is the blog of Martine. She recently rebranded it to expand the range of inspiration. From a personal blog on motherhood, it now is an online community for inspired, meaningful living.

Bonjour

Blissmakers of Make It Blissful came together a few weekends ago at La Creperie, New Manila. It was such a wonderful afternoon meeting all these fun and sincere women! I’ve already met some of them in person (Martine, Ginger, Tina), so it was a pleasure getting to meet other blissmakers for the first time. We were together for a meet-up and a pictorial, and it was super fun!

La Creperie Menu

La Creperie New Manila’s second floor was the ideal place for us to get together. It was light, airy, private — a perfect venue for women to chat, giggle and have yummy crepes and tea (hot chocolate too!).

Salidou

This crepe is called the Salidou. It’s one of the classics of La Creperie, and one of my favorites. Salidou is a crepe with salted caramel. Simple and scrumptious. I had this with a cup of Silvermoon tea.

While we blissmakers enjoyed our crepes and hot drinks, we each had our pictures taken professionally for our contributors’ profile pictures for Make it Blissful. I’m not used to having my pictures taken professionally, so this was such a treat!!! I was feeling awkward and shy, but just channeled the energy to excitement. Positivity, positivity!

While Mary Ann took our professional pictures, we passed around our iPhones and cameras for even more smiles to capture the awesome afternoon.

    Thank you for this wonderful post, Toni!!! I love it, and the photos are gorgeous. What a marvelous way to capture that lovely afternoon.

    Thanks, too, for being a Blissmaker with me. I’m blessed and humbled, since you’ve been one of my blog-spirations from the start. Big hugs — and coffee, soon, OK?!
