Dressed For Tea!

Tea for little ladies...

For my granddaughter's third birthday my daughter hosted a little girls tea party. I decorated brimmed hats with roses for each girl to wear with their pretty party dresses. Each little girl received her own porcelain tea cup to paint at the party. The party favors were little purses filled with clear nail polish, white gloves, tiny soft stuffed bunnies, and some yummy treats. It was a lovely day and, to date, my favorite tea party! I included these pics for my week five posting for "Dressed To A Tea" Gracious Hospitality challenge because I think these precious little girls looked like little dolls at their special tea party!

Tea for grown up ladies...
My favorite jacket to wear to tea is this soft white lace.

These vintage pearls are just the thing to wear to a grown up tea!

I wear my Pandora bracelet anywhere special I go. My sister-in-law (and best friend) and I bought bracelets and one matching shell charm on a beach trip we took together in 2007.

I love these heels. Even though they are not vintage, they have a vintage feel. The color is pewter and they are covered with understated beading. Love 'em even though they hurt... sometimes pain is worth it!

Now really, have you ever seen more beautiful babies?

This gorgeous little creature is my new grandbaby, sweet Isabelle Kathleen, named in part for me. Her mother has nicknamed her "Mini Mimi" because this one actually looks like me! Isabelle, who loves to sleep and eat and would be happy to rest in the arms of someone who loves her forever, is the direct opposite of her sister.



The unstoppable Sydney, who is almost four, never eats, never sleeps, never stops talking and/or giggling, and lives to dance, twirl, spin, climb, chase cats, paint rocks, smell flowers, and hug trees! She is a true free spirited wild child - and absolutely delightful!
