tea time!

Mothers day got me thinking about my own mother and all the things she loves to do. Since I was very small she has taken me to see the nutcracker followed by tea. When I was young it was a tea party with the cast and when I was older it was to high tea at the Ritz or a similarly fancy hotel. Tea parties are the ultimate in femininity and a perfect idea for a little girls birthday party. With such fabulous flea markets everywhere these days, you could score beautifully vintage doilies or gloves or even china. I found items I think would make a beautiful place setting for a children's tea party!

this tea set is so delicate and dainty!

a perfect way to present gloves and handkerchief for each guest

gorgeous!

this cupcake tower is the perfect addition 

these are fresh peonies added to a classic chandelier. breathtaking!
