I have a very special friend who loves tea so much that she organizes tea parties with her adult friends, attends tea parties, and now organized a tea party for her grandchildren and their friends. She was so nice to share this experience with me, so I just could not resist not to share it with all of you (with her concurrence of course). She is very talented and creative, and does not only make these special costumes for tea parties, but she also makes beautiful costumes for performances at the Northern Virginia Community College, and Diesels Films ( I will post a few pictures of these costumes in my future posts). Her tea party guests immensely enjoy these events, costumes, and stories that go along with each theme.
What a great idea for a party. Here is her short story, including the menu, and lots of pictures:
THE TEA WAS FUN. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE DECORATIONS. SYDNEY’S MENU WAS PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES CUT IN STAR SHAPES. EGG SALAD SANDWICH CUT IN TRIANGLES, AND CUCUMBER SANDWICHES CUT IN SQUARES. SYDNEY HAD A GOOD TIME MAKING THE SANDWICHES FOR THE PARTY. SHE HAD ORANGE SPICE CELESTIAL SEASONING TEA, PUNCH, AND JUICE, BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE LIKED TEA. THE SWEETS WERE LITTLE TEA CAKES, LEMON BAR COOKIES, CREAM SCONES WITH STRAWBERRY JAM AND WHIPPED CREAM. SHE ALSO HAD SOME GINGER COOKIES, AND CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES.
I READ THEM A STORY OF THE TOOTH FAIRY, WHICH THEY ENJOYED. ALL AND ALL WE HAD A GOOD TIME. THE NEXT TEA IS GOING TO BE PINK PRINCESS TEA PARTY.

1That sounds like so much fun!!! I would have loved this when I was a little girl. I hope these grandchildren realize how lucky they are to have such a fun grandma (and grandma’s friends) that puts so much love into this party. What a fun day!!!

2Teresa, thank you for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment.
You and me both…..I wish I had some fun parties like that…..oh well…..maybe we can slip back in time and enjoy these with our grandchildren. What also made this party special is that the granddaughter was assisting her grandma with the party food preparation. Fun memories she will have!
