fit for a (small) queen

 I brought my sister a plastic tea set to have at her house for her granddaughters to play with.
 Of course we decided to try it out and do a tablescape on an old linen napkin of our mother's. By the way,  plastic cupcakes are the way to go. 
They are so beautiful to look at, but hard to digest.
 Love the colors and the sweet details.
 You can mix and match to your heart's content.
Very soon after, some of those little girls visited their grandma's house. When they talked to me on the phone the first thing the sweet little girls said was,
 "Thank you for the tea set you gave Grammie!"

  1. I like that you and your sister played with the tea set first. I love the tea set! The mix and match reminds me that, growing up, mother's every day dishes were Fiestaware in eight different colors. We loved mixing and matching them.

    Would you mind telling me where you got the tea set?

    Best,
    Bonnie

  15. Yes, things can start early. Love the tea set and the food...and the napkin. My girls used to love tea parties. One of them wouldn't even eat the tea because I thinked she liked it so much. Joni
