1. Fancy teacups.
2. Curled pinkies.
3. An abundance of sugar cubes--even better with silver tongs.
4. Sweets--homemade not necessary.
5. Special guest Peter Rabbit who prefers a green snack.
When I arrived at my sister's house, where her four
granddaughters were visiting,
I saw little signs scattered here and there about a tea party.
Hint. Hint.
And so we had a grand one.
I adoe tea parties! This post made me smile, especially the curled pinkies :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

So lovely!! Little girls love tea parties! Well, for that matter, big girls do too!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I have had a tea party for my grands. I think I need to fix that!
A child's tea party is one of the best--especially when sugar cubes are available!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Definitely, not an Official Tea Party, without the curly pinkies.
ReplyDeleteMEMORIES!
What fun! I love tea parties. How nice that the kids let you join in. :) :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight, it is the simple things in life that make it so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! Even my 18 month old grand daughter is already on the bandwagon. Soo fun. Enjoy your week-end!

Wonderful. I haven't seen those biscuits (pic 4) for years.
ReplyDeleteFive great tips for a tea party! Lovely times for all--big and small. Have a nice weekend, Dotsie. ♥
ReplyDeleteDelightful! No reason not to have a little party quite often really. The little granddaughter looks quite happy with the whole idea.
ReplyDeletePodso,
ReplyDeletePrecious memories, indeed!
Fondly,

Thank you for giving permission to use store bought sweets. I like sweets and when I bake, I could eat it all. If I buy at the bakery for a get together, I buy just enough so I don't have sweets calling my name from the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love the pretty china and the curled up pinkies. I also will use store-bought sweets if I'm caught unprepared. My friends don't mind at all. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love seeing little girls set on the road to afternoon tea! Such a sweet post.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet (classy) memories. Oh, how I love little girls.
ReplyDeleteit's all perfect especially the sugar cubes! I haven't even seen any of those for ages and ages. Wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! The table was very charming and I had to laugh over the little hand with the curled pinkie! I can't wait to do this with my granddaughters. I used to buy little tea sets for my daughters, their interest in having tea parties didn't last long, however. Maybe I should have made it a bit more 'real for them as you and your sister did!
ReplyDeleteI am craving Milano cookies now!! ;-D

I, too, am having a tea party this week, but for big girls. Unfortunately I can't serve store goodies, as the big girls are my cooking buddies. I couldn't get away with it.
ReplyDeleteLove children's tea parties~ This looks very special.
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is this?! What a beautiful table setting and lovely teacups. I remember as a little girl there was a time when my mom used sugar cubes...you hardly see them being used that much anymore. They really add a special touch to a tea party table. And those delicious Pepperidge Farm cookies are one of my favorites!
