''... Lets have a tea party like the grown ups do ... we'll have the finest tea and fancy cookies too ... we'll go around the neighbourhood inviting everyone ... lets have a tea party ... won't it be fun... '' won't that inspire you ... its one of Sarah's songs I stole ...;);)
... and yes, this post is completely dedicated to all my readers who silently enjoy my blog ... THANKYOU SO MUCH ... and everytime one of you gets inspired to leave me a comment ... believe me ... like I said in my last invite post ... it is really a ''Oh! my Gosh I never knew who all are reading my blog '' ...
... so even though my garden was not all pretty and perfect ... moment the flowers began to bloom ... I had to do this post ... I sooooooooooooooooo enjoyed it ... and my kids ( who finally actually had a tea party ... complete, with "can I have a spot of Tea ,please" ... oh! those lil' Tinkerbell's ... :)) ...
...here is my version of a dreamy tea party in the garden ... a lot of matter of factly people say ... aaaah! is it really practical .... ssssssh! ... :):) ... it doesn't have to be ... lets sit ... lets talk ... long sweet nothings ... lets have tea ... and lets forget the rest of the world for the moment ...
... pull out your tea service ... mix match ... co-ordinate ... it 's a lot of fun... than ... a perfectly matched everything ... I even layered the table covering ... the uneven folds ( I love doing that ) ... especially tissue and organza fabrics can really add the lovely waves on your table if you sort of ... pile them on ... :) Plus the transparent-sheer fabrics over any table cloth ... Hmmm ! feels fun to do ... :)
... pansies ... a lil' additions out of pure whim ... and right out of my garden ... ( are you thinking my garden is loaded ) ... ;);) ... hell no ... just these few and some baskets of petunias ...
... If you enjoyed being over for tea with me ... I am going to wait to hear from you.Don't be anonymous any more drop by and tell me more about you... here's inviting you over and excited to hear from you.
For all my blogger friends ... here's inviting you all to join me by linking in and lets spread some fun over tea time ... ;)
