Yay! The Make Mine Pink Tea Pary has begun. I can't wait to check out all of the great tea parties going on around the world. I was so excited about this. The first thing I did was run out and buy this beautiful teapot. I didn't own one and decided that I NEEDED to have one!
I had so much fun with my kids preparing for this tea party. They wanted to be a part of it so we did it on Saturday and I decided to just make lunch out of it. My oldest daughter made the scones from scratch by herself and they were so good. She told me today she wants to open a tea cafe when she gets older. 
We made cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad with cranberries and celery on mini croissants, and quick and easy linzer tart cookies ( using store bought flower shaped sugar cookies and sandwiching them with raspberry preserves in the middle). I also served store bought mini bluberry muffins, shortbread cookies and chocolate dipped wafers. We had blueberry green tea with our lunch ( kid's pick). And it was so delicious. Of course we served everything on the dessert stands that I sell in my shop, but don't they make the table pretty? 
I loved how my kids came downstairs all dressed up for tea! It was really fun for everyone. I might have to make this a regular thing in our house. BTW, my husband was also part of the event, but came to the table in work clothes ( he was doing yard work ), so I chose not to photograph him!

What a wonderful tea party! Thank you for visiting my blog and YES...I too am messy when I am working, paper and glitter ALL OVER!
Tell your daughter that I would come to her tea cafe, those scones look yummy!
What a darling tea party. Can't decide which is cuter-the table or the children...it has to be the children!
Dawn, what a great reason to buy a teapot. I couldn't decide which one to use so I used my beautiful chocolate set I purchase from "My Vintage Charm". It looks so pretty anywhere I display it and make a wonderful centerpiece for my teaparty.
Adore the pics of the kids and the cookies looks wonderful. I'm still working on my Congrats cookie my DH bought me Saturday.
Have a great week.
