A Birthday "Tea" Party :)



Our littlest "charmer" turned 5 yesterday :)


So we decided to host a "Tea Party" on the patio to celebrate.


We brought a little table and chairs outside.  Layered up the linens and added "chair covers"...green...


...and pink.


I've been collecting these sweet vintage linens since before she was born.


"Real flowers"...of course ;)


We added place cards on old hinges...


...and invited a friend.


On the Menu...
1.  Vanilla Yogurt and Strawberry Parfaits...with sprinkles.


2.  Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwiches...cut with little flower cookie cutters.


3.  Brownie Bites with Frosting...and more sprinkles.


And instead of real tea, we had what we called "Pink-a-ccinos"
(steamed milk with strawberry syrup and pink whipped topping)
As you can see by that face...they were a hit :)


Thanks for the visit, have a great day!!

Chat soon,

  7. She is so cute in her princess dress. I will be visiting my grands in Nashville and they are all about dressing up in their princess dresses.
