Birthday Party Tea and A Giveaway


As you may know, I am having a 
from
my daugher-in-law Audra's 
new online store which goes through
this Thursday at midnight.

She is extremely creative and I
love her personal style.


Today's tablescape is her table
for her daughter London's birthday 
party.  It was a beautiful 
Tea Party.

You can see how she set a gorgeous
table using wrapping paper covered in
sheet music running down the table.

Each place setting is created with a
blinged silver or gold charger and 
vintage tea cups and saucers.


An additional lace runner, flowers
and candies are perfect
for this quaint little girl
tea party table.


She used a fun mix of fresh and silk flowers
for the table and sideboard and pretty
cake pedestals stand ready for the 
lovely cakes.


Everything is just charming!


I love her collection of 
cake pedestals.  You can
count five here in this picture.
(If you know me, you know I 
have more cake pedestals than
I know how to store!)


The mix of chargers 
and plates and cups is enchanting.  Even the
napkins are a fun mix showing
that you don't have to have
everything match.


I especially love these polka dot napkins 
she used.




Audra had a couple of cakes, both ornamented
with fresh flowers and fruit.

This fabulous tall cake is simply filled
with frosting and then decked out 
with fresh flowers and strawberries.

It was finished off with the perfect
dusting of powdered sugar.


The sideboard is all girly delight
with striped straws, a crown overflowing
with pearls and another smaller cake
topped with more fresh flowers.





Here is the birthday girl 
posing for me.

I love the pink frame on the
sideboard with Audra's beautiful
chalkboard writing.


Each tea cup was filled with a
cupcake and fruit and cheese
along with other treats were served.


The tall cake was the crowning glory.

Happy Thanksgiving and a Great Giveaway


We had our turkey dinner Sunday
night so that most of us could gather
together.  


I had fun setting the table and the bar so that
we could all congregate in the same room.
When I have set the dining room table, 
nobody wants to go in there so I
put us all in the kitchen.


The little ones love having a fun table
set for them even though they never
eat much at family dinners.  They 
are having too much fun with each other.


I found these fun turkey plates
over two years at Tuesday Morning.
I now have 18 of them.


I have two kinds of salad plates
that go with the dinner plates.


It is always nice to mix and match 
when you are serving a crowd.


These cute crackle finish turkey
napkin holders sit on the plates.


Pewter goblets are great for the
little ones.  They feel so special 
drinking from a goblet and there
are no worries about breakage.


We brought out the good 
silverplated flatware to go
with all of the silver and pewter.
They have to be hand washed
but it is worth the effort.


Mercury glass pumpkins that were 
part of the home decor create the
centerpiece with a couple of
turkey soup bowls.

We have a large number of
the turkey bowls and often
serve soup or salad from them
but we were having a very
traditional meal this year so
they take center place on the table.
