Fairies sweet they will be, dancing under the bower, hung by a tree. Pink and swirling to and fro, Oh where oh where will these pixies go? "Colleen Mullaney
The granddaughters helped host a tea party and decided a Flower Garden theme would be nice.Every garden needs butterflies, and fairies! Here is one of my butterfly teacups. I love this set of teacups, the background color of each teacup is different.The teacups come in a set of six , they are labeled "CLASSIC, coffee & tea. Made In China ". I purchased them from Amazon.com. These are my most-used set of teacups because the grandchildren love them.
Our oldest granddaughter made these cupcakes all by herself. She told me to make sure the gummy worms I bought were NOT sour. After she baked the cupcakes she inserted a gummy worm into each one.
She frosted around the worms using a Ziploc bag with a corner cut out as her frosting dispenser.
She also set a tea table for the dolls. There will be six dolls for tea.
The granddaughters set the table outside under a pop-up shelter, it might rain or be too sunny and great-grandparents shouldn't sit under rain or the hot sun. The fairies danced and swirled over the tables.Notice the varied colors of the teacups. Little boys love the frog- green and pumpkin- orange colors.
Cupcakes, ice water with a skewer of blueberries and mint for delicate flavoring. Mint tea in the teapot under the tea-cozy. Barbecue potato chips to go with the sandwiches ~ egg salad, chicken salad, tuna, and the all time favorite, peanut butter & jelly.
Let the tea party begin! All 8 of our grandchildren enjoying a tea party with their great-grandparents and me, this is a true blessing to be savored and remembered.
A butterfly came for tea and fluttered around and on the nearby pink flocks throughout the day.
Each little girl took one of the fairies home and the 2 little boys took home a small teddy bear holding a butterfly.
Fairies, cupcakes, teddy bears, flowers and butterflies are special and sweet, but none are sweeter or more special than the children who dream about them , read and tell stories about them, then throw their arms around me and give me big kisses before they skip away to play with each other, my grandchildren, the most amazing little beings at the fairy -garden tea party.

The butterfly cup and saucer are perfect for a fairy garden tea party. The little fairies are so cute and your granddaughters are too! What fun and wonderful memories you are making with them.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your fairy tea! Your fairies are cute and your granddaughters adorable. I was at our Iowa State Fair recently and in the garden there is a little fairy garden with a fairy cottage. A little girl was bent down intently looking inside the cottage (presumably for fairies!) What fun!

That must have been a special afternoon, Kathy! You and your grands have such lovely tea parties.
ReplyDeleteDid you make your tea cosy? I have a bolt of that fabric, bought about 13 years ago, that is going to be turned into a slip cover.

So neat that the children took home a gift.
Lovely Table setting.
The cupcakes look delicious and I can pretend to be eating one right now! The first time i saw a gummy worm in pudding i thought it was such a neat idea. I have no imagination with gummy worms, but i snagged the idea and have fun.
