Tea Party Hat

I had the opportunity to go to a tea party that my friend hosted. All the ladies decorated and wore a hat! I did mine with cream silk roses, peacock sword feathers and delicate blush pink and cream silk ribbon roses. It was grand fun!

How enchanting.....

Weddings are just not what they used to be. To go back to a simpler time would just be dreamy. Don't you agree??? Oh if I could, I would....

And this, our life, exempt from pubic haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything. William Shakespeare

The pots are planted

The Italian rustic clay pots have been planted with sweet little johnny jump ups to greet guests by the front door.

Blooming tea cups

There is just a warm reminder of my childhood when I see a tea cup. My mother served it often and they bring me back to a simpler time. I love to incorporate them any way I can. The mounted tea cup on a whitewashed barn plank and the tea cup wreath were featured in Dovetales magazine. I was one of the magazine creative team, along with my sweet friend Jo-Anne Colletti of Vintage Rose Collections who put together a tea party in Jo-Anne's dreamy dining room.
