My FOUR Grand daughters have all played tea party. They are growing up so fast that just the two younger ones play now. I took a picture of a few of there tea party things I have collected over the last several years. There is a lot more, but this shows some of it.

I saw your tea area. What a wonderful grandmother you are. There is nothing like wonderful memories for our grandchildren. I don't think we are ever to old for a tea party!!!!!!!!!
blessings and thanks for letting us be a part of your world!

nancy, your blog is just so cute! It makes me happy :)
and I loooove tea parties. I didn't have the pleasure of really playing with tea sets until I moved out on my own. And when I got married, I made sure I bought a nice tiera for the wedding, just so I could wear it at my tea parties at home! Whenever I get a chance to have a friend or two over, I whip out the tea set, don my tiera and pearls and we set and chat. It's wonderful. I have tea parties for one often enough too, actually. And a few times I've forgotten to take off my tiera when I left my house!
My little girl is 15 mos now, but very soon we'll be having tea parties all the time! I'm excited!
Thanks for sharing!

Nancy....I was just hinting to the Activity Director yesterday about having "high" tea as an event! Must be the season. We are planning one for about 6 ladies (hats required!!) I bought some tea Forte (those cute little silk tea infusers, etc.) And, I plan on bringing my blue and white english china. I have been surfing the net for appropriate high tea "fare" and have come up with some awesome recipes for scones (which I have made many times), lemon drop cookies, clotted cream and lemon curd. I can't wait!!

I love tea parties! I even started a tea society, so I can have them all the time! I inherited all of my Grandmother's victorian china, and tea sets, and have used them a lot since. You can even have themed tea parties. I love the idea of pearls and hats or tiaras. I like to play "Big Hat Croquet" (everyone must wear a big hat!) We had one where a friend brought all these exotic teas, and we sampled them one by one. That was nice.
