A Garden Tea Party

Here are photos from the Garden Tea Party for Angel. It's amazing how much effort goes into a simple party. It was mostly fun preparing for it. I woke up VERY early that morning and my mind was racing with all the things I still needed to do to get everything ready by that afternoon. I knew I wasn't going to go back to sleep, so I just got up and started doing things. It's rather nice being the only one up in a quiet house, while it's still dark outside. Very peaceful indeed.

So, shall I give you the tour?

Bubbles and nail polish for the young ladies to enjoy during the festivities.

They all loved having their toenails polished. We didn't do fingernails because they aren't allowed to wear it to school, so it was kind of pointless.

Afternoon tea set out for the girls to choose what they'd like to eat.

I bought this at the op shop. It's a bit yuk on the inside and is not salvagable to use for tea. I started out putting roses in it, but it leaks, so I put a pot plant in it instead and it now lives out in the garden.

We HAD to have roses for the tea party. You simply can't have a garden tea party without roses.

Marshmallow teacups. Yum! And so simple to make. They were a big hit!

I wish I had made more paper flowers, but I ran out of paper and time.

Of course, you can't have a birthday party without Cheezels. One on each finger.

Very special 'tea'.

The trampoline was a big hit with the girls. They jumped and twirled and threw around their feather boas. There were feathers EVERYWHERE!!! So colourful and so fun.

I made some bunting with fabric napkins that I sourced from op shops. It was my first time making it. Who knew it was so easy.

I put out Angels dollhouse for the girls to play with too. Those two playing with it in the picture had so much fun and stayed there for ages.

Oh, I must add that my darling hubby threw together this child height table last week after work. It was perfect for them to all sit around. It's WONDERFUL having such a handy husband. Thank you darling!

This was the only game they played...pass the parcel. There wasn't time to play any others as they were having fun eating, trampolining, doll housing, nail polishing and present opening.

She chose this birthday cake for me to make for her. I know you'll love it, but I'm not happy with how it turned out. I was in a rush and didn't do it properly. She loved it though, and that's all that matters!

Pressie time!

She LOVES opening presents.

Who doesn't???

My Angel, my Princess. All dolled up for a tea party.

She had a great time, which to me makes the party a huge success!

She's 6! Can you believe it? Where has the time gone???
