Little Girls Tea Party

My sister has been planning a Tea Party for her granddaughters and their friends for several months. The big even was held this past Sunday and I couldn't wait to share her phone pictures.  I know you'll enjoy.

So let's set the stage!

First up is the beautiful southern belle hostess....my sister Kimberly Gayle...

 

Her wait staff...

 

 

 

Co-host...Buddy.

 

 

A lovely day in May and a big southern syle porch and swing...

 

 

Tea cups, napkins and gloves....a must for an afternoon tea.

 

 

A lovely table setting for the little princesses....

 

 

Dainty and pretty cupcakes...

 

A pretty memo board to announce the affair...

And of course there are rules...

 

Fancy hats and pearls are a must...

Gloves and manners  are a requirement...

and, pink....lots of pink! 

 

 

 

And of course the guests...

and such lady-like behavior!

 

 

That is until the Hostess brought out the silly string...

 

 

 

 

Told y'all that you'd enjoy it.

Didn't my Sister do a great job.  She is a very special

Grandma....a "Glamour Grandma!"

Drawn to pretty things...

Do you ever wonder why you are drawn to certain things.  Why you like collecting them or why you just can't resist buying them.
I'm this way with pretty vintage slips and gowns. 

Our Moms and Grandmoms wouldn't be caught dead without a slip underneath their dress. 

 Lacy pinks, whites, creams....some with side slits, zippered...
Labels like Shadowline, Maidenform, Vanity Fair, Vassarett...

I remember watching my Mom sit in front of her vanity wearing her slip and putting on her makeup...

Slip fact:  Slips were made of rayon during the 1940's.  Because of the war rayon was the only fabric available.  It wasn't until later that nylon was used. 

Feminine, glamorous and so very girlie...

How about you...do you still wear a slip????

Making pillows and finding stuff...

Hello Sweet Bloggers!
Not much new going on around here.  Just checking on our home building process.  We are currently in the frame up stage.  I can't wait to move in but it will probably be another four months.

In the meantime I'm making pillows, finding and painting stuff and filling up my booths.

I gave this burlap pillow a little pocket holding a vintage photo and a fresh lavender bundle...

 Found this vintage mirror in another booth and a great piece to be used as a pediment...

 Wouldn't this be pretty hanging with a grouping of frames or on a piece of furniture or mantle...

 I gave this little table a new look by painting the top in a seacove blue.

It's the weekend so be sure and get out there and find something wonderful and share it with us.

~~hugs~~
