i start each day barefoot by the sea...
today i am wearing flowers in my hair for the tea party...
mermaid #1 - acrylic on canvas 20'x24"
and my little dragonfly friend helped me drink my tea this morning...
then i came home and put on my party hair and makeup...
invited a few friends and off we went to visit the other partiers...Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here
we should dance.
the fanciful miss has invited us to a tea party...
i picked some pink roses...
have brewed my fave tea - Latitudes Rooibos - YUMMMMMMM
a blended african red bush superior grade blended with apricot, mango, peach, marigold flowers, and red currants.,,,excellent for iced tea as well....
my fave tea cup is filled to the brim...
the magic moon

and sunflower cupcakes...
cupcake from kuidaore
The topping, a Whipped White Chocolate & Lemon Ganache using Valrhona Ivoire 35%, is both delicious and very easy to make. It is also a real joy to handle, and the ideal texture for piping - tinted a golden yellow, it makes for a rather fetching sunflower design.
and the paper wrapped tea sandwiches

i have tossed a fanciful salad...
YUM!!!and gathered fruit galore...
and created a few hors d'oeuvres...
there could be pink champagne on ice...
served in flirty girl glasses

WOW! I love your blog...I don't know where to begin..except maybe sipping tea at dawn on the beach! I'm in the mountains...come by and visit me! I love your favorite tea cup! Delightful!
It was a pleasure to take tea with you! Wow, my Dear - You've been busy and such a fine table. Thank you for being the most wonderful hostess and sharing the secrets of your success!

and, as a total aside...go back to my blog and click down by the "you might like these stories" and it will take you to a place called Linkedin (I believe) they will tell you how to sign up for their service, which is free...and I just posted this code into my blog posts on my customize page...although, I think they have directions on their site...good luck!!
Hi! Your tea party is gorgeous! I am so jealous you can have your tea by the ocean, but I'll take comfort in the mountains that I can see here at home. Thank you for visiting me--my party won't begin until later this afternoon, but I hope you can make it.
