a garden tea party.

We weren't planning on blue skies for Ashlyn's birthday party, since the last month has been drizzly and gray for the most part.  But what do you know?!  We woke up and there was nothing but blue skies!  So we quickly moved the white drop-leaf table outside and set up all the food out there, and kept all the craft projects inside.  

You know I was a little nervous about this one, but the girls were all darling and seemed to have such a fun time!  Ashlyn was a huge helper for this party and we made lots of happy memories together while getting it all ready.  I love you, my girl!

Our cakes got a little stuck in the pans, so there were a few giant holes in the sides!  It sure was yummy though, even if it wasn't a real looker!  Lemon cake with lemon curd between the layers and a lemon cream cheese frosting: Ashlyn's favorite (and Jimmy's too)...

My friend loaned me her cute little mismatched tea sets she picked up at the thrift store a couple years ago for her little girls birthday party.  I think that's a perfect way to go for little girls or really for anytime.  That way if one gets accidentally dropped, everyone can still be happy :)

check out that perfect teacup-holding form--just look at that little finger.

we had lots of buttons and tulle and pompom and paper for them to choose from, to make their very personalized party hat.  a few of those jellybeans and licorice pieces even ended up on a couple!

If you would like me to brainstorm your next party, I charge $40 for a brainstorm session. 
This will include ideas for the favors, invitations and agenda for one theme.  It will not include actual favors and invitations--just ideas for you to implement.  I will help you in coming up with a theme, if you don't already have one.   
If you would like to purchase the full party kit for the garden tea party, I charge $150.
This will include 10 invitations, the full party agenda, 10 bird houses and paper supplies, 10 little-bags-of-gumballs party favors, the template and directions for making the bird garland, 4 packages of ready to hang dot garlands, the form and supplies for 10 party hats, the menu and recipes, a shopping list and to do list.
