Nellie's Colorful Tea Party

Want to know a secret?

My sweet little granddaughter just turned 4.
{Keep in mind I am a mother of three SONS!}

We invited all the local royalty  to celebrate

with a Tea Party.

{By the way, Nellie wore her great-grandmother's jewelry at the party.}

I made some of the decorations in advance & 

I'll link you to the posts about them.

{For instance, CLICK HERE if you want to read

about the pink mirror in the photo below.}

Here's my sweet Nellie sipping Jones soda.

To read about how I made the 

teacup centerpiece, CLICK HERE.

{PS - the little teapot in the foreground is from 

TJ Maxx. I was able to find green, blue,

& orange & they were only $5.99 each!}

I bought the large picture frame {below} at our local 

thrift store {D.I.} for $10 & sprayed it pink.

It made a great "photo booth"!

We {and of course when I say "we" I mean Hunny!} 

hung it from the tree, because we knew it

would probably be too heavy for the girls to hold.

By the way, if you're having a tea party for 

little girls, I recommend getting help from

some older girls with lots of energy!

Chloe & Bailey were so great to dress up

& help keep the little princesses happy.

Here's the adorable Princess Brinley . . . 

I just love this turquoise mirror. 
It's another thrift store find.

of the mirror & how I made the 
colorful pendant on the fence.

For the sandwiches, I called the bakery & asked

them to make pink, green & blue bread for me.

They asked if I wanted it bright & I said "Yes!".

I had pictured a green a little darker than mint.

Well, when they said "bright", they meant "bright"

as you can see in the photo below!

{I wish I'd been more specific.}

I just love these striped & polka dot straws -
ordered from Shop Sweet Lulu. So fun.

which we hung from the trees,

{Hint - it used to be brass - I paid $10 for it!}

Happy Birthday 
my little princess!
