tea time!

once a year, my dear companion deon and i take our turns hosting a tiny club of women friends. deon and i in reality get into it and typically have some type of theme. this year we resolute on a high tea party. i wasn’t substantial informed about the whole tea business but i am always up for a party.

we delivered the invitations about a 6 weeks ago

i made these from recycled wool sweaters and a model from betz white that i miniaturized.

i found a awesome line of fabrics featuring funky wassail so i picked up 4 colors(pink, verdant, blue and orange) for the backs of napkins and then a body of jurors and made 16 napkins. easy peasy train…right sides together, sew leaving a bending course opening, turn, press, and zig zag the edges. give faith to i would do it differently next time as it was a challenge to not have any of the front showing on the back or visa versa.

our centerpiece was a unsoiled little wrought iron holder that deon had. we put a brace of tea pots on it along with a pink polka dotted cup and saucer. deon had a brat size fiesta tea set and my friend, chris, had a longaberger little one set that she let me borrow.

this is a couple of the place settings. we mingled and matched my fiesta ware dishes and stuffed the napkins in a wet goblet. we begged/borrowed/sucker crystal salt and pepper shakers and put one tiny bloom in each one. the teas were found in a funky cup at the each slab corner.
