Our Canaries
I had no idea I was a bird lover until my mom surprised us one day by bringing home a box of little peeping ducks and geese. I fell in love and began learning everything about about how to care for them. It took no time at all for my mother instincts to kick in…

Ladybug High Tea
The Tables The main ladybug table was all red and black. Fortunately, I have a huge stockpile of black placemats. You’ll see where I had to mix and match napkins, plates, and appetizer plates. I absolutely adore those black and white check teacups. I found them at a Goodwill store. There were only three of…

Easter 2023
The Table The photo to the right is my Easter table from 2022 and the one just below that is 2023. You’ll see the difference in the Easter baskets at the place settings. The last photo below is of table number two. I normally don’t use that one during Easter but this year I hosted…

St. Patrick’s Tea 2023
The Table This year we went with black plates and gold chargers on the main table. You’ll see the yellow placemats on the second table below. I found some cool St. Patrick’s napkins this year at the Home Goods store. There are never enough for me but I collect them when I find them. I…

Valentine’s Tea Party 2023
The Table Since I never have enough heart teacups to go around, I mix and match with white, silver, gold, and pretty much anything else that will match the color scheme. This year I needed two tables plus my bar seating so I bought more heart place mats in rose gold. I was delighted to…

Apple High Tea
The Table Apples in the fall are a no-brainer, especially if you live in the northwest. We have some of the most delicious apples you’ve ever eaten and can you say HUGE? The biggest apple I’ve ever seen in my life, I found at a little farmer’s market. It was about the size of a…

Bumblebee High Tea
The Table I think the idea for a bumblebee theme actually came from the honey. I found this giant jar of delicious wildflower honey and I wanted to see what I could make with it. My favorite find to fit the theme were the outdoor bumblebees from Hobby Lobby which were on sale this time…

Watermelon Picnic High Tea
The Table I’m not sure which idea came first-the watermelon or the ants at the picnic-but I loved combining the two things together. Finding watermelon tableware was fairly easy at this time of year and I picked up plates, platters, and tablemats at various places, some from Wal-Mart, some from Hobby Lobby, and some from…

Flamingo High Tea
The Table Everything was pinkalicious for this tea party, from the top of the chandelier to the napkins and food! The adorable teapots were from Blue Sky Clayworks. I used the “Miss Precious” pot with the matching sugar bowl and creamer as well as their Pineapple teapot. The table is decorated with Flamingo statues from…

Fairy Garden High Tea
The Table Fruit, flowers, butterflies, bugs and everything sparkle is what’s required for a fairy garden tea party. Since I couldn’t find any fairy napkin rings, I used gold butterflies instead. My yellow butterfly placemats made a great table runner too! The teapots we used were my purple butterflies made by one of my favorite…
