Visions of a Tea Party


Last Sunday the gray skies cleared, the threat of rain disappeared, and the day dawned gorgeous for our very first Garden Tea Party in Maine! The girls wore their matching dresses....with doll dresses....and could hardly contain their excited giddiness over the grand event. It's the kind of thing that makes little girls' heads swoon...and this tea party-baby shower surpassed all their little girl tea party dreams!




This is Mandy above, our lovely and inspired hostess. 
She orchestrated the party for her sister, Sarah....


Sarah, the radiant Mama....and Mama-to-be again....posing with her daughter, Evie. 
Our girls found a doll and dress to match Evie's as well, and she hardly let her dollie out of her sight!


So let's get this show underway, shall we? First the decor and groupings. Mandy always makes these outdoor festivities at the Post Farm beautifully countrified and lovely....from harvest parties to surprise anniversary celebrations....and now to tea party showers! She has such a special touch...

The Gifts...




Let's not forget the guests (and beautifully attired!)

The Guests...




The Post Family girls....


Mothers and Daughters....


Me and Asheley


Me and my girls


Sandee and her daughter, Hannah. 
(She also has 3 other darling daughters running around)


Sandee finds a sun hat....now she's officially ready to have tea!




Mandy planned for the boys of course. 
They had a hobo picnic...with the requisite hobo knapsack lunch hanging on a stick....




And some little girls can only handle so many frills and so much fun....


before they get totally tea-partied out!

What a perfect day....and the question just has to be asked: 
When do we get to do it again??
