Carissa's Birthday English Tea Party







Carissa's lovely guests. I read poetry to them while they ate. I talked about how to make the perfect pot of tea. I educated them on loose tea, tea bags, and tea strainers. They even got to sample some loose tea from China, that my aunt brought back for me when she visited China. After the main course they filed into the kitchen to decorate their individual cakes. That was a sight to see, with their aprons on, and their attempts to frost a cake. What fun!! Then played dress up with costumes, did a skit, and danced around the living room. At the end, they decided to top the day off with watching the movie "Felicity".

I bought some appliques and canvas bags at a local store. I thought about using them as goody bags but they were just a little too plain. My creative juices began to follow...I said to myself, I can sew in a lining, pocket, and embellishments. I think they came out nicely.
