Shabby Chic Tea Party~

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since we've had a "virtual" tea party. This one has a shabby chic/pink theme, and you're all invited - so, let's go!

We'll start by decorating with antique roses, candles and pearls.
 
 
...and maybe a pretty white bird cage filled with flowers or cupcakes.
 
 
I love this idea - take "shabby chic" paper and roll into cones. Fill with tiny sweets for party favors.
 
 
Tea in lovely vintage tea cups, of course!


Finger sandwiches, fruit and cookies
 

Another great idea - an ice bowl filled with sherbet.


...and a special cupcake for everyone to end the day!

 
Thank you for stopping by...I hope you enjoyed the party!
Until next time,
Cindy

A Trip to the Antiques Barn


My sister and I took a spur-of-the-moment drive on Monday and found ourselves at an antiques shop/barn filled to the brim with antique furniture, glassware, lamps, and almost any other type of vintage treasures you can imagine! It would actually take several trips to see it all. I loved this cast iron pig planter!


 A couple more pictures of the inside - this is only a tiny portion of what's there!



This is what I came home with - a set of two vintage tea cups/luncheon plates (crumpet set) - both for $5.00! They're stamped "Made in Italy" on the bottom, but no other markings. There's a tiny chip in one of the cups, but I bought them anyway because I just love the colorful design, the shape of the plates - I love everything about them!
