These gorgeous tea tag creations, made by Marcia Pilar, were my inspiration for this Special Occasion Tea Party Table
The tags feature incredible details, tiny punched out patterns and glittered corners, and I wanted to incorporate them into an elegant setting~
A lovely tea is perfect for many occasions, Valentine’s Day comes to mind this time of year… but a tea is a great way to celebrate a lot of different things, birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day
Many parties revolve around flowers, and sweets and fanciful things…
I decided to just get some fancy out and set a little tea table, with sweets and hearts, silver and flowers, and my gorgeous “tea tags”
Pull up a chair and I’ll pour you a cup
Caramel Truffle Tea is on the menu today
with crisp buttery almond cookies
and Salted Caramel mini cupcakes from Fresh Market bakery
Big fat strawberries
Dean & Deluca Chocolate Peanut Butter Toffee
mmmmmmmmmm
You don’t have to have huge bouquets of flowers
With just a few blooms here and there you can create magic
Also when you mix good faux flowers with real ones, they tend to seem real too, like the roses and hydrangea in the photo above [far left]
There are sweet treats and eye candy everywhere
This table is for my sweet sister Janet’s birthday tomorrow…she lives in California and since I can’t be with her, I am celebrating with her virtually~
Happy Birthday Jan, I will drink some tea and eat a sweet in honor of your special day!
Sending you hugs and birthday wishes
and lots of love
