Thank you to Laura of that fabulous, beautiful and funny blog, Decor to Adore, for hosting a bevy of parties in honor of the British couple, Prince William and Catherine, soon to be wed. If you haven't heard about this wedding, then you must still be buried under a mound of snow. :) Just click here to see all the amazing parties, some Royally Scrumptious and some, fit for a Queen. Why there is even a real live party for those that are so fortunate to live nearby, an ugly bridesmaid dress contest, a white elephant wedding gift contest, bad hat party and prizes...really super royal prizes. It's not too late to join in the fun so get on over there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to my party....... a party honoring the Queen Great Grand Mum. Huh? There is no Queen Great Grand Mother you say. Well.....let's just pretend. Let's just skip ahead and pretend the now married royal couple have had a royal baby and today I am giving a
"Royally Scrumptious" Tea Party
welcoming the new baby into her royal world.
(I am assuming it's a sweet baby girl so I could do pink :)
It's an afternoon dessert tea party
So take a breath from today's busy world and join us in the hospitality and civility of a tea party. Calm conversation over fine bone china, etched with delicate pink roses, sweet vintage ceramic baby shoes, delicate old crochet lace, miniature roses, and pink sweet treats, all preceded by elegant written invitations to a few intimate friends.
A centerpiece of deep pink miniatures roses wrapped in a delicate old embroidered doily is surrounded by sweet confections of pink and white cupcakes with extra sprinkles and flanked by tall elegant old candlesticks.
Delicate vintage gold trimmed plates and cups, etched with soft pink roses , just wait to be filled with tempting sweet pink treats. Wonderful old linen tea napkins side with tiny vintage baby spoons, here used as our tea stirrers.
I am so honored to have you visit my virtual tea party. The sweet rose dessert plates, teacups, and candelabra are from The Vintage Nest shop and have sold. The charming vintage floral decorated sugar cubes can be found here but being vintage they are just pretty for display...not to use. Cupcakes and roses from the local grocery store. The pretty embroidered and crochet pieces, old tea pot, cake plate, vintage silver sugar spoon and sweet vintage baby shoes are from my collection.....a collection of shoes I started when my own grand-daughter was born. A collection now numbering about 35 and growing.
I am also joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday. If you love pink you will think you have landed in a swirl of cotton candy at this party. From New York city to L.A., pink on Saturday is what's happening. And new for me this week, I am thrilled to join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for her famous TableScapes Thursday, a weekly setting of beautiful table settings for entertaining and everyday living. Thank you Susan.
See you next time. :)

Hi Lynn - The royal couple must be expecting a princess with all the pretty pinks. Everything looks lovely - and oh my gosh - who would save those beautiful sugar cubes for so many years? Amazing. What a neat find. xo Nancy
I love those sugar cubes -- they are truly special. You have lovely things! I do covet those plates and cups (which you say have sold!)
I like that little tray of sugar cubes, they are beautiful. I still have my son's baby shoes, worn by each. I always enjoy coming to your post, it has such lovely things. Thank you for coming by and have a nice week finding vintage items, that I am sure we will see.
Your tea is lovely, Lynn! The tray of sugar cubes is so pretty! Thanks for sharing and thanks for tea.

Hello Lynn, oh my, those sugar cubes are just the best. Your table is so nice and pretty, love the tea and the sweets. I think it's a great idea to have the crochet work around the potted rose bush, that is so pretty.
Happy Pink Saturday, Char
I simply had a blast at your virtual tea party. I especially enjoyed the cupcakes. The tables were decorated with elegance. The sugar cubes are to die for!!! And I adore the pink shoes.

Lovely tablescape, and the personal touches that you have added...the sugar cubes, the babyshoes...definitely kick up the design quotient by a number of notches. So well done! Thank you for sharing your beautiful table. Cherry Kay
What a fun visit for Pink Saturday! I still remember when Diana married Charles - my children and their friends were quite enthralled and would have loved these kinds of parties. Nowadays, life is busier and my grandchildren haven't gotten into it all. But I have to admit, I do enjoy reading the headlines about it now and again. And I LOVED your cute decor for your tea party. Thank you for a delightful visit. :)
WOW, I don't know where to start. I love it all, but the sugar cubes are the best. They look so yummie you would never want to use them anyway.
Happy Pink Saturday
Hugs and Warm Wishes, CindyLew
Loved the tea! Thanks for sharing. Happy Pink Saturday!

Carol
