Fairy Tea Party


Eleanor has been spending a bit of time with her nana.  I love seeing what they get up to when they've been hanging out.  Freshly baked loaves of bread, water colour paintings, and in this case - a spread of fine, tiny food for some little wee friends.


Too much sweetness.

Dollhouse Alphabet

Argh!  I would make a miniature version of everything in the world, if I could!  Did you read The Borrowers when you were little?  I think that's where it began...  Can't wait to read those books to Ellie and Garland.


A bit of washi tape was all it took.  Ready for their dollhouse now.

It was all about the treat table...

For me anyway.  The rest of the party planning was like this; "oh, we'll play pass the parcel, we still have the parcel we didn't use for her last party... And the kids can all just play.  Kids like playing..."  For me, the thoughts, the dreaming, the planning & preparing was all based around that little treat table (oh and the favours, but I'll get to those soon).  Mini food, it kills me.  Months ago I decided that her party would be all about mini food, which I am tempted to buy every time I step out to buy groceries.  I just like mini stuff.

Behold the mini food:

Then there was the cake.  I have a friend who designs and makes the most amazing cakes, and I'm afraid to say that my little efforts are absolutely nothing in comparison.  But, I was quite happy with how this little one turned out.  I figured that I'd just make use of my drawing skills for the cake design, and it was quite fun seeing what I could come up with.  I sort of recreated a scene from the book, but in a very basic way...
