Tea at the Prairie Cottage

You're never to old to dress-up and have a tea party.
I've always loved tea parties, as evidenced by the fact that most of my birthday parties involved a tea party.
doll tea parties
princess tea parties
a Miss Moon tea party

{did anyone else read the Tea Party of Miss Moon by Princess Mary Thurn-Taxis when they were little?  I don't remember much about it actually, but my mom loved the story and gave me a Miss Moon themed party when I was little.  Probably four-years-old.  My two older cousins even dressed up as some of the characters:)  But I'm heading down a rabbit trail here...}

I had the pleasure of attending a beautiful tea party at the Prairie Cottage, Rebekah's house (known as Wild Rose on my blog)

Before taking tea, we strolled about the beautiful yard...


And took many pictures...of course;)


Rebekah cut a gorgeous bouquet of flowers for our table.


I love dandelions.  I've never thought of them as weeds.  They're too beautiful and amazing.

With such beautiful green grass, a photoshoot seemed in order...



Rebekah and I - it was perfectly delightful to finally meet you, Rebekah!




And the beautiful Kellie...


always adorable


Kellie and Rebekah





Um...all I'm gonna say, is she started it.
;D


Lovely Rebekah


Isn't her hair beautiful?!




......Rebekah................Tasha................Kellie......





have you ever tried to blow a dandelion while you were laughing?


it doesn't work very well


finally, success


Rebekah did it in one take...



And, after our cheeks all hurt from laughing and smiling so much, we went inside for our tea party...


This had to be the most delicious tea party I've ever been to.

Hallo! Why all these cups? Why cucumber sandwiches? Why such reckless extravagance in one so young? Who is coming to tea?

Rebekah, everything was absolutely wonderful!!
Thank you so much for inviting me:)



I hope you all had a wonderful day!

P.S.
My family and I are on a short trip to Yellowstone right now, but the camp ground has WiFi, so I'll still be in touch. :)
I'll be sharing pics when I get home.
Happy Trails, y'all!
