Garden Party

Well, a few months ago we had our 2nd annual "girl party" for all the girls in the family.  Not everyone was able to make it, but we had a good time anyway.  Stoyan was awesome enough to help me with the invitation.  I knew what I wanted, but was unable to do what I wanted so I am very grateful to have an artist in the family.  The invites turned out cute, I thought.  This year's theme was a "tea party", but we don't drink tea, so we decided to call it a "garden party" but, my garden is pretty dead and non-existent this year, so it was a "garden party" in the living room.  Maybe next year we can have it in a real garden... maybe.



Some of the girls all dressed up.
(When I throw a party I don't think much about taking pictures, so we didn't get everyone in the picture.)



The tablecloths were my old curtains, the runner was a scrap of cloth that is waiting to be used on a skirt, the vase... a mason jar. Yes, I was pleased to go cheap and still be cute.
More fabric scraps for the table top.  The mismatched tea cups and saucers
are from a thrift store.  Stoyan thinks it's gross to drink out of pre-used cups, but I washed them really well. :)


Too many sweets! But it was tasty!

The girls decorated hats with ribbon and hair clips
(the flower can be removed from the hat and used as a hair clip)

We drank lemonade and flavored it with raspberry or kiwi syrup.

Victoria got cream on her snout
