Hello.

Thanks for stopping by my humble little blog! This is me. I love to wear jeans. My hair is in a pony tail about 90% of the time... okay, 99% of the time! And I love, love, LOVE photography. When I get hired to photograph a wedding or a newborn... I literally get giddy with excitement because I can hardly wait to meet with new clients and share my love of photography with them.

My sister threw the most FABULOUS tea party for her daughter yesterday… I just had to share! 

A “K” for Kylee… Made out of cupcake liners! 

Beautiful cake done by Cakes by Heather…

Adorable free printable food tags found at: Glorious Treats

Paper lanterns from Luna Bazaar…

And check out this super cute button art butterfly that she made!  I found the frame at a local antique store.  :)

She also made this little cake stand out of felt and ALL this felt food!  Each of the girls got to take home a couple of the felt cookies in little “doggie bags” for their dolls. 

She also made these darling silhouettes of Kylee and her American Girl doll…  AND sewed an outfit for each girl to take home for their own doll!The table was set with china found at Goodwill (we found a full set for less than $30!) and each girl had a mini tea cup for their doll…The birthday girl with her Samantha doll and her new Rebecca doll (that arrived at the party a little late – as a surprise!)…Cute craft the girls made… decorating their own flower pots and making flower pens…Last, but not least… Freeze dancing!  Always a party favorite!  :)

    This is a beautiful party! Were the mini tea cup and saucers also purchased from Goodwill? I am trying to find some for my daughter’s party. Thank you.
