Teaparty with pirates and more

Weellll, what can I say, sometimes everyone does something wild and dareing. And so did I this week. I invited a very mean scary pirate over for tea... You know a clumsy rough tough guy... I made a few cup cakes and prepared the table... It looked great!! I put out my best china and favorit lace tablecloth (a recent thrift find) Decorated (or tried to anyway) a few cupcakes. The frosting was a little runny. I must have used the wrong kind, but they were tasty and looked good nonetheless... Well, beware ladies... Here he is...


Though, by the end of the party I must say he turned out to be quiet a charming young man.

You ask what was the occasion?? Well, I haven't seen the face of my dining table for about 2-3 months... It was hidden under heaps of paper, fabric, lace, sewing machine... and whatnot little knick knacks I find and don't put away. Mind you, not that it has been now put away... I just moved it from the dining table to another table... LOL....Yeah, found a card table and put it in the corner of the room so I could keep the dining table cleared up but still have my sewing machine ready to play. All the stuff is now piled over and under the card table. :o)

Now, I can enjoy my lace tablecloth and some of the roses from my garden on the dining table.

And to prove that my new crafty corner works just fine, I made a couple of tea cosies. The blue one is now on sale in my Etsy Store.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. We finally see the sunshine after 4 continous days of clouds and rain showers. We have a busy week comming up. My boy is going to turn 5 years old this thursday... Boy, seems like yesterday... he was only a couple of inches tall and less then 10 pounds heavy... Now hes turning 5, and already half my height.

I guess that's it for today...

Its a good feeling to be able to see your table top again. I started using card tables a long time ago and couldn't live with out them now. They sure save a lot of clutter from having to be moved from one place to another!

ps- scary pirate!!

awww, how could a pirate that cute not be sweet? Especially after eating one or two of those cupcakes!

Love your tea cozies too.

Sonia, I know how any table big enough can be a magnet for stuff sometimes!! Your tea party reminded me of the baking day my grandson and I had with my Easy bake oven! Isn't it grand how the litle guys try to please our girlish ways ? Lori

What a handsome swashbuckling little pirate! I'd love to have a tea party like that sometime. Your table looks beautiful ~ hope you do better than me at keeping it that way. My hubby finds it a real fun thing to crud up my table the minute he finds a clean flat surface! :0)

Hi Sonia!!!
I was just going back over my Tea Party Post and wanted to check up on you! And what are you doing BUT having A TEA PARTY!!!
Your son is now 5 years and one week!
****Happy Happy Birthday # 5****
He looks like a fierce pirate..."savy"? But those big blue eyes give him away!!! Littlie boys(sons) have a very special quality about them. I wish many many blessings for him and to you also!
I must say-thanks for the card table idea! You should see my dining room...very prettily filled up with my daughters vintage fabrics and banners.
With Kindness,
Mary
