Tea for Two.
Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 6:00AM 
Yesterday afternoon, while Ryder napped.....
Ella & I dined like 'true ladies'.....
We had a tea party.
A tea party for two.
{Well.....two of us, plus a fluffy toy duck...of course!}
We sipped tea {juice} from real {mini} china cups.
We raised our pinky fingers and admired the view of the pool.
We snacked on lamingtons, jam drop cookies, gingerbread men, fresh strawberries & flower shaped sandwiches.
We conversed. And called each other 'Mrs Mezmarend' {at Ella's request!}
It was nice. Just her & I. Being ladies....
Moments like this, days like this....
Make me sad that she'll be starting fulltime school in only 6 months time.....
I'll miss our weekdays together....just hanging out, together.

Tea for Two, how lovely. It looks delicious. Remember Ava's Tea Party month is August for her birthday! A fantastic excuse to have another one :). I am sad too about all the things I will miss when Mia heads off to Prep next year. I can't believe how fast it's gone. I love all the adventures we have on the weekdays, just her and I and also the playdates etc with friends. Cassie x
What a sweet moment to have captured and what fun! I love the look on your face in the first shot like you're pondering how on earth to grapple with such a teeny teacup :) The flower sandwiches are a great idea x
I forgot to add... it's funny, I posted this morning about me starting to worry about how I only have 6 months left with Grace home full time - she's only at kindy part time next year though so I can SOOOO understand how you must be feeling about your gorgeous girl starting full time school next year :)
Hi I found your blog through Amandas (homely one), as I thought the bbokclub thing sounded like a great idea! I dont have my own blog but may join in! Where did you get that gorgeous tea set? My girls would *love* it!!!
From Cassie :)
How sweet! Do you ever get your hubby in on the tea parties? Living in a house full of girls, my Mister has had a tea party or two. haha.
Kmart has some really lovely plain white cup+saucer sets for just $2 each so we use those as they are easily replaceable in case of breakage
Hi Cassie, thanks for your comment :) yes please join in on our bookclub :) the theme this month is under the sea :) you can post photos to my Scissors Paper Rock Facebook wall or email me some to share on my blog if you'd like :) and...the mini pink tea set is from Big W and the larger pot I bought at a garage sale.
