Fancy Tea with my “Princesses”
Tea with my “Princesses”
Last week while my three granddaughters were here I thought it sweet that they had packed a separate suitcase with their fancy dresses in. They wanted a tea party while at Grandma Polly’s.

This summer I found these tea cups that are shown above, for a couple bucks at a thrift store. It is the same pattern of their great-great grandmother’s China. Great-grandma Alene’s mother Alma.
Mom these pictures are for you!Israel called me later asking me if I could guess what the girls enjoyed most about being at Grandma’s. He said I’d never guess. It was the afternoon I let them play outside and they pretended they were planting flowers and were playing in the ashes of the fire pit (getting really dirty)! I told Israel, “yes but they also like getting really clean and dressing up!
I’ve been in need of a new hand sewing project. This summer we’re planning on an extended trip out West and I want a project I can work on that won’t take a bunch of thinking.
Been playing with velvet and hexies and I think it’s gonna be just what I want to take along.

Your granddaughters are beautiful! And I love that they love dressing up and having tea parties with you! Velvet hexies – I have never seen them before; they look beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with them!
I’m curious. Do you sew them with right sides together, then turn them, or will you be putting them in a quilt? I’m curious, but they’re really pretty.
What grandchild would not want to come to YOUR house!! What sweet ideas and those kids are darlings!!!
Donna I had to think of you while I was working on these. I’ll be making some stars and some hexies and then plans are to join them in solid black. Maybe do a little thread work around the inner flower. This is a project that will take years and years and years. @piecedtreasures -
I LOVE the Flower Garden pattern.
Between Bonnie Hunter’s blog and her love for hexies, and now you working on your hexies in velvet, I am inspired to keep working on my project and get it finished in this decade!
Keep us updated on your progress!
I enjoyed the pictures of your pretty princesses.
How precious! Makes me wish that my daughters were that age again!
You are so creative in so many ways. What great memories for those little girls
