I have teased and hinted about sharing my amazing birthday tea party my sweet friend Mary hosted for me almost two weeks ago....and need to get on that soon.......I promise!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
But I DID want to share her wonderful birthday gift to me!
Look at this lovely vintage Japanese birthday tea cup!
Isn't it gorgeous and amazingly FESTIVE?!?
She also tied on a lovely rose gold demitasse spoon
and wrapped it with these precious lacey vintage gloves.
She even put in that sweet pink satin rose!
She does everything like that- always full of detail and beauty.
I also wanted to share that my baby girl turned 30 today.
Happy birthday, darling daughter!
Also giving a big shout-out to my tea-sista-friend Suzette
whose birthday is tomorrow!

Here is one of my very favorite pics of me with my two beautiful girls.
It's a few years old, but still one of our best ever together.
That silly dreamy face I am making is simply Mommy Love Bliss.
Katie was visiting from Cali for a wedding her sister (standing) was in
and it was pure joy for me all of us being together that weekend!

The birthday girl is on the left.
She's my tomboy....but this is one of those rare times
seeing her in a girlie-girl pink dress with ruffles!

Now *that's* what I call a teacup presentation--perfect! (And Michele, you don't look old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter. WOW!)
ReplyDeleteMichele, where did your mother get that teacup? My mother got the EXACT same on when she was a little girl from her grandmother and I broke it when I was younger. It was very special to her and I have been trying to replace it for years! Please let me know :)
ReplyDeleteMICHELE:
ReplyDeleteI like your Birthday Tea Cup. Today I began to follow your blog. A good source for inspiration.
Happy Day !
