Country Living has some of the most beautiful photos. I love looking through their lovely images for fresh ideas not only for decorating but for creating memorable moments in life.
Suddenly, I am inspired to have a tea party.
Why not plan a tea party for Easter, Mother’s Day, or just to celebrate spring? Invite your mom, grandma, neighbor, daughters or granddaughters for an afternoon in the backyard or in a sun-filled room of your home.
Bring your “good chairs” outside on a sunny day!
Make pink lemonade, pink frosting for a cake and paint pink Easter eggs!
Use pink & white flowers for a feminine pink bouquet
Put flower packets on tables as party favors
Gather up your decorative roosters and hens and surround with Easter eggs
Cut up sandwiches into tiny triangles for afternoon tea-sized treats
Using your sweetest dishes makes a tea party very special.
I love these sweet bunny toile dishes (Smith & Hawken) — perfectly wonderful for Easter brunches and tea parties! 
I hope you enjoyed all the toile in the table settings, curtains and chairs! This post is included in Pretty Organized Palace’s Toile Party! Visit the party for more toile inspiration!
Happy Spring!

So wonderful! We always dine outside, if possible, for Easter. With all of our nice china, and everything – it makes the day more special! This year I think we will take our nice chairs outside, too – thank you for the inspiration! Cheers, Andrea

I love the tea party inspirations! We are in the process of selling our house, so I found myself driving aimlessly with my 16-year-old daughter while a realtor showed our home. When we found ourselves in Sherwood, Oregon, and discovered that The Lavender Tea House was still open, I was thrilled that my daughter wanted to share afternoon tea with me! The scones with strawberries were delicious, and we laughed at the cute, little gilded chair that wobbled under my daughter’s six-foot frame while we reminisced about the tea party my mother gave when the grandkids were younger. While the boys were out fishing, the girls prepared floral wreaths to be worn in their hair. We all practiced our best etiquette when we gathered for yummy treats and tea in the afternoon. Our little tea break in Sherwood inspired me to break out my finer dishes and surprise my daughter with tea after school some day. The trick will be finding my pretty things…most of our belongings are packed in boxes ready for a move! Thanks for the pretty photos! They are wonderful inspiration.
very pretty. I used to give and attend tea parties all the time in the mid nineties. I wonder what happened? They were so much fun and half the fun was waiting to see how pretty our table/surroundings were going to be. It was so much fun. Thanks for the memories.

I’m tying to think of something different for Easter celebration. A tea party would be a welcome change. Maybe some small quiches and various fruit.
I love the Smith & Hawken plate.
I also love Country Living magazine. There’s so many inspirational photos.
So pretty! I am off now to check out Smith and Hawken!
