Tea for Two

I wasn't even looking for new garden furniture, but when I came

across this set at a local shop, I just couldn't resist.

No, those aren't giant plants, the furniture is tot-size.

Ready for guests in my shade garden.

I'd like to say these pictures were taken in a nearby meadow, but it's actually our yard. 

After a week of heavy rain, the grass is lush and green.  And long.  Right now it's being mowed by our groundskeeper while I'm hard at work blogging.  Shhhhhhhh.   :@  

 As you can see, the set is a little rusty.  For now, I'm leaving it as is, but I may paint it

a fun color after looking at the chairs below from Anthropologie.

Hmmm, should I?

" Oh, yes."

I made funky polka dot chair pads to make sitting

more comfortable for little tushies.

This set was labeled as vintage, but I have my doubts.  I googled

children's wrought iron patio sets and found a very similar

set for $300.  Are they crazy?! 

(I bargained the dealer down to $34 for the three pieces.)

The teapot, cups and saucers are part of the set

I bought for $5 at Walmart.  I do have a darling vintage set,

but it would take me way too long to find them right now.

And I wanted to take pictures before it starts raining...again.

Now for the menu.

I think this cake would be perfect for a little tea

party with our grandchildren!

And if it rains.....

I've got just the spot in the kitchen for two special guests.

The cookies are in the oven.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
