  1. How cute!!! I know that tea parties are a big thing with the young girls too. We even have a tea room in our tiny little town that is doing quite well, which is sort of odd, because some of the restaurants don't even do well in our area, but the Tea Room...it is surviving. I think it is the attitude and spirit that go along with the mood of having a cup of tea with friends. It looks like these projects have nailed that feeling!
