A TEA PARTY in honor of Tasha Tudor's Birthday

PINK LUSTRE WARE

was a favorite of

Beloved  Children's Book

 Illustrator and Author

 Tasha Tudor

( and also an inspiration for us to have a Tea party)

We are fondly remembering Tasha Tudor

and celebrating with a tea party

 on her Birthday!

Tasha was known for her love of tea.

(from a book called "Mother and Child" by Nell Dorr featuring Tasha and her children)

She was also known for her love of historical 19th century

clothing that she preferred to wear in her daily life

(isn't she just stunning and beautiful as a young woman)?

Grandidaughters, Ruthie, Lexi, and Natie

found three lovely brand new

dresses at the thrift store

and we thought that they would make

a perfect excuse to have a

Tea Party remembrance celebration!!

We all dressed in our finest "frocks"

and set out the most delectable of foods!

It was GREAT FUN!!

 

Mildred Mousiekin provided....

music from the parlor

and the dancing began!

Bare foot of course!

Photographing the girls reminded me of

the great and artistic works of Tasha Tudor's

Friend Nell Dorr

(a great roll model for my photography endeavors)

Missy joined the dancing too!

                                                                                                                                                                   And David danced before

                                                                                                                                         the LORD with all                                                                                                                                                his might;

                                                                                                                                        2 Samuel 2:14

                         

We enjoyed preparing for the Tea.

We picked flowers.........

 

                      

....and fresh Spearmint

                              was the choice for tea!

If whiffs of Fragrant Herbs

Could have a special tint,

How lovely would the color be

Above s bed of Mint.

MARGUERITE H. HICKERNELL

AND ELLA W. BREWER

We even picked berries for the punch!

(But beware!

Mr Stubbs is a most

devious party crasher)!

Mr Stubbs showed up and caused quite

a frightening scandalous stir!
