Many of you know that today is Tasha Tudor Day! In honor of her birthday....
After just doing Prairie Camp and having an upcoming Tea in a couple weeks, I said to my friends, "You should have a Tasha Tudor tea party and invite me!" And they did!!
This lovely row of lavender and a line of fruit trees are what greet you as you drive into their property.....
Then as you arrive at the front door........
You are greeted by many lovely flowers........
The mother's sat around in the shade enjoying a tea party that the girls prepared....Scones, gingerbread made with honey :), watermelon......all very delightful! After tea, we went inside and watched a Tasha Tudor video.....
The girls present were adorned in their historic dress and enjoyed tea on the lawn with their dolls. Having dolls to tea is VERY Tasha Tudor indeed!
Look at what they did!! These are very "mini" scones, there is
really cream in that "thimble" size
creamer and very small cut watermelon.......
Their table is a cake stand!! How lovely!
The girls browsing through the garden.........
Close up, can you see that the
doll's dress matches her dress!!
Beautiful surroundings, quiet, restful.......
My friend who lives here, is allowing me to have a "Garden Tea" in her yard in a couple weeks. We are praying the weather holds out that long and that her garden will be as beautiful as it is today!!
I cannot wait to do the tea and
share that with you. :)

I like your post. This idea with historic dress and the dolls is very nice. Thanks!
How lovely and sweet! The girls with their dresses and dolls are adorable. What a beautiful place to take tea. I know Tasha Tudor would be honored.

What a lovely entry and a super idea to celebrate Tasha Tudor. I love that the girls are a little older but were still able to enjoy the celebration with their dolls.
Thank you - you've given me some ideas for next year.
What a happy and fun time we all had!
Thanks for giving us the idea Farmgirl! =]
