tea parties and corn dogs

After hosting this tea party it dawned on me that a very real dream of mine would be to host children's tea parties. Kids could come dressed fancy or as princesses and kings and I'd serve the food. It's such a great way to teach manners, patience, please and thank you. I'm envisioning this dream up in the play loft of the barn, set at a long table, pennants and lights hanging from the ceiling. And serving fancy finger foods, as well as corn dogs with heart shaped ketchup.

So if any aunts are reading this, don't get rid of your tea sets. Or fancy hats and gloves. Or colored glass. Or pretty linens. I'll put all of it to good use one day!
