I used to love having tea parties with my teddy bear and dolls in our back yard. My mom got me a little porcelain tea set that came in a tiny wicker basket, and I treasured it for years. When my daughters were born, my mother gifted them each with their own wicker basket tea sets. Once they were old enough, Mom would come over and we would all head outside to the garden and have high tea together; dress up clothing required. My girls had so much fun playing hostesses; pouring imaginary tea, offering pretend sugar and cream, and passing around finger sandwiches made white bread and jam - crusts cut off, of course. At times, a butterfly would land on our table. The girls would be convinced it was a fairy coming to join us. I didn’t correct them. My girls are no longer girls, and tea parties have transitioned into cocktail parties. Fairy butterflies optional. Cheers!
