come to violets teaparty!!





Violet has been feeling very neglected and lonely lately.. she pretty much just hangs out with me in my craft room.. so we got to talking the other day and she asked about getting a few friends together for a teaparty.. Well you know me, I'm all for having teaparties! Then Violet suggested it could be a valentines tea... And, I was all about that too! so we made up invitations and sent them off to some of our most special friends, new and old.. and then I let Violet take over! she was the perfect hostess! and she dressed herself up so pretty! She wanted to make special goodies for her party, so we got out our favorite teaparty book and she picked out a few things from it!
Violet wanted to make sure there were decorations, so we had the party right under her favorite valentines tree. but, she wanted to decorate it more, so I let her throw some red garland and beads on to spruce it up a bit!



Didnt she look like a sweet little hostess?

all of her guests dressed up and looked adorable too!





Some of her guests brought their little friends with them too.. her invitations did say to bring their dollies!


the pink ballerina elephant was quite the show off, pouring tea for mr, monkey with her trunk! (violet told me after the party that she thinks miss ele phante has a crush on mr, monkey! he sure did seem to enjoy her attentions as well!!



And I just got such a kick out of little jasper.. just like his name sake, he would not stay off the table! violet told him he was using bad manners, and she would put him down and he would jump right back up.. probably about 20 times! just like his name sake.. (who i must add I miss terribly!) Anyways, the friends finally took a vote and all agreed that they actually liked having sweet and persistent Jasper in the middle of the table!


Three of the Nancy Anns came, I heard one of them saying the others had valentines DATES, and chose to miss Violets valentine tea ! I'm glad violet didnt hear this!



There were some other show offs at the party too... must be something about the ballerinas, because this old ballerina panda, was dancing on the table at one point! spinning around and around so much its amazing that she didnt get dizzy and fall and spill everyones tea!


as the others watched in shock! I think this little panda below was so embarrassed for her friend, that she turned bright pink!



I wondered if Miss Ele Phante, had spiked mr monkeys tea, as he definitely got a case of the giggles and he dropped that baby several times!!


See that little baby in the quarter hat? I watched her sneaking around the table.. she was funny, when the others werent looking, she would grab their desserts off their plates! there was a lion under the table that I failed to get a picture off and she was feeding him!


Little pink flamingo came and graciously offered flamingo rides to some of the guests. little cherry kisses panda, spent most of her time on his back! and then was charging everyone else a nickel for a ride! One of the other bears told me that cherry kisses and pink flamingo are best friends!



All in all, everyone had a lovely time!



We took lots of pictures.. I had to climb up on my kitchen table to get a couple of them and was worried my husband or kids would come in and catch me! I m sure they are all quite sorry they missed violets party! I know how amused they are by such activities !


But I did take lots of pictures, so they will be able to see what they missed!

I made the friends all pose for this shot.. but I couldnt get them all to look at me at the same time! they were all too interested in talking and paying attention to each other! "come on everyone.. look at me!!!"





I think Violet had a wonderful time with all her little friends.. though she still keeps bothering me about getting her a blythe girl, and I was hoping the party would make her forget about that for awhile, but it didnt... I was hoping though.. as she really has some very sweet little friends that came today!






but look, here she is saying "pleasee mom... pleaseeeee.. just think how much more fun it could have been !!" eiy yie yie!! How am I ever going to resist that sweet face! (and to think I have friends that don't like violets sweet face!)



so anyways, that was the valentines teaparty ! lots of guests and giggles! and even though violet is wanting a new blythe friend she does love the friends she has and she had a very good time!




this little Ginny girl is probably her closest friend, though they dont get to hang out together very often.. maybe I should let them so she will quit begging for a blythe girl!!


So thats all for now folks! hope you enjoyed the valentines teaparty pics!

What a fantastic and fun party! So lovely getting to see all these pictures. Little Ginny (is that her with the pink polka dot dress?) reminds me of the doll in my very favorite book as a child, "The Lonely Doll".

You are so funny! I loved the tea party. What you said about being afraid your husband or kids would walk in--I feel that way when I'm in my garden talking to my roses!

This was a very happy and adorable post to see on my friends' page.

Hello~ This is my first visit to your charming blog. Your tea party was soooo adorable! Especially the details, from the party hats to the forget- me- nots. This was truly a Valentine Tea from the heart.
Come by sometime, I'd love the visit.

The Mad Hatter has nothing on you Viv! Talk about FABULOUS!!! I love it all. The pink elephant and doll with the quarter hat are my FAVORITES!!! I hope you can get that bunch together again for a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt
:0)

Happy Day!
Melissa

Oh Viv I soooo enjoyed viewing the pix of Violet's fabulous tea party! Jasper was the life of the party! Now who wouldn't like Violet??? I heard Target may start selling Blythes- so you may end up getting a friend for Violet yet! I love your doll collection. The one that struck me was the doll with the brown hair in pig tails (I believe she is Ginny). She looks exactly like my daughter Emily!

Hugs!
Sandy

Should I be jealous that your dolls have more fun that I do?

E said...

What a cute story Viv ! Thx for sharing the fun ... but I'd keep an eye on that one table dancing ballerina cause she might be getting into the "bitters", just saying... cause I have seen this happen quite often here in Nashvegas when the ballerinas get into the bitters

RetroSandie said...

Now that was a sweet tea party! I'm sure Verity (my Blythe) would be quite jealous if she saw any of these pix!
Hugs XOXO
