Fairy tea parties are fun for the young & the young at heart. Little girls love tea parties and adding fairies to your theme makes them all the more delightful.

We have a wonderful selection of paper cupcake liners and I thought it would be fun to see what ideas we could come up with on what else you can do with them besides baking! Of course you can use them for serving other food like cookies or hors devours.

Tea parties are quite popular now & people always comment on how they like mine so I thought I would share some of my ideas with you. A Victorian Tea Party would be the most elegant of all. Everything in Victorian times was done lavishly. So break out your grandmothers china, silver, crystal & serving pieces. The fancier the better. Of course if you have a truly prized possession that would break your heart if it was damaged, please don't use for the party. Accidents do happen!

This delicious cookie recipe is from the very little (heart shaped) cookbook titled The Bear Facts Recommends. It was published by a small company back in the 1980's. I am sure it is no longer in print. They called the cookies simply CARAMEL BARS. The cookies taste like a candy bar and anyone you share them with will love them too!

Did you know you can convey your sentiments to someone without ever saying a word? This is the beauty of the Victorian language of Flowers. This article will help you determine the meaning of the flowers on your ladies handkerchiefs.
