It made me realize that I'm not spending enough time "quietly thinking" beforehand. We usually come up with a lovely theme too close to the time of the party to take the time to do more ourselves. I guess being short on time equals having to be long on expense. We will need to start planning much farther in advance, maybe even months if needed.<br><br>Thank you again,<br>Shannon<br>http://apronstrings-neededthings.blogspot.com/Shannon, Mommy to sixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12292017325793700969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-32710283821862165192007-04-30T01:36:00.000-05:002007-04-30T01:36:00.000-05:00What memories are made of!!!

I don't really know how to anwer your question. I do alot of quiet thinking before I do anything. That helps. We may buy a cheap serving dish that looks lovely or a piece of sheer fabric, cut and hem it ourselves for drapery. Then use strips off the ends to tie bows on the backs of the chairs. Sometimes we use matching dishes that we had on hand- usually cheap clear glass because it goes with anything and then use a set of tea cups or a hodge podge. We buy really cheap figurines that match our theme and them give them to the children afterwards. We don't buy special food, but just make it look very fancy by cutting sandwiches with cookie cutters or placing salad in a carved out butter roll. We often add edible flowers to the dishes. We choose crafts that aren't expensive. I will try to give more details about these ideas as I post each tea party theme that we have done.lindafayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10593813942424765333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-86172353436918424692007-04-28T17:30:00.000-05:002007-04-28T17:30:00.000-05:00I love reading your blog.

You have enriched our CM-style home school so much!<br><br>We have been hosting a tea party at Christmas time for the other girls and ladies in our church and would like to add a springtime one as well, but I am finding I am spending more than I'd like on decorations and food. I am fairly creative, but I'd still love to hear more of your ideas on creative tea parties with very little expense.<br><br>Thank you for such a beautiful, thoughtful blog,<br><br>Shannon<br>http://apronstrings-neededthings.blogspot.com/Shannon, Mommy to sixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12292017325793700969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-52196338351082844282007-04-27T23:00:00.000-05:002007-04-27T23:00:00.000-05:00Y'all must really enjoy your teas.
