High tea table decor

Being a full time mom of a energetic, very active and full time excited 2 year old means I really need my cup of tea in peace. I make it a point to style it a bit just so that I feel pampered and grown up for a while. 

The other reason I decorate, organize and set up the table all the time like a person with OCD( oh well who am I kidding I do have OCD lol) OK so the reason is that I want my son to pick these little things, learn to decorate and style the corners of the house. I have seen some male friends who can oh -so beautifully arrange the table and some men who don't help their spouse/moms even a tad bit. I would like my son to be like the former type.

 And as you know parents are the best role models so I do my bit!!

Tea Party Table decor

It is getting wet and cold again.. What better than sipping nice hot tea and chat with friends watching the rain fall... Luckily when I was taking the pictures sun peeped from the clouds... Bright sunlight makes such a big difference to how your pictures and decor will look..!!!



Many lovely ladies had asked me last Thursday about my plates and table accessories ....So here it goes.. Most of the things I have collected during my travels.. I found this floral table runner at a local shop..I though it would be a pretty backdrop for a tea party.... The tea set is from India .. The plates are from US..(Studio Nova)...Crystal stand is a gift (also from US) ... The Bowl is a souvenir from Buckingham palace..



The wooden tulip is from Amsterdam's Tulip Garden and this pretty piece I bought recently from a sale here in Zürich is from Villeroy& Boch...



...I placed a large doily as a table mat...I used red tissue paper to add some bright color to the table...rolled it in a napkin ring with the spoon...



 I took the picture before I placed the sandwiches and cupcakes... This was a last minute idea... I am happy how it turned out..I wish I had some flowers ..They could have added such charm to the table..hmmm...

I did the tutorial for the Watermelon ship I had carved last time...Check out on Sunday to see how easy it is to carve a watermelon.. !!!!
