You’re invited for tea at my nest where enchanting tablescape décor awaits, where butterflies will carry you to a flower filled spring garden complete with the melody of birdsong. Delight upon delectable teacakes, treats, tarts, and tea sandwiches while sipping mint scented tea sweetened with pink sugar sweethearts. Celebrate with handmade gift crafts conveying heartfelt sentiments along with free printable invitations and cards sending your warmest wishes for a beautiful Mother’s Day!
Harken your ears to the call of birds whistling a merry tune of invitation to the spring garden. Two nests double the blessings bestowed upon the day as finding even one is said to be the harbinger of prosperity.
Notice the greeting of butterflies rising from moss laden purses filled with the yellow roses of friendship and tulips representing strength and life itself.
Take a seat cushioned with pastel patchwork pillows provided for your comfort.
Touch the threaded texture of a tablecloth hand embroidered generations ago.
Release baby pink vintage napkins from their handcrafted tapestry and lacework rings.
Sip mint scented tea from delicate vintage china teacups ornamented with floral motif.
Sweeten your tea with pink sugar sweethearts delivering a spoonful of sugar in the perfect dose.
Stir in flavor with silver tea spoons that have been lovingly held by previous generations.
Sup on tea sandwiches packed with cherry pecan chicken salad, whose butterfly and floral shapes echo the garden’s delights.
Try almond crusted chocolate tarts balanced with healthy red raspberry fruit.
Taste pumpkin pear teacakes dripping with lemon icing, dusted with confectioner’s sugar, and topped with more fruit.
Cleanse your palette with pink peppermint almonds held in small antique silver bowls.
Sink your teeth into juicy plump strawberries offered amid vintage salt and pepper shakers.
Replenish your china plate from a grapevine heart topped tower of treats wrapped in lengths of tapestry and lace.
Gaze upon sunlight reflected from gleaming antique silver service layered with vintage doilies atop layers of vintage lace and patterned cloth.
Feel the impressions of vintage buttons encrusting a jewelry box gift sheltered by a lofty spring floral arrangement.
And at last, read the Mother’s Day card that will hold the memory of the cherished event for years to come.
Sincerely wishing you the happiest of Mother’s Days!
Faithfully Yours,
Leigh
