Nostalgic Collectible



Who can forget their first tea party?  Playing
dress-up and treating your teddy bear and
favorite doll to a lavish repast.  A time where
the tea was perfect and the snacks were sweet,
days were endless, and dreams reflected all
things possible.

All grown up, and remembering those sweet
memories tugs at our heartstrings and wishes
for the simplest of pleasures.

The perfect tea party always started
with your imagination.

Now, let's have Tea!

Snowball Tea Cookies are so
delicious!


 Baby Crissy was a very special present
from one of my aunt, Gladys.  I was 4 years old
when I received her; that day I played all day
long, and when bedtime came I did not want
to go to sleep.  I still remember as if it were
yesteday.

  21. Hi, friend! Your newest follower :) You've got so much creativity going on in your blog so can
    you please share them with us at the Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop?

    This is a combination of linky party (where we can show off our
    creations) and of blog hop (where we can follow as many excellent
    bloggers as we like), hence the name Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop.
    It's a great way to meet awesome creative bloggers like you and
    increase your followers in the process.

    All you have to do is 1) link up whatever creative post you'd like to
    share - can be a DIY project, decor, photography, crafts, recipes,
    poem, thrift finds, tips, or that informative syndicated post that can
    make us laugh, or cry - in short, whatever you're proud of! 2) Then
    follow as many blogs as your heart desires, preferably starting first
    with the one before you and after you, and leave a comment to them
    that you're doing so.

    You’re not required to include the party button – you read that right
    – not required to include the party button but if you’re so inclined
    to display it in your blog or your post, you’re very much welcome to
    do so :)

    See you at http://www.homemakeronadime.com/2011/04/creative-bloggers-party-hop-042411.html
