Busy decorating the store in blue, silver, and white for the Snow and Ice Tea Party, Dec 4th. It is looking beautiful. Started packing the "goody" boxes for the girls and their dolls. The are pretty blue boxes with snowflakes on them. I am beginning to think I should have gotten the next size up! I love to find "goodies" for the boxes/bags, and I may have overdone it this time. Menu is planned with cupcakes decorated with 7 minute icing and coconut, lemon flavored snow ball cookies, sugar cookies decorated with blue snowflakes and icy blue punch! I hope my 7 minute icing turns out OK! Sometimes it can be a problem. The tea party will be preceded with an Open House on Nov. 26 for adult girls. This is Shop Small Saturday across the nation to encourage people to support local home owned shops in their community. If you can't attend my open house, I encourage you to visit a small shop in your community and make a purchase. The February tea party is tentatively set for Feb. 5, 2012. After a recent trip to New Orleans I am inspired to do a Mardi Gras party. Decorate in purple, gold, and green - the colors of Mardi Gras. Girls can decorate masks with jewels and feathers for themselves and their dolls. And beignets and mini king cakes for treats! Doesn't that sound tummy? I may even hide a coin in one of the king cakes and have a prize for the one who gets it. I bought Mardi gras magnets for each girls "goody" bag. |
