Yesterday, Grace had a tea party. . . .
and, had an uninvited guest join her. . . . .
who knew dogs liked tea?
Grace’s tea set is called “My First Fiesta” and it’s made by Homer Laughlin China Co. I collect fiestaware and when Grace was about 5 she got enough birthday money to order her very own set. It came in a special box that I kept, it is collectible ( will maintain or increase it’s value) and I hope that she will have it and keep it her whole life. I’m not sure if HLC still make the tea sets, we ordered her’s through JC Penney but it was a few years ago. Needless to say, I did NOT want the dog running around with the teacup, which is what he did as soon as he saw me jump toward him to take it from him! We had to chase him around the livingroom to get him to drop it. No pictures of that, thankfully!
Good to be Home 
Aww! I sure didn’t know that they liked tea, but, then again, I’ve never asked them
That is a lovely tea set. Grace must enjoy have tea parties with them.
Love the tea set! Where did you get it? We’ve got a plastic one, but I’d love to get something “real” so we can have “real” tea parties.
“I think I like a bit more sugar, please”
That is one lucky uninvited guest. How did Grace handle it? Laughter? Oooos and Aaaaaa’s? or scat? I love the little dollies that joined in on the fun.
In another post you made a comment about all your pictures taking up so much hard drive space. For right around $100 bucks you can get a small external hard drive that holds volumes and volumes of pictures. I feel a little safer this way so if my computer crashes I’ll still have the external hard drive. At the end of the year I’ll burn everything on DVD’s.
I love that set! I’m so glad she has such a wonderful mom!
What an adorable tea set. What a blessing to have such a precious little girl who loves tea parties! The picture of the uninvited guest is so adorable and an award winner. I made the carrot cookies for Thanksgiving, however I used salted butter and also added the salt. Do you suggest using unsalted butter or just omitting the additional salt? They were yummy though..great with coffee! Blessings, Jill
That is so cute how she has her dolls sitting at the table with her. My girls like to do tea parties to. It’s so cute to watch them get everything ready & drink tea & talk. One time before I ask them if I could join & they said, no this is a kids tea party Mommy, ok!:)
He has SUCH a guilty look on his doggy face!
sooo sweet! I love tea parties. I am so glad God made me a girl. 🙂 lol
Grace is has a very nice tea set…I have always loved that dinnerware. I feel pretty sure she will care for it well…she appears to be quite the young lady…as taught by her mother. That dog picture is frameable! The story that goes with it is just as great. : )
Ha ha – a very unusual tea party! From the expression on Grace’s face, it appears she was a good sport about it all.
Thank you for responding to my comment. They were not too salty, but not very sweet either….just maybe that’s the way they were supposed to be?? 🙂
That’s so perfect that she has her very own collection of fiestaware. You must be so proud! ; )
He looks fairly guilty, don’t ya think? So glad he didn’t break it!
hilarious!LOVE that tea set. fiestaware was my first set of dishes too! wish i still had them. 😦
What a perfect tea set for the daughter of a Fiesta collector!!So glad you were able to rescue the stray teacup!:o)
Funny! Our lab mix likes to join in on tea parties, too. Thankfully we still have plastic sets in our house. I’ve hidden the ceramic Classic Winnie the Pooh set until they are older. 🙂
tooo funny! that set is darling!
Tea parties are fun….especially laughed over that scamp of a guest! David said he is a real “scallyrascal”….one of his new favorite words. My boys love teaparties because they involve baked goods But I would borrow my neice Bri when she was little for the real girlie ones. So glad that Grace’s beautiful set is still intact! Lord bless your day! Jenny
Our Airedale enjoyed both Earl Grey and the occasional cup of coffee whenever he could abscond with one!
“Honey, what’s that slurping sound?” Ugh.

Hehehehehe….that was tooo funny and cute!!! =)
that is so cool Grace has her own set of Fiesta Ware. what a lucky girl!
Awwwww….too cute. Your daughter and your dog!
You’ll have to drop by and see pic’s of our recent tea party. 🙂
fantastic!
I love Fiestaware too. Gracie’s tea set is just darling.
How funny! I hope Grace was able to see the humor in the situation, and not fall apart. I love the tea set too!
Hilarious! I can picture it all like a comedy movie! Great pictures. Miss you and love you! Lish
Now that is definetly something our Sandy would do. lol I’m glad the tea set wasn’t hurt.
How fun! I still have my precious, miniature tea set from my childhood years — some 40+ years and I still keep it in case I have a granddaughter some day. 🙂
I think it’s time for a tea party in my home…may next week wehn bri returns from college
I love, love, love that tea set!!!! I have seen those on ebay! I really would love to get one for Emma…maybe Christmas! Except she already has her American Girl doll picked out that she wants! Hmmm…The pictures are so sweet! Grace is such a pretty young lady…I almost said little girl…but if she is having tea, we must be proper and say Young Lady! 🙂 Now the dog…hmmm…I am so glad that you got it back! It wasn’t damaged was it? What a cute picture of him, her? (I can’t remember) Once again you took the picture in the moment when I would have been FREAKING out…another true inspiring picture to make me STOP and enjoy life and it’s INTERESTING moments…even when I want to freak! 😉 Enjoy your weekend! I think I may need to go and have myself some PGtips…in my own special tea pot…;)
Too cute! That is so fun. We did a tea party with my mom and sisters for Abby while they were here for Thanskgiving. Abby wore her pink princess crown and you would have thought her world was complete! 🙂
Oh, the look on that silly dog’s face is priceless. What a great laugh for my afternoon!
