Brielles Birthday

Last month we celebrated my Daughter Brielles 4th birthday.   

Brielle decided she wanted a tea party- so a tea party it was ! 


Before the big day, I set out vintage shopping in Balmain to find some china and silverware.

I found this amazing set of Ridgway bone china cups.
I'm sure it was the Tiffany's blue that caught my eye! lol.
set of six for $4 - can you believe !

I also found some fabulous silverware and cute little tea pots .

All up I spent about $50 on the tea party accessories - Including the table paper balloons and ribbons

Gotta' love vintage  !


Whilst in Balmain I ordered my daughters favourite treat. 
Macaroons! 
Half from Adriano and half from Donner Hay (which is a bit of a drive).  
Now that might sound utterly pointless when you could just grab them all from one place and save yourself the hassle. - But there is a good reason

Adriano's macaroons are quite sophisticated flavours
 -rose, champagne , pistachio , beetroot. 
So they are great for the mature pallet ,

 Donner Hay does super yummy traditional flavours like
 - double choc, vanilla ,strawberry  
Great for the kiddies. 

 Since I will be catering to both adults and children
A mix is the only way to go.  


  
 On the day of the party my sister turned up with a bag of Lindt macaroons too!
official macaroon overload
(which isn't such a bad thing!)

She adored her tea party - and still plays with the tea pot set!

One of my favourite presents ,
A printed jumpsuit
Its so cute, and looks great with her olive skin.
she'll be wearing it all summer ! 

Thanks Auntie Victoria!

 

Brielle had a great day-
Lots of giggles from the kids.


 Friends, Family, Food, Fun. 
All the important things.
