A sweet lady from my church invited Cissy and me to the La Tea Da tea party at a local church. We were invited last year, also, and this tea has been in the making since then. Oh, the detail that went into this special table. All the tables are decorated with a theme, and then they are voted on. One lady, Ely, decorated three of the tables, and one of her tables won the grand prize. I really thought that the table that we sat at would win, but I'm glad that one of Ely's tables won.
Everything, and I mean everything, was Mickey Mouse related!! We had Mickey Mouse plates, flatware, tablecloth, nameplates, goblets, etc., etc.
Just look at this darling teapot! The spout was cut off in the picture, but it's also a teapot.
Isn't this teacup the cutest?? Even the spoon was adorned with jewels in in the shape of Mickey! In the background, on the right, you can see our take-home gift of Mickey Mouse soaps!! Ely, the lady who devised the theme, gave Cissy a special Mickey Mouse purse, with little gifts included. I'm telling you, this was a day of special memories.
Ely even made the sugar cubes from a Mickey Mouse mold! Believe me, Cissy enjoyed munching on them, besides putting them in her tea.
Here's our delightful menu! We were so grateful to be invited to this special, yearly event!
Cissy and I wanted a picture with Julia, who was the "Mum" of our table, and who kindly invited us to the tea. Julia is also a widow, and Cissy and I sit with her at church, whenever Cissy spends the night with me. Julia helped with the decorating. The men of the church are the servers, and the menu was wonderful.
Cissy and I loved checking out all the themed tables at the tea party, and of course we voted for our Mickey Mouse table to win! Thank you so much, for coming along with Cissy and I to our tea party.
Here's one of my grandsons, and Cissy's brother, who won at his tennis match this past week! Way to go Caiden!!
Here is another grandson, and another brother of Cissy's, who does such an awesome job at shot put! Way to go Riley!!!
I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
Thank you for your visit! xo
What a cute, cute idea. We have one very smitten Disney "character" in our family, too. She would love this. Have a great week- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your table didn't win Kitty!! Mickey Mouse everything! So cute, and what a fabulous party! Cissy is on her way to being a professional tablescaper! Such fun!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Wow! Somebody is very creative! How wonderful that she uses that creativity to bless others. Sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThose grandsons are very accomplished!
Hi Kitty, the Mickey Mouse Tea party table is decorated so nice. I love that theme and the menu looked so nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this at C&C with J&J. Have a nice week.
Julie
How fun! With sugar cubes like that, that table should have won. Your grandchildren are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! My mother {who isn't doing well at the moment} would love the Mickey Mouse theme because she has always loved Mickey! Those church tea parties are always such a hit and it's a lovely way for ladies to get together for a chat over tea. Cute grands too! You and Cissy look sweet wearing your Mickey ears. Thanks for sharing your happy outing with us. Hugs...Sandi
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful table,Kitty!The whole world loves Mickey mouse!Great time with your dear Cissy!Such creativity and beauty...Congrats to your Grandsons too!Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh what an adorable tea party and great fun Kitty! So many wonderful Mickey Mouse details at your table down to the sugar cubes! I remember the tea you and Cissy attended last year and can't believe your table didn't win. I always enjoy seeing you grands. :)
ReplyDeleteMickey certainly gets my vote! Wow, all of your details are amazing. I love the tea pot, of course, what don't I love on this table. What a fun event to go to. I will take several Mickey sugar cubes in mine, and maybe just munch on a few too.
ReplyDeleteToo cute for words! Your Mickey Mouse table must have been the happiest table at the tea party.
ReplyDeleteOh Kitty...I truly enjoyed looking at the table you had the pleasure of sitting at during your tea party, WOW!!
ReplyDeleteEverything was so detailed and those sugar cubes are darling!
Love the photo of you three, just beautiful.
Bless you ~
I think it should have won too Kitty! This tea party was right up Cissy and your alley. This is just adorable and I know you must be so proud of her. She is learning tea etiquette from the best. The menu is great and how sweet the lady gave Cissy the cute little MM purse. The grandsons are holding up their part of making grandma proud too. Loved the photos of all........
ReplyDeleteFantastic party details, Kitty! Love seeing your grandkids living and loving life!
ReplyDeleteThis post truly delights me Kitty! I can't get over that even the sugar cubes were mouse eared. May you have a wonderful week of lovely weather!
ReplyDeleteA family chock FULL of talent!!! How did this table not win?!??!?!?!? And how did that other lady do THREE?!??!?!? Man...she must have a LOT of time on her hands! Not knocking her. Just saying. I just can’t imagine a table like this being beat out. You and Cissy did a terrific job with a TON of detail. (You know how I love detail!) So...as you plan for next year, go hard again like this, and I’m sure you’ll come out with a victory!!! The victory this year, besides having created a fabulously fun tablescape, was the time you spent together. That’s ALWAYS a winner! Congratulations all around!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Alycia, Cissy and I didn't decorate the table. We were just guests that were invited. We certainly enjoyed the afternoon of making memories. I'm sorry if I misled you in my post, into thinking that we did the cute theme. Ely was the creator extraordinaire!
DeleteYour table was so cute! And I am so glad to see Cissy sharing it with you! Darling! Love everything on it! I always love church teas...so fun! Have a lovely week and thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea

Oh, how adorable! You are right...you can surely see how much time and effort and energy went into the tea party! Such fun you had together! Ely and Julia sound like wonderful ladies who are just selfless in their giving. Praying for you, sweet friend, and sending hugs. :)

ReplyDeleteI have several friends who would've definitely voted for the Mickey Mouse table, and they would've worn their ears, too. But I doubt they'd look as cute as you and Cissy in them!

Oh Kitty, what an incredibly special day you had with your sweet Cissy. The table you sat at was just too cute and those Mickey Mouse sugar cubes were darling! Thank you for sharing your happy memories with us.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations to Caiden for winning his tennis match. You have a beautiful family, my friend. Love and hugs to you!
How cute is that? Thanks for linking up to our Keep In Touch party.
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun party! Love the Mickey mouse. My youngest granddaughter loves her some Minnie. Matter of fact we watched Minnie last night as she and her mom, my daughter, came to have supper with us. My SIL is due to be home today. Praise the Lord. It's getting too close time for this baby to come so he needs to be home. Congratulations to your grandson. The joys of childhood. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
