My granddaughter Ella and I had a watermelon tea party this past week.
I made two layers of cake ahead of time, and also made a batch of homemade cream cheese frosting for decorating.
We set the table with this pretty tablecloth that my late beloved mom embroidered years and years ago.
Ella chose this teacup that my late Great Aunt Kitty made.
I chose this vintage Johnson Brothers Rolland teacup.
We used my Susan Wingate teapot from years ago, and the Summer blocks were from my sister.
We drank strawberry watermelon sugar free drink mix in our teacups. Who says that you have to drink tea?!
Ella set the timer for our selfie!
What a precious theme for Ella’s 13th Birthday!! You made it so special for her, what a beautiful memory she’ll always have!! Happy Birthday, Ella!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, no Ella is only 9 and another granddaughter, Cissy, turned 13.
DeleteAdorable watermelon-themed tea party Kitty! Your grandgirls are so cute, I love that Ella is enjoying tea parties with you. Watermelon flavored water in a teacup sounds delightful in this summer heat. :) Your cake looks delicious along with your sweet teapot and pretty embroidered cloth of your mom's. Love seeing Cissy's sweet smiling face again ♥
ReplyDeleteLoving the watermelon tea party Kitty. So adorable are you and those sweet girls! I can't believe that Cissy is already 13. My granddaughter Mallory will be 13 in November. Ella sure has the most fun time with the tea parties. Love this! Hugs and blessings, Cindu
ReplyDeleteNow if only Ella had worn a pink shirt... The color coordination would have been perfect. 🍉
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy 13th birthday to Cissy! (Of course, I can hardly believe that she has entered her teen years. 🙂)
Love your fun watermelon cake Kitty! Big smiles all around-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteAnother cute thematic tea party! Watermelons are so refreshing! One of my favourite summer teas is a watermelon-flavoured oolong called "Summer Fling".

ReplyDeleteI can't believe Cissy is 13! Wow! They grow up way too fast and no matter how hard we try to cling to the moments, they slip right through our grasp like grains of sand.
