Marie Antoinette Tea Party

My week seems to be floating along on a Marie Antoinette cloud.  This morning a little tea party setting sprung to mind and before you knew it, I had set a little table in my garden and I was pouring tea just like Queen Marie Antoinette did in the movie !

There were no huge, billowy silk and lace trimmed dresses but there were tears of laughter when I decided that I needed more then one model and I suggested that one of my sons step in to fill the seat ! lol

I laughed so much that I cried when he walked out into the garden in a turn of the century lace trimmed nightdress and my lace gloves. (21st birthday photo's for sure !)

He is quite the joker my son, so he turned on the charm and made it into a show of sorts ! lol

I asked him ever so nicely to please close his legs when I had to shoot at table length as ladies never sat with their legs apart.........

It was such a funny site and one that I will never forget. I promised him that no photos of his face would grace this story but I snuck in one of a very flat chested 'lady' wearing the nightdress.

Please join me tomorrow for more Marie Antoinette inspired loveliness ! There will be games and books and other pretties. 

          I will leave you with this little photo of what's to come
