Welcome to a Spring inspired
Tea Party Tuesday!
A special mention to Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage
who is hosting our Spring Tea this week!
"The butterfly counts not months but moments
and has time enough." ~ Tagore
"Butterfly, you dance on the wind with grace,
knowing not the dangers you face.
Happy and whimsy you glide so high.
Butterfly, be lost in the deep blue sky."
~Sophia and I
Pound cake petit four covered in poured
fondant with a delicate fondant butterfly accent.
"Living is not enough, said the butterfly, one must have
sunshine, freedom and a little flower" ~ H. C. Anderson
Chocolate cupcake with Chocolate buttercream &
decorated with fondant accents.
"Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time"
~D. Chaskin
I made these sugar paper butterflies
using edible sugar wafer paper and a paper punch.
They attach to the cup with a dab of karo syrup
and melt in your tea for a whimsical accent.
"If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies."
Happy Spring Tea Party!

What wonderful butterfly ideas you shared with us, Trish!! Those little ones on the tea cup are ADORABLE!!! I need to find out how to do those!! xoxo
I adore butterflies, so naturally I adored your post! For me, it represents our life on earth as a caterpillar and then our metamorphosis in heaven. Aren't they magical?

Trisha...THANKYOU for your comment on my Spring Tea Parties post. You will never know how much it meant to me coming from you. As a matter of fact it choked me up. I've been down the last few days about my blog if its even worth it as I see some over the top ones that have been doing this for a few years. And I've been a blogger for only 4 months. And I just don't think I'll ever measure up to some of them. But... I do LOVE blogging. It has been a great place to let me be my creative self and meet some incredibly wonderful people like yourself. Its people like you who keep me going. I don't know if you went back to my very earlier posts like in Dec. for The 12 days of Christmas, but I know you would enjoy them.
Thankyou again SO much. I am following you and have signed up to recieve your blog by email. You made my day!!
Nann
Adorable pictures, Trish! So glad you remembered to "freeze" the memories in pictures! I didn't have a daughter to share teatime with(my step-daughter was older when I married and she was more of a tomboy), but it's something I would have loved. Blessing to you.
