After our birthday party ballet class, the little girls were ready for teatime. Sweet pink touches were ballerina perfect, like these fresh pink tulips -- a request from the birthday girl.
Spray painted white, this wire dress form from Hobby Lobby sports a tutu made according to the directions in yesterday's post.
A pink satin bow tied around the waist adds a final feminine detail before the dress form is placed on the buffet.
Pink tulips, pink ribbon, pink napkins -- pink perfection!
Outside the weather was cold and dreary, but inside you could feel the warmth of spring. In order to seat all the girls together, we rented child-size tables and chairs from The Wedding Center in Montgomery (334-277-6443). Plates and napkins from Target. The pretty punch cups belonged to Joe's late grandmother, and I use them often. In fact, Emma's party is the third time I have used them this year!

And more ballerina cuties!
Tomorrow, a teatime menu worth a pirouette!

It's all just pinkishly perfect. I wish that I still had little girls around the house!
How beautiful! How do you come up with all of these creative ideas, Melissa? Enquiring minds want to know! :)
What a great idea to have appropriate sized tables and chairs!!! I love your attention to detail.
Gorgeous, goreous, gorgeous! I love the pink theme. Your little girl and her friends are so lucky to be treated so royally. You truly do have a magic touch, Melissa! Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
It's soooo pretty!
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! I love it!
Lucky little ballerinas. Love the pinks and white. You did a great job on the table and decorations.
Precious in pink, Melissa! Loved seeing all the cuties, and I really loved that little wire form with the tutu. So cute! The pink tulips were beautiful, too.
If you get a chance, scoot over and check out the pink bridal tea for a friend's daughter than another friend gave. She had a pink theme, and she did something with gift bags that I think you'd love.
XO,

Melissa, I am in awe!!!! Everytime I read your postings about all of the things you do to make your kids' birthdays and ordinary days so special I just wonder how do you to it all.
I love this pink ballerina party. I am helping throw a birthday party for my BFF in March. Our main color will be pink. I think I will have to borrow some of your ideas.
I am anxious to see your "teatime menu" tomorrow.

P. S. Where did you get the pink heart plates? I love them.
Thanks, Debbi! My sister gave me those pretty pink plates and a matching footed cake plate, and I believe she found them at TJ Maxx. Emma's birthday is February 13th, so I always try to incorporate some hearts into her birthday decor. She is my early Valentine, after all!
enchanting! this is the loveliest blog i have
encountered yet!
thank you for all your gorgeous ideas.
Just beautiful!!! such a precious party! and thanks for the tu-tu tutorial... I think me and my daughter will try to make one over winter break next week.
OK, this is one of the most incredible tea parties I've seen yet, and I continue to be in awe of your many talents! If you lived here in my town in Georgia, I would be *begging* you to write for our magazine! (Do the folks at Tea Time magazine know about you? They should!)
Aw! the ballerinas are adorable! the decorations are beautiful.
Blessings & Aloha!
This is adorable. I just found your blog and would love to browse longer but I will have to come back. My family is calling - when are we going to eat?
My niece is looking for a wire dress holder like you have in tea time to hold her little girls tutu. Wherever do you buy one?
