Fairies are in the Garden!

This week I had the pleasure of keeping my granddaughter for a few days. She lives in California, so we don't get to see her very often. So this was a real treat! I decided to invite my friend Laurell's little granddaughter, Charlotte,  over to play with Audrey and have a little girls fairy party. Of course, I had to completely spoil her while she was here- that's what grandmothers do!


Early in the morning, I hid garden fairies that I had purchased on-line in the garden.

Dressed in their fairy costumes-Audrey and Charlotte  raced to find the 16 hidden fairies!

 

 

 

 

Two real little garden fairies having a good time! Audrey trying to be the scary fairy face!

 

Fairy garden tea sandwiches were enjoyed by the girls- mostly the peanut butter and jelly ones!

 

 

And of course a Fairy Dusted cake for dessert topped with edible sugared roses, which they promptly spit out!  Loved the pink icing though!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Audrey and Charlotte! Charlotte is wearing the necklace that she made during the play date!

 

 

In our cookbook, Romancing the Home Entertains, we have another version of this party for little girls.  Here are some of the pictures from our book!

Pansies and lamb's ear are tied to the napkin.

A compote of blackberries and spring blossoms- a simple centerpiece!

 

A porcelain fairy from Susan Snodgrass climbs out of a mason jar!

 

Happy fairy hunting everyone!  It's the perfect time of year to find them!
