When we were in England we had plans for a tea party, a special kind of tea party. In the end, the weather meant the plans didn’t quite work, and we had a very spur of the moment party one afternoon when the sun came out.

And despite the weather we had jam and scones, and flowers…

And the best china tea cups – my own Grannie’s no less!

And bunting (thank you Little Kitten on Etsy), and bird cages and lanterns,

And Saffy and Indy were joined at their tea party by some well loved bears, and by their beloved Nainai and Yeye…

And we weren’t the only ones having tea parties….

All over the world, during the month of August, people were having tea parties in celebration of the life of a special little girl called Ava

If you had a beautiful afternoon of cupcakes or scones or lemonade or tea for an Ava’s tea party celebration this summer too I’d love to hear about it (and don’t forget to share on the Ava’s Tea Party Facebook page too).

Until next time, Kirsty xx
