Behind our house, we have a wooded area filled with blackberry bushes, oak & cedar trees and lots of little creatures.
There are little clearings here and there, and a few paths that meander through the bushes and trees
and lead further into the woods.
You never know just what you may find when you venture into the forest...
In the midst of one of those paths, there was a little tea party taking place-
graciously hosted by Miss Bella.
A dainty table & two itsy bitsy chairs...
a french ticking quilt ~ soft blue stripes, tiny little flowers & scalloped edge- so charming!
A chocolate pot & two wee cups & saucers
A diminutive bird feeder held a few starfish and a sweet lavender bouquet.
A little bowl of fresh picked blackberries...yum!
& a basket of harvest apples amongst the fall leaves.
Miss Bella set a very pretty table for her two darling little friends
who were stopping by for a nibble and spot of tea.
Is that them coming now?
They just love a good party & wore their prettiest ribbon attire to the affaire!
Such a lovely day for a tea!
You just never know what you will find if you venture into the forest!

Exhausted after hosting such a sweet affaire,
Miss Bella took a little nap on one of the new pillows she has decided are hers.
Phew!

Christie at Three pixie lane shared her delightful outdoor table made from a door-
I just love it and her table setting- absolutely amazing!
Marie from Marie's Maison shared her salon re-do- It is just beautiful! & that trumeau mirror?
Oh my goodness... Love it!
These fantastic pears covered in music sheets shared by Ashley
