Wow....I just have to say a very sincere THANK YOU to each and every one of you for attending my spring celebration yesterday! It was a smashing success. Boy do you all know how to throw a tea party!! It was just amazing looking at all the stunning pictures and stories and tea parties on blogs all over the world. I hope you all made some new friends. I know I'll be linking to the over 75 blogs linked below that had tea parties for months to come. I was also very touched by over 100 comments left and over 1200 visitors here yesterday! WoW!! I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to leave a comment everywhere I went, but I promise you I visited them all when I made the link from my blog. What I saw was awe inspiring spectacular. What an amazing international group of blogging artists you are...and you sure know how to make a girl feel like a million bucks! Cyber hugs all around!!!
I can't take credit for the beautiful tablescape above. It is from one of my very favorite home decorating books, Celebrating Home by the team at Seasons of Cannon Falls. I adore their vintage inspired collections by some of my favorite artists like Nicol Sayre, Charlotte Lyons and many others. 
I think today I'll kick back, put my feet up and enjoy the beautiful Spring weather we're having here in Minnesota. (p.s. no, that's not me in the picture. hehe!)
Cheers!!

I am so sorry to have missed your tea party yesterday. I found your blog through Dawn at (4:53AM). Everything here is so very lovely! and the tea party was a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late, but inspired by you, I'm having Tea and Oranges at Teeny Tiny Cabin this afternoon.
Thank you for sharing all the loveliness and for the very sweet idea! Claudia O.
I saw this event on some blogs and so wanted to take part in it - what you joy you spread!
ReplyDeleteWhen I came here today and saw that first photo I thought WOW does she have an amazing dining room!lol!
I lived in Mpls for 3 yrs and my husband is from Minnesota!
Cheers!
Dearest Kari,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting this wonderful tea party. Being new to blogging, I felt so welcomed by every one.
It was just the sweetest idea.
Okay, now off to DO something with my house, right now I have bunches of "antiques" all over my table.
Wish it was as easy to "transform" our home to match the picture of that gorgeous dining room as it was for me to feel loved and welcomed by all of you new blogging friends!
hugs, Lidy
Oh wow what an amazing party, such happy joyous pictures, you have a beautiful blog xx Judy xx

Oh Kari! I'm so glad your tea party was a smashing success. I checked in when I could. You did such a fabulous job with it all! Love the craft, too cute!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the time off - you desrve it. I'm off to carry on visitng more of those blogs listed. Didn't comment on nearly as many as I wished to.
ReplyDeleteCan we do it again sometime?
Thanks so much for hosting! It was such a creative and fun idea. Also, you should go to my blog...it will make you very happy! Cheers...tammy
ReplyDeleteI was fashionably late, but I would not have missed it for the world! You rock, Artsymama and the visits support it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a smashing idea! Wish I'd been able to participate, but we were busy lambing here. Priorities, you know. But perhaps another time. Or, like Claudia, I may just host my own a wee bit later.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, and I enjoyed the photos tremendously!
such fun ... got to visit a whole bunch of new blogs, had some lovely women come visit me for tea here in the bush in central vixtoria [ australia ]
ReplyDeletewe are SO going to have to do this again!
Just got woken up by one of my nanny goats [ very noisy when they're in season ] ... back to the real world.
Oh my dear my dear my dear! I am SO sorry I missed the party!!! I completely planned on joining in on Wednesday so didn't "blog" ahead but then Lilli and I went to the Monticello Antique Mall yesterday...yes...the very antique mall where Alicia Paulson has a space! We spent 4 1/2 hours there!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm SO glad your party was such a wild success and that you had such a marvelous turn out!!!!!
Next time! I promise!!! :-)
Hugs,
Michelle
Hi, thank you for coming by my blog the other day.
ReplyDeleteYour tea party was a great idea, I should have taken part. I travelled to many of the tea party's - it was great - but I would have loved to taste some of those cakes - but hey cyber space can't do everything.
best wishes Ginny
Kari, what a fun tea party you hosted yesterday! And what unbelievable eye candy here and on the participant's blogs! I wanted to join in desperately, but, alas, everything that could go wrong at work did, which interfered with my blogging time. Oh well! Looks like everyone had such fun!
ReplyDeleteThe tea party was great. I got your pin today! Thank you thank you thank you! Did I say thank you. It is beautiful. THere's nothing better than real mail!
ReplyDeletexoxo~

ReplyDeleteDear Kari,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely invitation to your tea party. I had so much fun! I liked all the good eats, although I didn't have a chance to do the craft. I think you brought out the best in all of our blogs--it was fun to be a "hostess."
