time for tea

Ida spent an afternoon designing her own Tea Set. 

It was a real labour of love. The colours were chosen with great consideration...

... and the patterns painted with great care.

We propped it up to dry on a toy dresser.

And then Ida drew and cut out a table and chair for them to stand on.

I like to think that this may have provided some stylistic inspiration for the furniture.

Instant tea party.

All that's missing is the cake.

Chocolate and raspberry cake, to be precise.

Mouth-watering.

I wish our kitchen table looked like this every day.
