Jurassic Tea

So the tea was a success for the most part. My table only sold 2 tickets and I bought one of those. Then the person who bought the other ticket couldn't come till later, but it worked out because two very nice ladies came to the day of the tea. My table only had four settings instead of the original 8 to save room for moving around. This made it hard for my table to have a centerpiece and was a little more cozy. Because of this I put all my toy dinosaurs on the wainscoting on the wall next to the table.

Rusty was our fourth guest until we gained two.

I saw someone do this online so I made one two. The cookies are snickerdoodles. The secret to get the correct footprints is to stamp the toy dinosaur's foot in while the cookies are still hot when they come out of the oven.

All of the dishware turned out fantastic. They were done using clear waterslide decals that I bought online. I would use these for anything I want done custom.

Special thanks to Diann for this awesome birthday gift.

This was a lime keeper at one time. The eggs inside are key lime pie bites from Walgreens.

Good old iron-ons make custom fabric easy. Also I was very dissapointed with the lack of dinosaur fabric at craft stores.

When I washed the dishes these were the only ones I lost the decal on. I didn't have time to spray my dishes with clear coat and let them air out before the tea. Also, they soaked too long in water.

Oh look dinosaur poop.

The menu and ticket to the event.

Clever Girl!

Because my table was smaller than the table cloth in order to get it to fit right, we had to tie a knot with the excess fabric. So I decided a pterdacytl needed to be stuck into the knot for decoration.

This food was amazing!

This is the coolest teapot I have ever seen. The Tea Rex was a christmas gift from Michele.

This was the party favor I gave out at the end of the tea.

I had fun and hope to do this again next year. Hopefully next year I can do a table with 8 settings. Michele helped out a bit too, and took many of the pictures towards the end.
