Every Valentine’s Day we celebrate by inviting our friends over for a tea party. The table is decorated with our pink and white china plates, our red table cloth, and red and pink carnations. Each mommy friend brings delicious desserts and finger foods for the children to try. We enjoy serving our children as they listen to classical music and enjoy each other’s company.
My little ones love to have tea parties. It is always fun for my children to pick out their favorite tea from the assortment of teas in our big, red tea box. After steeping their selected tea in their cups it is a delight for me to hear their good manners as they say please and thank you as the sugar and cream is passed from child to child. These teabags can be used over and over again and never lose their flavor.
Each spring we head over to our local strawberry farm to handpick red, ripe strawberries. We walk up and down the rows with buckets in our hands and visions in our minds of. . . strawberry shortcake, strawberry preserves, strawberry pie, strawberry ice cream. . .
Let the picking (I mean sewing) begin!
I used my Gram’s tin heart cookie cutter to create the pattern for this project. Every time I use her cookie cutters, I think of her busy hands creating something delicious for us in her cozy kitchen. Do you have a special cookie cutter passed on to you from a previous generation? Use the felt cookies you make for your children to tell stories about their heritage. I love sharing stories with my children about my German great-grandmother and our trips to her home in Rochester, New York.
