<p style="text-align: center;">I found gobs of vintage china at the flea markets to help decorate for O's "Tea for Two" party.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-024.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-803" alt="tea for two 024" src="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-024.jpg" width="331" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Since she is totally obsessed with pink, we used only pink carnations and pink tea roses.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-026.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-804" alt="tea for two 026" src="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-026.jpg" width="331" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For months, she was begging for pink cupcakes at her party.  Ask, and you shall receive, my dear.  I found these adorable tea-cupcake wrappers on Etsy.  They were a lot of work to put together but totally worth it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-038.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-805" alt="pink sweets table" src="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-038.jpg" width="331" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The pink dessert table was my favorite spot.  Party guests took home iced shortbread cookies in the shape of a pink cupcake.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">No party is complete without a banner.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">This photo shows most of the spread.  What you can't see are muffins, scones and quiche - all of which I lovingly prepared myself.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The kids could take their turn at "toss the teabag in the pot".</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Since O has FOUR tea sets, there were plenty of mini parties going on throughout the house.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-186.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-810" alt="tea for two 186" src="http://www.karolineskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tea-for-two-186.jpg" width="411" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The birthday girl with her very own pink "2" candle.  (We even got her a pink and purple tutu with a matching teacup shirt.)</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Partygoers were asked to wear their garden tea party finest. (Sadly, I don't have the pictures from the dress up photo booth on here, but I will get to it soon!)</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Just a good old fashioned round of "pin the cup on the saucer" :)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'm already looking forward to next year!</p>
