Tea Parties ~ Plus Books

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 49 (WRITTEN)

In 2012 I was taking Library Services for Children with the Community Library Training Program. 

For my final project I hosted a Fancy Nancy Tea Party at one of our local public libraries.

I knew I had planned a successful children's event when a woman burst into tears at the desk after finding out her child didn't make it off the waitlist so wasn't able to attend the Tea Party. 

Since I really have a hard time saying no to tears her very small 4 year old was handed an invitation resulting in one over our planned maximum numbers.

What a fun event:

Story books

Crafts

Activities

Bubble Gum Tea

Cupcakes

So many feather boas, tutus, and tiaras.

You can't see them, but I was wearing lacy socks in Fancy Nancy fashion, 
“Lace-trimmed socks do help me to play soccer better,” 1 

i do like a good tea party.

Tea parties & books are my thing!!! 

This is why I search - 

Cause ... 

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
