About this
A blog post by Laume recapping a magical Harvest Tea Party she hosted as the Faerie Queen at the Faerieworlds Harvest Festival, where five tea parties were given to faeries, ogres, pirates, elves, trolls and a few humans. The post is a photo-heavy recap of the woodland table and decorations, the costumed visitors, and the borrowed guest photos, rather than a step-by-step party how-to. It also serves as the author's contribution to Vanessa Valencia's annual Halloween bloggers' party (A Fanciful Twist), which she links to. The author notes she had no time to decorate her own home this year because life was so busy.
The plan
- Host the tea party outdoors in a woodland setting, as at the Faerieworlds Harvest Festival
- Hold multiple tea party sessions (five were given) so different guest groups could attend
- Invite a whimsical mix of guests: faeries, ogres, pirates, elves, trolls, and a few humans
- Ask artist/designer friends to create the set pieces, such as the moss table and shroom stools
- Have one friend design the party sign and another paint it
- Enlist a faery friend (Willow) to help assemble the autumn chandelier
- Arrange for friends to take photos, since the host was too busy hosting to photograph the event
- Link the post to Vanessa Valencia's annual Halloween bloggers' party and browse her sidebar list of participants
