Last week my friends and I threw a tea party baby shower at my house for our friend Laura. I wanted to decorate with doilies since they seem tea party-ish, so I dyed some of the doilies with coffee to give them an antiqued look and folded them over yarn to make doily bunting banners. Don’t they look like big lace ribbons? Everyone brought a tea cup and a dessert or box of tea to share. I was on a serious caffeine/sugar buzz after sampling all the goodies (and going back for seconds)!
A few old mason jars filled with flowers and scattered around the house were the finishing touch. Simple and sweet decorations can’t be beat!

Such lovely snippets! Looks like it was a lovely little gathering.
that’s so pretty! how long did you leave the doilies in the coffee to get that look?
Not very long at all—maybe 10 to 20 seconds each.
What a great friend. Adorable decos!

Doilies. They’re so simple and beautiful, great choice!!
If you remove all of the foilage from your flowers they will last longer when sitting in water, we keep a lot of little jars filled with flowers and they last so much longer if you take the time to do that.
