To celebrate the removal of her cast,
Sidenote: Lily Kate broke her wrist the week before Christmas.
It's a long, now somewhat humorous story for another day.
Lily Kate decided to host a Valentine's Day tea party at her favorite lunch place,
The Cambridge Tea House.
Where else can you go for a "princess tea" -- tiara included?

A party of any kind wouldn't be complete without some swag.
Behind the scenes:
It may look extravagant, but all the decor and swag was put together quickly and inexpensively.
All it takes is a little creativity and/or a "CHEAT SHEET."
Your CHEAT SHEET
HomeGoods for set of 4 heart placemats (selection varies by store), $6.99; Two's Company napkins and napkin rings found at Giant Eagle Market District (Pier 1 is also a great source for tableware.); Dollar Tree for gift boxes, swag and other Valentine decor.
The centerpiece was a tea cup I had in my collection (any cup would do!) arranged with a $6.99 fresh floral bouquet from Giant Eagle Market District. Wands and sequin tiaras were from the Joann Fabrics $1 bins (great selection of kiddie goodies). I embellished the wands with fabric heart stickers from Dollar Tree and extra ribbon. All swag, I repeat, all swag was from Dollar Tree -- Valentine box, heart socks, and Barbie tissue pack (it's that time of the year).
Even the Queen…

A Fun Time for All
My favorite time at the tea party was when we had fun playing "Follow the Leader."
