Brinley and her alter ego, Fancy Nancy, went to a birthday party last weekend. It was super posh tea party at Sweet Teas. Needless to say, it was every little girls dream.

We thought using brown butcher paper was such a great idea to wrap presents, but how could this little girl walk into an exquisite tea party with a boring brown present? gasp! Scrapbook supplies to the rescue…it may not be overly pink and girly, but it was Brinley-approved and off she went.

After some quick craft projects the girls launched into full primp mode. Make-up, nails, perfume. The works.

It’s too bad I ruined this shot by being in it, the pushy helicoptering mamarazzi that I am.

Her makeover wouldn’t be complete without some body glitter for some extra oomph. Ooh la la!

During a quick etiquette lesson Brinley tired of the mamarazzi following her around. I can’t quit though, the tabloid says my job is on the line!

The girls played the pass the present game. Kinda like hot potato but the idea was to be the one holding the present when the music stopped. Brinley became more and more hesitant to pass the present along because the music stopped every time just as she let go.

After the games, it was time to accessorize. Hats, necklaces, gloves, earrings, bracelets and boas were all readily available.

Maybe Brinley’s alter ego isn’t Fancy Nancy, it’s Feisty Nancy! Oh, the attitude! oy vey.

After a group picture, it was finally time to eat! They started out with “tea” which was pink hot chocolate. The girls got to embellish their drinks with mini marshmallows…look at the concentration it takes to pinch that little bugger and drop it ever so delicately into her cocoa.

Brinley liked to dilute her cocoa with milk. I think it had less to do with taste and more to do with fun.

Mmmm…second course – scones! With devonshire cream and jam.

Which, of course she ate like a delicate lady. Brinley will always be Brinley!

Wash it all down with a goblet of something cool and refreshing. Does anyone have a fiddle? Make that lady with the camera fiddle for me. Amuse me!

A lavish day in the life of the rich and the elegant.
