Time for apple cider and tea.

*REVIEW* Hape Tea Set for Two

I found the perfect set for Kirsten fans!

AG sets for Kirsten are super pricey on the second hand market so I just gave up.

This one is made by Hape.  It is called Tea for Two. You get 12 pieces. I believe this is a German company. Directions come in French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and NL.

Comes with wooden tray, 2 cups, plates, creamer, sugar jar, spoon, tea bag 1, and tea pot or kettle. 
 

Jar and kettle come with cute tops with hearts as handles for them to pull on and off.  

Details are amazing and love the patterns on each item. Will use this for years to come.

Porcelain Tea Set for Lydia

I found this little tea set for one while thrifty shopping. It is missing the lid for the teapot, but I wanted it for Lydia.

*Review* Amelia's Victorian Tea Set

Made from bright white porcelain, this lovely tea set is painted with birds, hearts and flowers. Gold trimmed, the set includes a tray, tea pot with lid, sugar bowl with lid and creamer bowl plus two tea cups and saucers. 10 pieces in total.
 This is an online UK exclusive.

I purchased my set a while ago from Amazon. ModoToys.net has a few in stock!

In Amelia's story she and Aunt Cora are painting tea sets, Amelia is doing her best working with a small brush to paint Miss Lovington perched on a heart with snowdrops.

When the tea set arrives, it comes beautifully packaged inside a sturdy, navy blue cardboard box. 

When you lift the tray, the tea set is revealed underneath placed inside cubbies atop a bed of white satin fabric.

Dainty and gorgeous!!!! 
This set is everything you want it to be. The gold trim gives it a rich feel and the pattern is perfectly Victorian, complete with a bird and botanical pattern. Of course you can use this set with any 16" - 18" doll and I can't wait to display it in Amelia's room. I'm so glad to own this set, I love tea sets and this one is a well made collectible.

HURRY! Get yours now! 

This set works with 18" dolls too.

*Reader Photos* Tea Set

 

Delighted to find this little plastic tea set at my local Dollar Tree! Nothing fancy, of course, but the perfect size for 18-inch dolls. The set comes with a tea pot (with a lid that is removable--but with a spout that cannot pour), 4 saucers, 4 cups and 4 tiny spoons. 

The plastic is probably quite cheap, but the detail is cute--raised hearts and flowers on everything and the cup handles are shaped like curled leaves. Perfect for a spring tea or garden party! 

Here is Emma, preparing her morning tea. The cookie on the plate is actually an eraser that was also purchased at a dollar store on a different occasion. 😀

The set came with pink cups/purple teapot or purple cups/pink pot. Enjoy! Robin

Grace's French Breakfast (DIY)

On AG Instagram there's an adorable photo of what appears to be Grace reading the morning paper while having a French breakfast.
 

It's unclear whether these items will appear for sale within her collection, but they can be easily re-created.

Tan felt or tan craft foam sheet rolled on the diagonal make fun croissants. If you don't have faux fruit, you can make berries out of sculpey clay or polymer clay. 

The Dollar Tree has small clear plastic bead jars you can use for marmalade or jelly. A small clear plastic bottle (empty med or vitamin) works great as a cup.

One meal - many looks!
 I'm setting the same meal, using three different table tops. 

Wooden. I'm sure you will recognize some of the pieces here: Kit's plate, glass, and utensils. I bought the faux berries and egg; I made the cinnamon buns.
 

 

This is a cake pedestal and I love the fancy scroll work.

The carafe is from Hobby Lobby.

 

A few years ago while my mom was vacationing in Paris, she brought back these coasters from the Ritz.

 I'm using them as napkins.

It's aqua this time in keeping with the color scheme of Grace's collection.

The glass fits nicely on the carafe while sipping coffee.
*HINT* Incorporate black and white gingham with a solid red color scheme as used in the film. 

 You'll need a newspaper and I have created one here for you to print.
