Tea Party Evolution

My granddaughter had a birthday tea party at a local retreat.  Dresses and jewelry were provided to add charm, enchantment, beauty, glamour, grace, and magic.  Music was playing on the sound system as the girls walked along a stage and viewed themselves on a big screen TV.  Cupcakes and warm strawberry milk were served.

Almost 50 years ago, I had a "Little Lady's Tea Party" that my mother organized in our back yard.  We wore our mother's dresses to add beauty, glamour, grace and...magic?  No princess dresses or sound system for us! I really can't remember what we did, but for some reason I wasn't happy when this picture was taken.  Can you guess which one is me?

Glamour Carnival

Have you noticed all the glamour shots that have been circulating around the blog world?  Kristina, from Pulsipher Predilections is having a Glamour Shots Gone Wild! Blog Carnival! I want to join in - I've always loved a good carnival! 

You must realize that since my blog is "I Started Out as a Child", my glamour shot is when I was a child.

I'm the 5-year-old sitting in the wagon with a crown on my head.  Yeah, I started young looking glamourous and even had my own posse pull the wagon and attend to my every need.

If you want to see some REAL glamour shots, head on over to Kristina's Carnivalicious blog and check 'em out!  If you have one that you want to display, jump on the carnival ride and show off your glamour!  I know I'd love to see it!
