Elevate the look of your parties or gatherings with Highlands Tea Cup Company- literally and figuratively!  Lisa Dye, owner and creator of Highlands Tea Cup Company, is taking entertaining to new levels with her tiered stands.  The stands are perfect for everything from petit fours to scones to muffins to cupcakes and more!  Tea sandwiches, cheese straws, fruit also look beautiful when served on a tier made by Lisa.

As you can see in the photos above and below, Lisa creates tiered stands with different configurations.  The tallest ones command a table with 3 levels of plates.  I love the look of both and the different heights that they create when grouped together.  The colors vary greatly from stand to stand and the style and feel differ, too.  Some feel very traditional for an old-fashioned tea, and some have a more modern feel.  I appreciate how I can use my stand for different themes and reasons- it seems like it always becomes the perfect place to display something that I have on the menu.

The green and white 3-tiered stand is the one that Lisa so kindly made for me.  She found this beautiful pattern, and I chose the green and white because of its versatility in seasons and I liked that I could dress it up or play it down a bit.  I use mine to hold oranges, lemons, and limes on a regular basis.  I enjoy how pretty it is even when it is empty! 🙂

Another variety of tiered stands that Lisa creates is one with a cup and saucer on top.  What a perfect place to add nuts, small candies, or simply fill with flowers.  Having a teacup at the top makes flower arranging on the tier easy!

The tiers with the cups and saucers at the top also come in 2-tiers and 3-tiers.  The offerings are always changing as Lisa constantly sources new dishes to use to make the stands.  You can also have your own custom tiered stand made with your own china.  What a wonderful way to make a gift or keepsake from family china. I feel like that would make such a special gift for so many on your list for birthdays, Easter, Christmas~ and even Valentine’s Day.  I love the idea of filling the tiers with sweets and treats for a Valentine luncheon or tea. It also makes a perfect gift for yourself anytime of the year! 😉

Another of the perks of a Highlands Teacup Company tiered stand is how simple it is to take them apart to store- and how quickly and easily they go back together.  Lisa makes it simple by including the supplies and instructions. You can find Highlands Teacup Company on Etsy with a slight name difference- it is Highlands Cake Stand Co. Lisa also has many other items for sale in her shop.  It is ever-changing and always fun to see what new finds she has!  To find Lisa on Instagram, search HighlandsTeacupCo

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
