Partayyy!!!!

It’s party day at A Fanciful Twist – well,we’re a little ahead of time here in Australia, but any excuse to get the party started! Gypsy Path is celebrating the inner child -it’s my own birthday in a couple of day’s time and my grandchildren will be helping me celebrate. I firmly believe in children – they make life worth living, and I equally firmly believe in keeping the inner child alive and nourished. How can the years matter when you still find wonder all around you?

Here in the Granite Mountains, it is winter – there is white frost on the ground in the morning and it is quite beautiful, like the icing on a party cake. It inspired me to try and capture the feeling in a digital painting, so here is a little party favor called Stanthorpe Winter:

I got out my tamborine, ready to dance around the camp fire (there is always a camp fire at my parties!) I’m still a traveller girl at heart,so if you poke around the edges of the fire you will find some baked potatoes. The pot holds strong black Traveller tea, but to make it special, I’ll serve it in cups from my English china collection. The pot holds pineapple, mango and passionfruit jam – yum! You’ll find scones on a trestle table under the trees.

I made one of my famous fruit salad trifles:

And my grandson Jei just partied himself out…

If I could,I would love to serve tea in one of the gorgeous little sets at Paris Breakfasts.
