I want to thank everyone for the comments and emails about Fairy's Gate.
It really came about because I needed to organize my bookmarks of free and wonderful things. I needed to find an easier and faster way of locating items.
I tried organizing my bookmarks into folders but found I just had too many and sometimes I would place things into odd folders....

My camera is out getting fixed but I wanted to share this with you so I popped it into the scanner....This is a sample of what I do with free and wonderful things.
Not a great image and it really doesn't do this cute little purse justice..
This is what I made by combining these paper dolls
and this little ...purse from here...
Inside the purse is a set of the paper dolls that I printed on one sheet of photo paper, making the dolls just under 2 inches high..

I also printed out six paper dolls three blond and three
brunette as well as six outfits full scale. I placed them around a glass cylinder for a centerpiece. Sorry this won't fit in the scanner, I will take pictures when I get my camera back.
At the tea will be food or items that represent the countries around the centerpiece.
England......English (herb) tea
French.....................petit four and Kelly bag (paper purse)

I love that! I remember playing with paper dolls all the time as a child. Are you old enough to remember McCalls magazine and the Betsy McCall paper doll feature every month?
Hugs,

I love that little purse, the paper dolls, which girly girl hasn't played with them? and everything about this party! I would love to look around the corner.
Mmm Italy, I am going to think loud, if you don't mind. Fountain, you could make a tower of glasses on a tray and pour lemonade in the top glass so that it pours over and fills the lower layer and so on.
Or something tower of Pisa or mini pizza's.
Spain; every girl could have a little veil, or a set of wooden blocks to imitate castagnettes, or something bull like on the table, or a red white polka dot table cloth, with ruffles to resemble the flamengo dancers dresses.
Hope this helps, but I think you have the best ideas yourself! Thanks for sharing these ideas and have a great day!
Your little purse is so cute! I love the paper dolls. As a kid that was one of my favorite things to paly with.
Too cute! What fun. I used to love Betsy McCall dolls and then later the ones in Home Companion.
Your party sounds so fun!
Paper dolls were my favorite growing up, what a cute idea for a centerpiece!
What a sweet little purse! I loved paper dolls and making clothes for them.
Hmmm, Italy... gondolas, grapes, sculptures, little eisels with paintings on them? For Spain the first thing that came to mind was a pretty fan.
Sounds like a delightful event.
Louise! Fairy's Gate is just wonderful! I've been up to my elbows in paint. Sorry I haven't come by sooner. Love the sweet little purse you made.
Hugs!

Louise, that little purse you made is adorable!!! i remember playing with paper dolls too when i was little:)
Oh Louise, What a lovely idea for a girls tea. I look forward to seeing the centrepiece. The paper purse is gorgeous. I will have to try my hand at making one. It would also be a lovely way to give a gift.
Please post pictures of the tea table.
Hugs Karen
