A Thanksgiving Tea Party

Natalie and Michaela Byrd apparently fall into the category of history revisionists. The Thanksgiving Feast has been turned into a Thanksgiving Tea Party. The Pilgrims didn't wear somber, dark clothes...they wore festive tutus and jaunty flower topped headbands. And the Indians followed a strict costume de rigueur fashion policy---fringed mini gowns and sparkly pink slip-on shoes. If you don't believe me, check out this historically accurate reenactment:


PS. Thanks for your patience this week. I know you haven't seen any crafty or homey posts here, and that's because I've been trying to pick the house up and pack for a quick Thanksgiving trip we're taking being forced to make.  I have some really cool things planned to post once Thanksgiving draws to a close and I can get my act together!

How are your Thanksgiving plans panning out?

    I never would have thought of a Thanksgiving Tea Party:) I love the mix of tutu's with the fringed Indian garb...so cute! Looks like they were having a blast!

    Just so cute. They look like they were really having a fun time.

    I sure miss having my daughters and granddaughters that small. Maybe I will have to borrow my great granddaughter for the day and we can have a tea party.

    Revisionists, huh? No danger; their extremely intelligent and historically literate parents can set them straight as needed. :)

    Oh Amanda, your girls are adorable, and your posts always make me laugh. I love how much of your personality comes through in your writing!

    And- I think I did read somewhere in an Extremely Reliable Source that tea and crumpets were served atop beds of pink flowers on the Mayflower. ;)
