The New Tea Time Our Generation Set Review!

Madelon recently purchased the newer Tea for Two set by Our Generation. Personally I have the previous one and I did not think they could improve upon it but wow! We love this set!


"It has so much: tea pot, sugar pot with sugar inside, two cups with saucers, two small spoons, one serving tray, 1 tea tin with removable lid, 2 tea bag, 6 macaroons, 2 raisin scones, 2 fruit tarts, 2 chocolate cookies, 2 mini sandwiches, jar of jam, tea cozy and trivet."
 What an incredible place set check out the adorable tea cozy and mini macaroons!
"The tea pot has subtle pink hearts on the side of the pot!"
So much detail in this set! Check out the tea bags!
 Okay My personal favorite accessory in the package!
Love, love, love this!
Look at the little sugar cubes!
The colors of the food are so inviting.
the string is a really great touch!
Such a fantastic play set!
Even the scones are adorable! The only thing Madelon thinks that this set needs is plates! None included but with everything else in this play set it is easy to over look!
Thank you Madelon for sharing this play set with us.

Madelon's Fabulous Friday Fun Finds!

Today Madelon wanted to share with you an Our Generation outfit and beautiful doll shopping boxes she found. "First, the boxes. When in Paris, Grace shopped at Champs-Élysées and this is how she brought home her purchases."
"These boxes were 88 cents at Target!
They have beautiful ribbons that work perfectly as doll sized handles.
Grace is resting after a long day of shopping in "Paris"
Today Grace is modeling a wonderful new Our Generation outfit that is so very French!
The blue shoes are fantastic (but maybe better with a different outfit) I love the pink laces!
We recommend this outfit and boxes! Great find Madelon!
