Our dear family friends, the Stiefvaters, treated Isabella to her first tea party--a fabulous way to celebrate girlhood in all its glory! Isabella also officially received her Indian princess name as chosen by the great East o' the Sun, West o' the Moon: Princess Spring Vine. Way back when we were kids several of the Theta Chi daughters were given special Indian princess names by Annie Stiefvater (East of the Sun, West of the Moon). We spent long summer hours playing outside and swimming in the pool at Casa Accampo donning our Indian Princess monikers. I was Princess Fishing Water, Mary was Princess Plum Tree and Kate was Princess Moonbeam. It seemed only fitting to have our new little princess receive a name of her own. Welcome to the tribe babe!

The Princess enjoys her "tea"
The site of the tea party was the beautiful Sheraton Palace in San Francisco
Sitting close to us was a group of women, the Sisters of the (Tea) Leaf, who once a month get together to have tea somewhere in Northern California. They were the sweetest ladies and we were envious of their hats and wraps. 
Before we knew it Mary had become one of the Sisters...
The cute girlie tea party clothes came off (the baby, of course) as the fatigue set in. Nothing like sitting in a chair fit for a Queen as you are drifting off to dream land.

I love tea parties! And the hats. Sounds so fun. That place looks pretty regal and suitable for a tea party.
