A friend was throwing a teddy bear baby shower and I said I had quite a few teddy bears that they could borrow. I inherited a lot of vintage dolls and bears from my late grandmother. Thank goodness for Costco 45 gallon totes!
I dug out my bin of teddy bears for her, but before I dropped them off at her house, I decided to do a quick Winter Teddy Tea Party Tablescape
I love Tea Parties. Here is a post of many I have thrown.
I think they are vintage and cute and perfect for teddy bears!
First, I dressed the bears in winter clothing.
I had to swap a few outfits so that all the bears that I wanted to use were in winter clothing.
Next, I set the table using supplies I had on hand (supply list below).
Then I put 3 Scottish Tartan placemats down in the center as a tablerunner and protector for the teapots to sit on.
The table is real wood and you always want something under the teapots to protect it.
Then I put a bunch of cute teddy bears in the center of the table as the focal point.
Next, I set out china, goblets, flatware, napkins, tea cups and saucers and tweed placemats.
I set out two teapots on both sides of the centerpiece.
Then, on each setting, I placed a teddy bear.
If I were to have this for a real crew of guests, I would definitely say they could take a bear home. I love to declutter and whatever you set on a setting is known to be a favor.
Since, I was just experimenting with this idea, I kept all the bears and am looking forward to a bear-themed Christmas tree this year.
That’s it.
It only took me about an hour to set up. Feel free to scroll through the gallery to the supply list below. Thanks!
Supply List for this Winter Teddy Tea Party Tablescape
white napkins folded into triangles

salt and pepper shakers (marble and wood)
Crochet tablecloth
3 plaid placemats
variety of tea cups and saucers

Lots of bears in all their varieties—most are Boyd Bears. IF you’d like to find a specific one, screenshot the bear and upload it to A.I. and ask it to find it for you. Many Boyd Bears can be found on Amazon. A few of these are Gund. The rest I am not sure.
Happy Tea Time!
