Tennis Doll Outfits

Vintage Barbie in her "Tennis Anyone?" outfit. This is so pretty! Barbie is ready to hit the courts.

This adorable tennis outfit fits all American Girl dolls. Just go onto the American Girl Doll website and the outfit for your doll is $34.  My daughter loved American Girl Dolls and we went to the American Girl Doll Place in Chicago twice and it is one of my fondest Mother/Daughter memories. 

Tennis Art

This Arthur Ash inspirational art is made to order. It is from the Etsy store Nativevermont. The size is 12 x 12 x 1.5 and is on a stretched wood frame canvas. This can also be ordered with a navy blue background.

This Union Jack picture is for sale on the Amazon.co.uk website it is a fridge magnet/wall sign.  The prices are listed in pounds. The size is listed in metric.  Conversion charts anyone? The sign is sold from signs2all ltd.

Fun Tennis Items

Don't you just love the chalkboard tennis racquet? This would be a really easy DIY project. They sell chalkboard paint practically everywhere. Then you could use the chalkboard racquet to keep track of your matches and scores. It would even be cute in a kitchen to write your grocery list. 

I love these tennis cake balls. I think I will try to make them after the holidays. However, if you would like to buy them you can order them from SatisfyingSweets.com. A dozen tennis cake pops is $18 plus shipping. The cake pops are covered in sugar so that the cake balls look fuzzy like actual tennis balls.

After Tennis Snack

Wouldn't this make a wonderful after tennis snack? Lemonade and tiny lemon bars. 

This is from a party originally posted on thetomkatstudio.com.

Napkin Ring Store in Tennis Ball Can

I thought this was a fabulous idea.  Because tennis cans are clear you can see your napkin rings and you will always be able to coordinate your napkins and napkin rings.

I found this inventive idea on Ritsmay-days.blogspot.com on the September 15, 2010 post. Check it out!

Another Wimbledon Tea (Because I am Obsessed)

This Wimbledon afternoon tea is at the Dorchester Hotel. And once again I found this tea on Glam.UK.com.

Check out the Citrus Court and the Coconut Smash Tennis Ball. This tea is served with a glass of champagne and accompanied with the trational strawberries and cream, scones and finger sandwiches. 

I am thinking about making my own Wimbledon tea this year. I already have so many ideas!

I am Obsessed with Wimbledon

Anyone who has been reading my blog - knows that I am obsessed with Wimbledon. I can't help it - something about the grass, white tennis clothes and strawberries and cream. 

I have actually been to the U.S. Open and I was lucky enough to attend the second week - so I saw the quarterfinal, semifinal and final matches. The U.S. Open is spectacular and I thoroughly enjoyed it! There is nothing like a New York crowd at a sporting event! But I really want to go to Wimbledon. 

The above photo is from the glam.co.uk website and it is a photo of an afternoon tea Wimbledon style at the Royal Horseguard Hotel in Whitehall. The tea includes homemade tennis ball truffles filled with champagne jelly, strawberry or mint ganache. They also have Wimbledon logo cupcakes, fresh cream, strawberries and scones. All of tea treats are served with a pot of traditional English tea.

This tea is only available during the tournament.  At the bottom of the post you can click on other hotel Wimbledon teas and they are also amazing. When I go to Wimbledon I am definitely going to a Wimbledon tea.
