On a warm, sunny spring afternoon, Nanette puts on her finest white lace dress and sunhat to host a very important backyard tea party under the blooming blossom tree.
She sets a table with pink cups, a purple teapot, and plenty of sweet treats, carefully arranging chairs for her three best companions: Barnaby, a giant, fluffy teddy bear with a red bowtie; Celestia, a pearly unicorn who adores strawberry tarts; and Pip, a tiny, glowing fairy princess with a big laugh. Curious about the girl having a full conversation with empty chairs, her neighbor Rose peeks over the fence.
