Tea For Two & Two For Tea




One day as I was watching Anne of Green Gables with some of my friends, I sat to ponder why we, as a society, don't have tea parties anymore. I mean, think about it; a bunch of ladies dress up nice, eat yummy food and get to talk with no manly guys to interrupt their conversation. Yay woman talk!

So I decided that I was going to throw a tea party and I wanted to invite everyone but seeing as that was impossible, I had to painfully limit my guests to 5 other ladies.

I wanted this to be legit. So I went to DI and started looking for tea cups in all their variety and I found some pretty cute ones that would do the job yet look elegant.

Next, I just HAD to have metal...uh, I mean silver serving platters for all of our dainty tea food.


Let me just say the set-up was amazing and we had so much fun sipping tea and talking like old gossipy ladies. Except we didn't gossip. We have modern class.

Okay, so don't think I'm creepy cause I "stumbled" over your blog. But yes, Christian and I are now followers. And thankyou for the tea party! It was so lovely! Next summer it should be a weekly tradition if we're all still around. -Ryann
