A Perfect Party!

One of the joys of having an online shop is the contact that you get with like-minded people from all over the world. Some people buy their item, I post it & that's it. But others send lovely emails once the item has been received & some of them come back to shop again or keep up a friendly correspondence.

One such customer is Tammy from the USA - she purchased a selection of vintage china cups & saucers from me a little while ago as she was planning a tea party for her sweet daughter's 3rd birthday.

This week she sent me some lovely photos of the event that looked as if they were straight out of a magazine. I knew all you bloggers would love these photos too, I asked Tammy for permission to post them on my blog & she kindly agreed.

So, here are the photos of a superb tea party - I'm sure you will all be impressed with the gorgeous girls & the very smart "butler"!!

  13. The little one covered in a zillion beads is what being very little is all about. I wish someone would sort that kind of party out for me too.

  15. Thats so adorable Jayne, and lovely for you to see your vintage cups and saucers being put to such good use by such careful and elegant young ladies!

    My girls at that age were having bouncy castle parties...I never would have been able to get them to sit still for two minutes...paper cups were were a necessity!!

  22. Isn't that so sweet? I agree with you about how different customers are. Some I have made as friends just through them ordering through the website and we regularly email each other. Others order over and over yet there is no communication at all. It's so nice when they email and say how delighted they are with what they've bought isn't it?
