Real Party – Impromptu Tea Party Shoot
Because of that, I started collecting some great pieces and now they sit and mock me, because they don’t get to come out anymore. So, I decided to put together a little impromptu tea party shoot, just because. Plus, you can see how easy it is to throw something together for a real tea party with your little one, or with a grown up friend or two.
With storebought sweets and a few key pieces, it’s so easy to make a pretty setup. I’m going through a vintage phase and have been looking for new pieces to add to my collection. My first major score, the green trunk. I’ve been looking for one for awhile and wouldn’t you know, when I went to Spokane, grandma had two and let me have one. I’m definitely going to be adding more to my arsenal.
The fabulous Carmen of The Flair Exchange sent me one of her tassel garland sets in cool to check out. They are precut tissue sheets and all you have to do is twist and assemble them. Fabulously easy, and after making my own for another party, I truly admire her skills and have no desire to make them from scratch anytime soon.
Break out those cookie cutters and make cute sandwiches…throw in a few blueberry scones and you are set.
Another one of my favorite scores is this metal toy stove from one of my favorite antique shops…it makes the perfect cupcake stand. The minute I first opened the oven door, all I could see was a cupcake inside. Nailed it!
I love that I can find affordable gourmet cupcakes for last minute entertaining fabulousness. When was the last time you saw pearls on a grocery store cupcake?
