This last weekend I helped my mom with a bridal shower for a good friend of ours. She seriously is one of the sweetests girls you could possibly meet and we wanted to do something special for her. We did a Tea Party theme, because it TOTALLY fits her personality. And what a tea party it was! My mom loves to throw parties, which is a trait that was passed on from her mother, which she got from HER mother. They all have loved dishes, and my mom inherited a lot of beautiful dishes from my grandma. We don't drink actual tea, so the pretty teacups and saucers that they collected have never really been used but this was a perfect opportunity to break them out and show them off! Antique hankies, doilies, and tea towels with hand stitched embroidery and tatted lace from my grandma and great-grandma that have been folded neatly in dusty boxes were also brought out and used to decorate. We polished off some of their old brooches, pins, and pearls to add a little sparkle to the table.
