Tea Party Animal

I have a serious love affair with tea! While some people collect coins or stamps, I am a collector of tea sets, old and new. To me, there's something elegant about the English tradition of afternoon tea. It's the perfect excuse to dress up and socialize.

Host a tea party for your girlfriends (or your child's birthday) on a budget! All you need is tea, dainty sandwiches and/or cakes and pastries to make for the quintessential afternoon tea experience. Little girls (and adult women) would jump at the opportunity to wear big hats and long gloves.

I recently had a tea party for two (me + my fiancé). He certainly wasn't as excited about the tea party as I was, which is completely understandable. :) See how I styled my tea party for two below and checkout the links to my favorite tea related accessories.
