Here are a few of my favorite finds that happen to be my idea of the perfect tea party. ;)
Knitting // Of course there will be knitting and of course it will all happen while hanging upside down. ;-) Just kidding! I know this adorable vintage print doesn't exactly go with a tea party...but I couldn't leave it out!
Crochet // A lovely crochet tea cosy by Maria Valles.
Etsy // Perfect for sipping, delicate vintage tea cups from Bella Casella.
Style // I would love to wear any look from the Red Valentino Fall 2012 collection. Each outfit is absolutely beautiful! Found via Honey Kennedy.
Art // We have to watch Downton Abby. That is a must. I love this illustration by Kelsey Garrity-Riley.
Food // For an extra lady-like finish, we can snack on these ridiculous looking Red Velvet S'mores Bars by How Sweet It Is.Oh how I wish I could have you all over for a tea party this evening instead of writing papers and reading. How was your weekend? It rained a lot on Saturday so I spent the day inside and tackled a big portion of my paper. Now I just have to see it through. :)
Happy Sunday to you all!







the tea cups are lovely, and so is the illustration.
ReplyDeleteThis s'mores look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteEverything would be wonderful! Especially love the nod to Downton Abbey and the teacups!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to make those red velvet s'mores brownies, and they would look extra pretty next to those lovely tea cups.
ReplyDeleteThose teacups are the sweetest! They have been in my faves, tempting me.
ReplyDeleteI love this list! Especially the tea cups, Downton Abbey illustration (obsessed) and the red velvet smores bars.

Love that illustration! And I wish I had those s'mores to eat while watching the Downton finale later tonight!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those tea cups!!! I found it at an antique store in town just a few weeks ago. It makes me so happy!
ReplyDeleteTea parties are so fun! The cups are adorable as is the dress!
ReplyDeleteDownton Abbey is brilliant and now that the second season is over, it's almost as if my life is on hold until it comes back again. So sad. So obsessed.
ReplyDeleteI know! I don't know what to watch now that I'm caught up on Season 2. So very sad...
DeleteLove the tea cosy! Great list.
ReplyDeleteI know how you could tie #1 into a tea party, but that on the invites!
ReplyDeleteI have to say those red velvet smores look so incredibly tasty. Our favorite take on smores has been using Reese cups instead of Hershey bars. It's heavenly!
I like that idea! ;-)
DeleteI'd say SO, those are amazing exquisite finds!!!
ReplyDeleteThe knitting might be fun, hanging like that. Especially when the whole group does it. The tea drinking on the other hand!
ReplyDeleteI really love the vintage cups too.
Have a nice day!
I would absolutely love to come to one of your ideal tea parties!

DeleteOoh what a lovely tea party idea! Wish it was happening and that I could come along! Oh Downton, how I miss thee!
