Just a little something: Vintage tea party

Vintage tea party

Inviting my dearest friends to my home for a vintage tea party was a lot of fun. I feel so blessed to share these times with them. Of course everyone dressed vintage (in their Sunday best) and brought some sweet or savoury food.

It was a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon enjoyed near our pretty garden under the pergola. Tea was served from big tea pots into pretty vintage fine bone china cups and champagne was poured into the old fashioned wide rimmed champagne glasses.

Pretty vintage flowers for the host

The food served was cucumber sandwiches, brandy snaps with cream and strawberries, quirky bright green hair icing chocolate cup cakes with a flower on top, banana cup cakes with pink sprinkles on the lemon icing, vanilla cake, cinnamon tea cake, mouth watering sausage rolls, a variety of chicken and ham sandwiches, mini quiches, and cream and jam filled lamingtons. There was so much food but by the end of the day it was all gone.

We just chatted about old times, new times, what we were doing over Easter break, painting workshops, and life in general with our fancy cups and side plates, and a lot of delectable foods and champagne. Life is good!

It was also great to have kiddie free time as most people arranged baby sitting in advance. It was a fairly relaxing afternoon. It was so quite compared to other times when all of the kids are here playing.

Invite by Cherrybliss designs

Renae (Cherrybliss Designs) did the vintage invitations which looked awesome.

Catie gave me some gorgeous flowers and took photos too, so thanks lovely.

Cakes by Jo Mignone

Jo came with (Clever Cakes) her awesome designer cakes. Jo runs her own cake business so we were very lucky enough to try the chocolate cup cakes.

Here are some more of Catie's pics using her iPhone and retro camera software. Now iPhone and software does not sound so vintage does it but they look old..
