I went to a cute and fun baby shower Saturday. The organizer, Nathalie designed a tea party event because the mom-to-be is a tea connoisseur. Everyone participated by bringing food. She split the food into the salty table and the sweet table. It was beautifully done. The baby shower was a success.
Nat well stocked her tea station. It was done so that we can quickly and easily serve different teas. She put 5 teapots on the table, filled her retro thermos with hot water and had an assortment of tea. She had more tea leaves on her side buffet.
Her sweet buffet table feel festive. Her cheerful looks almost all came from the colorful tableware and tins. Silk flowers complete her setting. Each time, I go at her place, I envy her rustic table island on her kitchen; it is so gorgeous.
The woman who did the cucumber sandwich, used a single-blade hand mandolin slicer that reminds me of my micro blade grater. I have a V-slicer by Zyliss. It works fabulously well but there are times where I wish to get a smaller one. I guess I found the topic of another post.
If you have a baby shower coming soon, I recommend the tea party formula.

Beautiful! Who would not love tea time at any of those settings. I love the second photo with the molded sugar and silver spoons…

This is great! I love that nothing really matches– gives the party an “alice in wonderland” type of feel. Have a lovely weekend!

Jess: I am glad that you mentioned it. It works because they were many items on the table. She gathered the element of each set or things that are similar to create a cohesive feeling.
