May 4, 2012Ideas for Hosting a High Tea Party
If you find yourself organising a kitchen tea or bridal shower, in most cases it would be for your best friend. I found myself in this very position a few years back (Gill's best friend happens to be Pink Frosting founder, Kathryn Porritt)! I have to admit, up until then I had never been to a kitchen tea and so had no idea what they were or if there were certain rules to follow! Looking back on the whole experience, the best tip I can give you is to follow your heart! I know this sounds a bit corny, but you are the one who knows your friend inside out and therefore your inspiration comes from their favourite things. more »

January 29, 2012To Evite or Invite?
The much loved and appreciated received in the mail invite is becoming a rarity.

I love a good cup of tea. I put this down to the fact that my family hail from the UK. I love nothing more than starting my morning with a cup of white or green tea, enjoying a little Earl Grey with my morning tea and winding down with a cup of Chamomile tea. If I am down with a cold or flu I drink green tea with a little bit of ginger and lemon mixed in. more »
