Sunday I went to the best fund raising event that I think I have ever been to.....
Some very kind Ladies and Gentlemen organised a grown up 'Mad Hatters Tea Party' to help raise money for the village.
It was brilliant, and had a really simple but great WOW factor.
It was held in a long rectangular white marquee - modern but perfect shape in shape and design.
(This was for adults only - kiddies had their own marquee)
A long beautifully decorated table ran down the middle, covered in white with a soft old fashioned kinda pink runner down the center upon which sat the most wonderfully delicate china tea cups and saucers, beautiful china cake stands and fantastic china tea pots, sugar bowls, and milk jugs! - The china was made up from many different very old services but all some how matched and looked totally perfect together. This was what gave it the huge WOW factor. China, beautiful proper china!! Every thing was kept to pastels even the many bunches of balloons were in keeping!
There were around 100-120 place setting and the whole thing just looked incredible. Like walking into a dream.
We had little sandwiches and a glorious selection of home made fancy little cakes of all types even the icing on the cup cakes was kept to pastels. The tea pots, sandwich platters (again beautiful old china) and cake stands were constantly topped up with more and more temptations!
What a simple but brilliant idea.
SIMPLY PERFECT!
A huge thank you to all those that made a great day!

it was beautiful fine bone china and all looked really quite posh. I think they bought most of it is services of 6 or more! so each place setting in its own right matched.
