Fundraiser Tea Party

Thought you might like to see a "Tea Party Fundraiser" I worked.

I hosted a table.  People pay money to sit at your table. 

They are served the whole tea party spread, all homemade foods. 

I found out 24 hours before the event I was to host a table. 

I. Freaked. Out. 

I panicked and ran through the house,

gathering things I had on hand and just winged it. 

I like what I did.  I went with a literary/shabby theme.

Next year, I'll use shorter bud vases, but for 24 hours notice, I thought my table was kinda sweet. 

 

It was a special day.  I saw people I hadn't seen in years. 

People I've known my whole life through church. 

We ended up raising over $4,000 for scholarships for my

Alma Mater, Florida College. 

Over $4,000 just from a tea party is pretty good, eh? 

It was hard work, but it was wonderfully fulfilling. 

I'm already planning next years table. 

I'll have more than 24 hours notice next year.  :) 

 

I wish I had more time to take pictures of other tables. 

Each table had a theme and some were just adorable or especially lovely. 

PS:  I should add, all the books, tea cups, lace, plates and milk glass are mine, thrifted of course. 
And the Green Depression glass is mine, a gift from my mother-in-love.   

 

 

 

This is my sister-in-love and my son's girlfriend in front of my table.

 

Be blessed and be a blessing.

Encourage one another.

Choose Joy!

Pooh thinks sewing is much better than tea.  He thought the tea party was lame

because they didn't have tuna sandwiches.
