Tea Time with EmenGee

Playing dress up has been one of my favorite things to do for as long as I can remember. As you grow up, finding opportunities to put on a costume and have a good times with friends becomes more and more difficult. For this reason I think that Tea Parties are a wonderful thing. Whether it's 2 or 20 of your girl friends, any number is a perfect opportunity to put on stunning hats, gloves, accessories and dresses and just sit around chatting or playing a game of EmenGee's favorite game, Rummy.

To help get you started, here is a little bit of inspiration from a few talented artists and vintage sellers on Etsy.
