Vintage Valentine Tea Party at Lilly Cottage.




























At Linda and Tim's Vintage Valentine Tea Party yesterday, we were surrounded by so many handmade goodies and other gorgeous items from their store Lilly Cottage. on Bribie Island..... Not to mention endless cups of tea in vintage china and home-made scrumptiousness.

The red velvet cake was truly special...as was Tims's footwear!
Very Cool!
Very Dapper Tim.


Great to catch up with some bloggy friends too!

Thank you so much Linda and Tim (and your three children) for hosting a really lovely afternoon.
Can't wait for the next one!

A Tea Party with a Certain Style...

If you were looking for me yesterday, this is where you would have found me.
I was invited to a Mad Tea Party on Bribie Island...

...An idyllic location Linda of Lilly Cottage chose to host her Mad Hatters Tea Party.
Just look at her style!


 On the Esplanade at Banksia Beach.
You can see the stunning backdrop of the Glasshouse Mountains in the distance.


Before we could sit on these gorgeous mis-matched chairs...


or sit at the beautifully adorned table with muffins in vintage cups, coloured vintage glassware and vintage teapots...


...and displays of vintage glass bottles...


...we had to find our own tea cup!
 The rules were simple.
We had to find a matching tea-cup and saucer that just happened to be hidden in long grass.
So much fun!

So.... passers-by were treated to a glorious vision of women frantically rummaging in the long grass on the foreshore....all in the name of tea of course!
.

Pomegranate Punch anyone?




Fabulous food, friendly and very chatty company and a totally beautiful setting.

The gorgeous Linda and her very dapper husband Tim catered for our every need.

They organised a game of croquet - how posh!

Forgetting (I really don't know how) to try one of Tim's home-made heart shaped scones.. I am hoping there will be a next time!


Thanks for a fabulous Tea Party day on Bribie Island.
A Tea Party with a certain Linda style...perfect in every way.

I am sure I won't be the only one to be inspired to host my own tea party...one day!
