      T hank you for sharing! I just started an online bakery, and was thinking about how to incorporate my backyard and wrap around front porch into my business. Private tea parties are a wonderful idea!

      Thanks so much, Candi. I had no idea tea parties could be so elaborate. You have thought of everything. My personality is pretty laid back and casual so I can’t really picture myself at a fancy tea party. But I do love my tea! 🙂
