Tea parties, which have been around since 1662, had their start with this historical event:
“… the first tea party was hosted in England. In 1662 Catherine of Braganza, the wife of King Charles II, hosted the first ever tea party on record following the marriage of her and the king. Queen Catherine was originally a Portuguese princess, born into the noble house of Braganza by her father, King John IV of Portugal. As a wedding gift to King Charles II and Queen Catherine, the Portuguese royal family gave her a casket full of tea.” Hackberry Tea
That’s fun to know, right? Well, 362 years later, tea parties have become quite the thing here and we have all the niceties to help you, including a tea party essential, tiered stands. Coming up in the next few weeks we have several parties booked and we need lots of them, so we are crafting a few.
We are well on our way – just 3-4 more to fashion. After we coordinate the stand with a teapot, tea cups, small plates, creamer and sugar, and platter, we’ll be ready for our clients’ tea party!
