Engagement Tea Party

If you follow me on Instagram (patchworkhrmy - come join!) you may have already seen some of these little snaps.  Last weekend, me and my fiancé (still feels a little weird to say that!) were over staying with my folks in N. Ireland, and they threw us a little engagement party! The theme, of course, was Vintage Tea Party...

 

my mum's preparation for this was pretty extensive, collecting china, cakestands, jam jars, doilies and decorations  - and the baking! Wow- the baking! I think there may have been enough cake to fill an olympic swimming pool!

and then there was the gigantic cupcake! oh yes! pretty spectacular!

We had a lovely day with family & friends, and decided my mum definitely missed her calling - she shoulda run a tearoom! :) thanks M & D! xx
