So here I am with tablescaping ideas for dressing room, walk-in-closets and vanity tables..,
What followed was a fun frolic of playing dress-up after enjoying afternoon tea..Fun! Out came the white feather boas and the the fun ensued!..,
AS I WAS PERUSING MY BLOG ARCHIVES I CAME UPON THESES PICTURES AND DECIDED TO RE-POST THIS ON MY, THE FRENCH DRESSING ROOM, BLOG TODAY.., Enjoy!
First, find out..,
In this blog post you will find both afternoon tea and dress makers mannequins amongst side other lovely inspirations..,
I LOVE THESE DRESS MAKERS FORMS/ MANNEQUINS, FROM CORSET LACED MANNEQUINS!..,
Our tea party menu was actually quite simple as Afternoon Tea's go. It consisted of warm blueberry scones served with Cream Of Earl Grey Tea flavored, clotted cream..,
THE CLOTTED CREAM WAS ALSO SERVED WITH GINGER JAM CONSERVE AND WHIPPED CREAMY BUTTER. ALSO THERE WERE DAINTY TEA SANDWICHES, BOTH EGG SALAD SANDWICHES THAT WERE EDGED IN SNIPPED CHIVES AND SPECIAL TUNA SALAD SANDWICHES, WHICH WERE OH-SO-DELECTABLE AND MADE BY DEAR GAIL..,
There was also a dainty chocolate cheesecake iced with fresh creamy sweet whipped real cream and drizzled in caramel and chocolate sauces and sliced almonds as a garnish. ~ The cake was then edged in fresh strawberries..,
Essentially that was it!
~ The cupcakes, chocolate truffles, sugar glittered strawberry and pears were faux ones and were used as pretty little decorative accents AND NOW.., HERE IS THE FUN INSPIRATION PART..,
~ PRETTY LITTLE DECORATIVE, VANITY DRESSING TABLE 'PROPS' THAT YOU CAN ALSO USE FOR YOUR VANITY TABLES..,
THE KIND OF LITTLE VANITY TABLE ITEMS THAT I SOMETIMES USE IN MY DRESSING ROOM ON MY VANITY TABLE..,
TAKE A FRESH LOOK AT WHAT YOU OWN WITH FRESH EYES.., COULD YOU RE-PURPOSE A CANDY DISH, A SAUCER, A CRYSTAL OR SILVER DISH? YOU CAN EVEN RE-PUPOSE PICTURE FRAMES AS JEWELRY HOLDERS..,
~ HAVE FUN BEING CREATIVE IN YOUR DRESSING ROOM AND/OR YOUR WALK IN CLOSET, YOUR CLOSET, YOUR EN SUITE BATH WITH THE USE OF YOUR VANITY AND DRESSING TABLE ACCESSORIES..,
..,BY USING ITEMS OF MANY KINDS FOR USE HOLDING MAKE-UP, MAKE UP BRUSHES, HAIR ACCESSORIES, FLOWERS, PERFUME BOTTLES, NAIL POLISH , JEWELERY, ETC.
~ So whether you are serving a tea party or decorating your dressing room closet, you can freely 'cross-pollinate' decor ideas.., FUN! ~ ALWAYS BE INSPIRED!
Now here comes the fun part!.., What do you see in these images and pictures that you own that might be similar? ~ What, 'special something', from these pretty tea party dishes and accoutrement's has inspired you to try your hand at re-purposing an item or two in your own home?
A very good time was had by one and all! ~ One of my all time favorite tea parties to date; a 'visits to the dressing room closet to play dress up with the girls', kind of
afternoon tea.
