Tearoom Takeover at The "It's darling!" Fair - 26th March

Very exciting news...The Secret Tea Party is taking over the tearoom at The "It's darling!" Fair on 26th March at The Friend's Meeting House in Bath. It won't be a usual STP ie a ticketed event, but instead an all-day cafe with vintage china, vintage soundtrack, cakes, sandwiches and of course, The Pop Up Parlour stylists, Inma and Lou who will be bringing their gorgeous dressing table of goodies to make you over, either vintage-style or cocktail party - just in time for Saturday night. "It's darling!" is a free event with over 20 stalls selling vintage and handmade delights so there's no excuse not to pop it in your diary and drop by. If you want to come along and pre-book styling, please email secretteaparty@mrsstokes.com - prices are £8 for hair or make-up and £15 for both.

The Second Secret Tea Party January 29th 2011

At 12pm yesterday, Rosie turned up at the Stage Door of the Theatre Royal, Bath. She'd come all the way from Swansea to spend a day in Bath as part of a surprise birthday present for her friend Charlotte - and part of that gift was a ticket to The Secret Tea Party - hosted by Mrs Stokes Vintage China (me). Unfortunately Rosie was a bit early and I was running late so Rosie took Charlotte round the shops for another hour.
And in that sixty minutes I manically laid up the tables in the 1805 rooms above the theatre with vintage linens, vintage mirrors and candlesticks and of course, my vintage china, helped by Jason who is the theatre's restaurant manager. I used the sets I've decided to keep for these events and also for hire. By 1pm people were arriving, but as The Pop Up Parlour stylists, Inma and Lou had been delayed in traffic in Bristol, they were just putting the finishing touches to my hair and make-up as the excited ladies started streaming in. But what a gorgeous bunch they were....and by the time Inma and Lou had finished with them they were even more beautiful and stylish. Sadly for me, my camera didn't work so I'm relying on the guests to supply the pics (and I borrowed Rosie from Swansea's camera at one point which was generous of her, although I think I was pretty unartistic about it all). But to start with click here to see one lovely lady's (Ceriselle's) snaps.
