Springtime means tea party celebrations. In 2010, the theme of the spring tea I coordinated for the ladies of my church was aprons.

Shannon [below] modeled her deceased Grandmother's apron.
Every apron has a story to tell, so I read the stories.
I saved the best 'til the last -- the dear lady in the photo below is an eighty-something, retired minister's wife, and she's holding her mother's apron. She didn't know when she was sharing memories of the apron that I was going to surprise her shortly thereafter by honoring her at the tea party.
Don't you just love surprises?
There were lots of tributes and a new hankie apron. It was the perfect ending to an apron themed tea party!
If you've had an apron-themed tea party, I'd love to hear about it.
Our church held an apron-themed tea party several years ago. I blogged about it at the time. It was great fun and easy to decorate for.
ReplyDeleteYour event looks and sounds delightful!
I have never participated in an apron themed tea party but it sounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to an apron-themed tea either, but I find the idea absolutely charming! I LOVE hearing how the women's various memories were shared. I'll bet this was a memorable event for the ladies lucky enough to attend!
ReplyDeleteA very clever theme!
ReplyDeleteWe had a apron-themed luncheon for the ladies at our church a couple of years ago - and I used that same clip-art on the tickets and programs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute tea! Love that cake too!
