February is the time of year when the winter blues are at their peak. To help distract myself and my friends form the cold, I usually try to have a get together of some sort during the month. After binge watching the most recent season of Downton Abbey, I decided that this year my winter blues party would be a tea party!
To give the affair a classic tea party vibe I picked up a china tea cup for each of my guests at a second hand store.
I asked my mom to borrow a tablecloth and hit the jackpot when she found an old crochet cloth stored away in her basement. To finish it off, I bought a few fresh flowers for the table.
I think it turned out pretty nicely, if I do say so myself... BUT I can't say I wasn't a little disappointed when Scentsy's Lace warmer was released only 2 weeks later...
Lace would have been the perfect accent with its vintagey lace pattern imprinted into the porcelain. I would have used a classic floral Scentsy bar reminiscent of an English garden to compliment the mood.
Simply Rose or French Lavender would both be perfect choices for a tea party, but if I were having another party tomorrow I'd likely use new, Peony Petals.
Here is Scentsy's description of the fragrance -- "Peony and rose petals dance on a soft breeze."
Peony Petals smells like a mixed bouquet of highly fragrant spring flowers. While still a true floral scent, it's more modern than some of Scentsy's soliflore options (ie. Lush Gardenia, Simply Rose and French Lavender). It's in the same vein as Chole, fans of that perfume will likely love Peony Petals as well.
Visit our online store to purchase Lace and Peony Petals, and bring a touch of Downton Abbey to your home as well!
Cheers,
Beth
