Mother-Daughter Tea & Flower Market Memories

I've never been to a tea...and maybe you haven't either...but I bet you have an idea of what a proper tea party is supposed to be like. In my mind I had images of decadent desserts, dainty tea cups and maybe even a fancy hat (ok, I look really bad in hats, but that's just me.) I was just excited to put on a pretty dress and sip tea with my pinky in the air...which I'm pretty sure is a rule when drinking tea.

More important than following the "rules" of tea, we wanted to create an environment for mothers and daughters to create a memory.  After tea and dessert the mother-daughter duos created bouquets to take home from our fresh flower market.  Hopefully each of them will remember this experience and the time they spent together for years to come.

Wine Tasting Social


Out of all the exciting events we have lined up for The Vintage House I was anticipating this one the most.   After lots of planning and shopping and decorating all I wanted to do was eat good food and drink good wine with our lovely guests.    And I'm happy to say both of these goals were accomplished.   

People seemed appreciative of the laid back and relaxing atmosphere of our informal wine social.  It was great to have a wine specialist present to describe the wines and how they paired with the appetizers.  However, my favorite part was hearing about the vineyards and regions of Italy where the grapes are grown.  Wine really does taste better with a beautiful mental image to back it up.
