There are so many wonderful ways to turn a tea party into a chance to make the world a better place!  Be sure to decorate and set your table to match the theme!

Donation tea parties simply request that guests bring food for a food pantry or clothes for a clothing drive.

Shelter Help donation tea parties request that guests bring items for shelters such as toothbrushes, soaps, and combs.  Provide shoe boxes or ask guests to bring what they have available.  Boxes can be decorated with contact paper or artwork and packed with supplies.  Specific items and clothing donations needed can be found HERE!

Cheer up a nursing home tea parties provide art supplies such as markers, paper, envelopes and glitter so that guests can make cheerful cards to give out at a local nursing home.

Help a cause tea parties are another great idea!  Find a cause that you want to assist and ask them what they need.  Maybe it's banners to be made or envelopes to be stuffed.  Set up a work table and get to work before or after you eat.

New mom tea parties are like a baby shower, but are focused more on emotional support and inspiration for the mom to be or new mom.  Did you know that you can get stickers with Bible verses to put on diapers!  Inquire HERE!  Make pages for a booklet with thoughts, sayings, and anecdotes that helped you through those first few wild months of motherhood.

Soldier care package tea parties provide a way to send gift packs to those serving their country in far away places.  Provide a list of what is appreciated and approved and have your guests bring items to pack.  Notes of thanks can also be made to tuck inside!

Soldier blanket tea parties provide a way to decorate and make easy non-sew blankets for soldiers.  Find information on Soldier Blankets here!

Help the Homeless!  Similar to shelter and soldier boxes, shoe boxes of practical gifts for the homeless are a wonderful and creative way to put smiles on faces.  Socks, gloves, band aids, deodorant, gift cards, combs, toothbrushes....  find more ideas HERE!

Help a neighbor(s) by mending tea parties.  Think practical!  Collect clothing that needs mending from a new mom or a sick friend.  Have a mending party!  Can you imagine if someone took that depressing clothing pile from you and returned it with all the mending complete??

We're sure you'll start thinking of many more ideas once you've read ours... will you send them to us for our next blog?  We'd love it!  Spread the love!

Nancy is preparing for a trip to Paris!  Yes, really!  Did you know that scarves are all the rage in France and are worn pretty much daily to add color and flair to the more neutral tones of the typical Parisian ensemble.

While planning a way to take only a carry on and a small bag even for a 16 day trip, I decided to plan my outfits carefully with mix and match neutral items and several scarves to change things up.

If you love scarves, you'll love this amazing video on ways to wear them!  You'll be able to use these with our florence scarf and even our gorgeous peacock shawls!

One way to make somone feel great on their special day is to send them a card, but not just any card will do. One adorable gift idea for a birthday greeting would be our Hankie Dress Greeting Cards that include an adorable card with a real hankie fashioned into a lovely dress.  Each card comes with a its own envelope for mailing.

Want a gift that is boxed and ready to give?  RosesAndTeacups.com has the perfect gift for that!  Our Gift Boxed Mugs and Gift Boxed Teacups are a customer favorite for the Christmas Holiday along with Bridal Parties, Employee Appreciation, Birthdays and more. Our porcelain gift boxed mugs and teacups are ready to give with a matching box and lid that already has a satin bow for a lovely presentation. Available as well are our Matching Gift Boxed Teapots to complete the set. 

  

We love hearing how many smiles have been made over the years when R&T gift boxed items are received. That's what gift giving is all about as it's not just giving an item but giving something beautiful in order to give that person a bit of happiness. We have heard from our customers that the gift boxes are so loved and thought to be so pretty that they are kept in bedrooms and bathrooms as decorative storage while the mug or teacup is enjoyed daily. So neat! Julie (Co-owner shown below) loves giving the gift boxed mugs to her children's teachers as a Thank You gift for all of their hard work.

  

We love the thought of a child opening her first tea set and all the memories associated with little girls tea parties! So that leads us to our Childrens or Little Girls Teasets in which we have a large of variety of styles and patterns to select from. When we are packing orders up to ship out we can tell a lot of the times by looking at the bill to and ship to address that the package is most likely shipping as a gift.  Just thinking of the smiles and the fun to be had is heart warming and makes our days brighter as we pack order and send them on their way.  Grandmothers having tea with their granddaughters and moms with their daughters making memories that last a lifetime are things to cherish.  We like to imagine little Teddy Bears joining in on the fun of having a tea party. :) Yeah we really do think of the happiness these items bring as we go about our days which is one of the great joys of working at Roses And Teacups.

   

There are so many more items that are given to brighten someone's day that our customers are sending but if we listed them all this post would not fit on the blog! :)  We are proud to be a part of the process to provide those moments in which a person's day has just been made brighter by the kind act of giving.  We just don't pull the items from the shelves and ship but are aware that our items are indeed as our slogan says, "A Pathway To Beautiful Moments."
