For years as an educator I have had an opportunity to take students and parents alike overseas.  I have experienced traditional tea parties in China, Japan and even Paris.  My family regularly partakes in tea parties and I have hosted many tea party events.  I am a huge fan of all things vintage tea party, including clothing, tea cups and recipes.
