Sweet Violet Tea Party.......SURPRISE !


Every girl loves a tea party
and
 every girl loves jewellery !

Today on FRENCH BLUE AND PEACHY PINK I reveal a sneaky peak of my new jewellery range that I will soon be selling.

I am showing you one of my favourite pieces
(modelled by my beautiful daughter). 
It is handmade with antique lace direct from the French countryside.

It is a lovely French lace cuff worn tied around the wrist. It features a stunning vintage buckle and pearls.  All handmade with loads of love.

and I think a tea party is a perfect way to show my new creation off.

So fill up your tea cups and enjoy my little tea party (and of course there are violets everywhere !!!)


Would anybody like a slice of sponge cake ?

Just pass me your plate.....

click on the smaller pics and they'll grow into full size photo's :-)


This lovely violet coloured slab is French sugar .Simply break off a piece and slip into your tea.Aren't they just the softest, prettiest shade of violet ?

One lump or two ?
going
going
gone !

OOPS !  "Mum you forgot the spoon !"
(typical teenager !)

So what do you all think of my newest creation ?

Do you think they are pretty ?
 While you take a look, I am going to sit here and enjoy my tea.....

                                             and a slice of cake !


and most of all I will smell my lovely violets !

I have so enjoyed my week of violets, the delicate little ladies that they are.  The little sweet smelling, self sowing little delights !

I hope that I have brought back fond memories of your Grandmothers garden.
Maybe some of you will pop out to the shops later and buy yourself a plant or two ?

Mostly I hope that you have all enjoyed my photo's and story telling.

and thankyou for being the first ones to view a sneaky peek at my little surprise.
I really value your opinions so feedback on my little piece of jewellery would be just lovely. Do you like it ?
 I know that it was only one little piece......but still ! lol
Many many thanks to you all !

Have a wonderful weekend
and I will see you all next week !

Love
Melanie

    Very creative and romantic. I love all of your violets and purples. You presented them so beautifully. That sugar is really neat.
    Good luck with your lacy cuff!

    Your lacy cuff is so elegant and is pretty on the hand of your daughter. The lavender china is truly picture perfect for a teascape! The interesting part was the sugar cubes and it would great to serve at a tea party!
    Many lovely photos of the special tea time.

    Thanks, Pam
