Monthly Theme Parties Over the Teacup is an innovator, dedicated to introducing the art of afternoon tea to all generations. Perhaps a little ahead of its time, we believe it is time to show that taking tea does not have to be stuffy all the time. Tea can have a touch of whimsy; therefore, there are occasions when you may be invited to dress in a special way to carry out the theme, or to decorate an article of clothing to set the tone during these monthly teas. We sometimes break the rules, but a Tealightful time is always had.  Of course there are themes that are of a more serious nature and elegance reigns.                                        Calendar of  TeActivities  Create A Tablescape Worthy of Compliments  -  Sun., March 7, 2010  -  1:00 p.m. - Learn techniques for creative themed tablescapes, napkin folding, invitations, as well as making some creative placecards for your guests at the dining room table, or to use to identify buffet food items.
