Depending on where you grew up (and how old you are), you'll probably remember your senior family members getting their best china out for special occasions, a matching tea set, with trios, cake plates and tiered cake stands, hand embroidered table cloths and serviettes, the lace doilies– and off course the silverware and loads of flowers. And best of all – all the cakes and other sweet and savory treats!
Nostalgically, I still remember those days, and how as kids we couldn’t wait to join the grown-ups by being on “our best behavior” so we could play at being grown up while gorging ourselves on all the food on display.
Where has that tradition gone? Has it really disappeared? Or has it been reinvented into today’s fast paced lifestyle?
As our pace of life increases, so does the nostalgia of days gone by, and one of the things that is experiencing a revival for the past few years are traditional tea parties from the 40's, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s or even going right back to the victorian era.
Its now highly fashionable to use any excuse to have a vintage tea party to commemorate any of the many events that occurs in your life during the course of an year, or even just as a get together with a couple of friends on a regular basis. Any excuse is now valid.
But how many of us keep traditional vintage china and all the goodies that will enable any of us to recreate such an experience whenever we want? The answer? We don't really, for a variety of reasons.
But there is a solution, and that’s where the Treasure Chest Vintage showroom comes in.
You can now avail yourself of our extensive range of viintage and antique items suitable for a real tea party. There’s no longer a reason why you can’t impress your family, friends or clients with an amazing old-time experience. One that you and they are sure to enjoy and remember for a long time.
Just drop us an email or call us if you would like to discuss this experience in greater detail.
In the meantime we invite you to browse our website to get an idea of what we can offer you.
