I have been really busy pre-quarantine with my boutique, spiffing it up and adding inventory! Right before the epidemic came to Texas and we had the lock-down, I had changed the whole look of the shop but never got to take good pictures! Hopefully I will be able to share the new theme in few weeks! This routine had kept me busy and I missed not planning a shoot in a really long time! I did a mini tea-for-two session when my friend visited me in July but before that, my last one before that was Mother’s Day in May 2018! Although I love to style variety of tablescapes but my favorite ones are themed around my favorite drink ~ tea!
So while I had the craving to do a shoot and some time on my hand – I combined the social distancing, pieces from my inventory, some hand-crafting fun and styled this completely mock shoot. My first one that I did not collaborate with other vendors, bakeries and florists! Sans the sandwiches that I made at home, everything else like the cake slices, pastries and savory items are faux. So are the flowers which I usually get from Etsy. The cakes on the top of trolley, I made them myself using containers and fabric I had lying in my stash along with some embellishments that I collect occasionally. I loved doing it although boys were disappointed the desserts were not real š
Hope you enjoy the pictures and it can inspire you for an intimate, quarantine-appropriate Mother’s Day tea!
