Proper Tea Gloves

by jennine on August 27, 2008

I have never grown out of tea parties. They are so lovely, with my favorite things, tea, cookies, sandwiches, great conversations… Having a nice afternoon tea is not only luxurious, but I find that they tend to be more real than doing the bar thing, which I’ve never really been good at.

I found these beautiful lot of vintage tea gloves at Dapple Design and instantly knew I had to have them. What I’m going to do with these, I’m not really sure yet… perhaps I’ll have to have a tea party?

quite adorable. I love tea and have some like that but in a solid peachy-pink color. We need to plan a bloggers tea somehow!

London is the obvious choice, of course!

I am *so* drawn to gloves at antique malls & thrift shops, especially the crocheted ones in white.

Gorgeous! They’re so pretty! I have a problem with gloves though – I have tiny hands so its really hard to find ones that fit :( Can I still come to your tea party if I don’t have pretty tea gloves?

miss milki, of course you can come! i’ve always had a problem with my hands being too big… so it was a good catch to find ones mysize.

So pretty! I especially love the polka dotted ones. I’m regrettably REALLY good at doing the bar thing, but I love tea parties too and my favorite thing is being able to wear big fancy hats. I’ll have to try some gloves next time, too!

Me and one of my friends have tea parties occasionally. We don’t get dressed up but we make cupcakes and cucumber sandwiches.
I love the polka dot gloves!

I’ll take my scotch on the rocks – you were talking about scotch weren’t you, because that’s the only tea coloured drink I like?

Do you really need a reason to buy gloves and drink tea! So adorable. My hands are huge, so gloves and I rarely meet. Where is that bow ring from?… love it!

Oooh yes! Do want! I am quite envious indeed! Such lovely gloves, especially the pair with the spots :)

Oh, and I take milk with my earl grey ;)
