More photos from the Violets and Vintage Tea party of table settings, flowers and tea sandwiches.

The sandwiches were made by Didi and included seafood salad, chicken salad and egg salad, and she added all the pretty flowers for our table setting and throughout her home. It really was a spring  garden both inside and outside!

I also used cupcake liners, icing flowers, edible glitter, tips and bags from Bakers Bling Shop and Cupcake Social:

In these photos, our guests were selecting their mug rugs and potholders. Even though we used Judy Whitney's mug rugs and potholders at our table settings, we wanted guests to select the ones they wanted most.

The first pic is a view of a table setting...

Decisions, decisions...as our guests selected their favorite mug rugs and potholders
