Our Tea Party!
February 19th, 2010 | 
Author: When we decided to take a trip to Melbourne, the one thing I *really* wanted to do was have a big meet up where I could catch up with all of my blogging friends and everyone else we knew in Melbourne ^_^
SuperKawaiiMama was completely awesome about the idea and organised a tea party for us at the new Cristina Re flagship store. I had only heard of Cristina Re in the sense that she makes the beautiful scrap-booking supplies and stationary and I had no idea that there was a beautiful little cafe attached!
The cafe was decorated with beautiful butterflies:
We had a great turn out! From left to right below:
Super Kawaii Mama, Me!, AuroraHime, Nicole from Circa Vintage, Esme and the Laneway, Fables in Fashion, Kitty’s Drawings, Petite Valse
Being that we were pretty much all bloggers we had a huuuge amount of photos by the end of the day!
There were two token boys there as well, Kitty’s Drawing’s partner Johnny and James who was being the photographer for the day ^_^
Here he is!
Everyone was dressed so immaculately!
The setting was delightful and oh my god the food… the food!
There was so much food! We had spinach quiche…
Macarons:
Tiny delicious cupcakes:
And the most beautiful hand made chocolates:
James ate about a billion of the delicious sandwiches!
Everywhere you looked there was something else beautifully presented!
It was quite funny, not many of the people who came had actually met in real life before but I don’t think there was an awkward pause the whole time! We bloggers sure can chat!
SuperKawaiiMama and I chatting to our hostess, who was the friendliest person in the entire world!
I so love this photo:
We ended up staying right up until closing time because we were having so much fun 
Some of these photos are by James and some are by SuperKawaiiMama
Esme and the Laneway looking beautiful as usual!
Some of the yummy food:
There were several yummy teas served that day including mint, lemon, chamomile, fruit and others that I’ve forgotten. We had a lot of fun trying to work out which tea was which because they all came in the same tea pots Lucky dip tea!
I was totally jealous of Aurora Hime’s nails, they had little bunnies on them!
SuperKawaiiMama, Aurora Hime and I all had crazy nail art on so we had to take group photos
More food… because I just can’t get enough of it! The service at the cafe was really great, and they just kept bringing more tea as we drank it all.
I wanted to take this chandelier home with me!
We had such a wonderful time that day, it was a really lovely introduction to Melbourne and it was great to finally meet some of the people I’ve been chatting online to for years! I can’t wait to go back!!
Thanks so much to everyone who came <3 <3 <3

Oh, it looks like a GORGEOUS day!! Such lovely pics, and outfits, and cakes and colours… (I can’t believe there was a girl wearing THONGS, though! But I don’t think she was one of your blogging friends)
Oh it was so lovely! LOL at the thongs comment, no she was the hostess that was showing us around
Next time we’ll do a trip to Sydney and tea party with you!
Oh yes,there’s a beautiful high tea place in Darlinghurst that would be great when you come to Sydney, and it would be lovely to hang out
Ooo I LOVE high tea! One of my awesome dreams is one day to ahve a social life that involves high tea every weekend
I would totally love to hang out with you! When we move to Melbourne I bet the flights are super cheap!
PRETTY PICTURESS!
Thank you!
Macarons! Dammit I missed the macarons!
Ah, well probably best I missed it – I’m allergic to having my photo taken and I dress like a bag lady compared to you guys 
Swish!
Mwahahaha macaron love! I bet work wasn’t nearly as fun as this
Haha I demand our token bag lady comes to the next tea party!
You gals would love the wedding invite that came for me today!
And like the macarons!
Yay for cute things!
The tea party looks so beautiful! Everyone is dressed perfectly to fit the cafe
I know right? Everyone looked so beautiful and we had a fantastic time
So pretty! It’s exactly the sort of place Glasgow needs, I totally wish I could be the one to do it!
Maybe in a few years…. fingers crossed!
Oh that would be so cool! You should totally open one in Glasgow… also you should fly me over to have the first cup of tea there ;P
oooh that’s looks like so much fun! The food looks delicious! I want! ^^
Too bad I live so far away
Oh god the food was YUMMY! Even James, who is the fussiest person in the universe thought the food was great!
I love hightea’s!
This party looks like a lot of fun, all people dressed nice and cute cupcake’s. I’m jealous!!
Me too! When I’m rich I’m going to have high tea every day
One of the cutest tea parties I’ve ever seen, Violet! Yaw!
Woo! Yay for tea parties with extra cuteness ^_^

I loved all the nails too
I’ll definitely have a look at your giveaway 
Oh you guys look like you had lots of fun! The Cristina Re store is so adorable. Must keep that on my to do list when I visit Melbourne next time.
It really is an adorable store and the staff were really great, I’m hoping to go there again next time too ^_^
Super cute and glamorous !
oh what fun
and the food looked SOO GOOD 
Oh it was! I ate much too much but it was all so light that I didn’t feel any worse for wear
Ahhh.. this is really making my jealous and so so sad I couldn’t make it… ARGH, darn you family! Oh not my own but the extended ones…
Aww that did suck that you couldn’t make it
I really wanted to catch up but I didn’t pick a good weekend for it with CNY and Valentines >_< Next time though!
Yay the photos are up! Mega late reply on my part cos I’ve been off in Tassie quite distant from most forms of technology hehe.
I had such fun when you were down. I really hope you move to Melbourne!
Haha no worries! I’m so glad that we got to meet up, when we come down again I can definitely tell we’ll see lots of each other
Jimmy and Jonny seemed to get along too haha ^_^ Glad you had fun in Tassie!
