I was thrilled to find the Jolly Vintage Tea Party online and to be able to use them for the Celebration Afternoon Tea for my mum . The beautiful china was a talking point of the afternoon and added a charm and graciousness my mother would have loved. Thanks for making it all so easy with the drop off and collection too.

I hired a selection of vintage china for a diamond wedding tea party. Lorraine was good with her communication and the china display looked great when people arrived.
