{the bliss + the palate} hana emi tea house

Another successful tea party?  Check!

Like I mentioned in a previous post, me and Janelle were planning to throw our 3rd semi-annual tea party.  But this time, we required something other than costumes and food..  each guest had to bring supplies/food to donate to Japan.  It was only fitting, no?  And Janelle came up with “Hana Emi” — it means a flower in bloom.

After weeks of ideas and planning, we finally started prepping the night before the party.  Down to the set-up schedule, the baking/cooking of the food, and the MIA Annual Easter Basket Exchange (see last year’s exchange here).  I think me and Janelle feel a bit more confident with each tea party we throw so we were absolutely ready (with the help of Michelle) way before guests started to arrive.   And we’re already thinking about our next one!
