PLANNING LADIES' TEA PARTY FROM VINTAGE COOKBOOKS #tea #teaparty #vintage #homemade #familyvlog

In the first of our Thoroughly Modern Vintage Pixie series the Pixies have discovered that I have been hiding a stash of vintage home economics and cookbooks right in plain sight, which they uncovered during our autumn cleaning and decorating event.
When we sat down and began to look through them, we were intrigued by the detailed teaching on almost every subject, home, personal and food related.
Very little subject matter was left to guess work!
Also, intriguing was the number of questionable culinary decisions that were splashed proudly across the many pages, such as the prolific use of celery …even as a main dish!
The Pixies are not fans of celery and this flagrant violation of all that was reasonable and good in the food world was simply unfathomable to them.
And then there was the topic of Aspic…. food encased in a clear gelatin and served with abandon in the US for generations. The Pixies were not amused…their poor ancestors had obviously lost their minds when it came to culinary creations!
These troubling subjects aside, we all agreed it would be fun to go through the vintage books, learning from them and attempting to recreate some of the contents with a modern pixilated twist and within reason.
The first and only thing on the Golden Pixies list of things to do, was a ladies luncheon/tea party, which was likewise embraced by everyone else and so we set about planning an intimate Autumn Vintage-Inspired Ladies Tea Party….
Today’s video is the planning of the Pixies Vintage Tea Party and the cooking and hosting of the tea party itself is in part two of this video.
We hope you enjoy this video and that you will consider joining us for the follow up Thoroughly Modern Vintage Pixie: Ladies Tea Party …Perhaps, with your own cup of tea and a biscuit or scone of your own.
Thank you for watching and please consider liking the video, commenting and subscribing to our channel as it all helps us to continue to grow!
