Review || The Vintage Tea Party Book

I just so happened upon this book as I was skimming through an adorable (and incredibly vintage!) kitchen shop with my mom a week or two ago. As I was browsing the tea kettles and smelling the loose teas they were selling, my eye caught the title and I immediately picked it up and began to examine it. I was so impressed with the book (and let's face it, the drawings and details on the cover will make anyone swoon!) that we decided to purchase it and add it to our collection of vintage books, and I am so glad we did! It's has the perfect amount of recipes for brunches, afternoon meals, and dinners, plus it is packed to the seams with tutorials (like how to make a Union Jack flag on your own, or how to style your hair with pin curls)! The Vintage Tea Party Book is such a treat.

I think the thing I like most about this book is the rich history Angel Adoree talks about in the beginning of the book. She includes photographs of her parents, her life story, and snippets of how she became a vintage-lover. Her photos are beautiful, her recipes are delicious (I've made the rose petals sandwiches and I am dying to try coddled eggs!), her words flow like cream into a tea cup, and her tutorials are classic. Near the back of the book, she even includes mens grooming tips and a how-to on classic make-up. I am serious when I say she has it all! If you haven't checked out The Vintage Tea Party Book, I encourage you to do it! You can even download invitations she has created to get a taste of what this book has to offer on Angel's website.

Overall, I give this book 5 stars! This was exactly what I needed to pick up to encourage the vintage-lover in me and I cannot wait to put into practice all that I have learned how to do from her! I also found out quite recently that she has two more books alongside this one titled The Vintage Sweets Book and The Vintage Tea Party Year. I might have to invest in them before too long.

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement as I complete my last few weeks of high school. I will be trying my best to create new content and posts, but like I stated in my post Review: Cinderella (2015), my posts might be few and far between until after May 15th. Thank you for understanding!

Much love,

Samantha
