About this project

Several years ago, I rented a storage space and using my collection of vintage teacups and plates, I decided to follow my dream of starting a rental business like none other: renting vintage china and glassware for parties and events (breathing new life into fabulously old pieces).

I've been doing this part time, more of as a hobby, until recently when I took a big step by leasing a real commercial space!! The response from the community has been fabulous - everyone is thrilled that I am here, but in addition to renting china, people want to be able to come into the shoppe and sample tea, and they also want to be able to buy all of the trimmings for a proper afternoon tea (tea, honey, decorated sugar cubes etc).

I want to start hosting free tea tastings at the shoppe and get a retail section up and running. I need a sign out front, too, to tell people I'm here and what I do! Your support will help me accomplish all of these things. Just think of how many people you'll be making happy!

For your support, I am tickled pink to offer you what I think are some unique and fun rewards!

Many thanks,
Sarah
