Tea in Paris

In a lushly decorated tea room, not far from the River Seine in Paris, a lovely girl of 18 sits having tea with her protective chaperone. It is late afternoon in the Spring of 1902. Watercolour rays of sunlight pour through the beveled glass window panes, coming to rest across the crisp linen tablecloth set with the finest silver and crystal. Her breathtaking tea gown is a gossamer blush silk with black velvet trim. Her auburn hair sits upon her head in a series of decorative knots and tousled curls, crowned by an astonishing hat of pale pink, ruched silk, white roses and black velvet trim. She is young, in Paris for the first time and newly engaged. Life is just beginning and her heart is full. As the years pass, she will write in her diary often of longing to return to savour another quiet afternoon by the Seine, sipping tea in Paris.


Inspired by the romance of old Paris and everything shabby and pink, this collection is lush in texture, slightly shabby and trimmed in exquisite Venetian lace and plush velvet trims. The embellishment pack contains beautiful satin ribbons, a lovely silver teapot pin and a dramatic black glass Fleur de Lys.

What could be more romantic or more French than the combination of pale pink and black? Perfect for a wide range of photographs and layouts, they add romance and whimsy to all your papercraft projects. Crafted at 300dpi in Jpeg and Png, papers are sized at 12x12.

Offered under both personal use and S4O/S4H licensing. You make your licensing selection at time of purchase.
