So you want to throw the perfect tea party? Look no further than Etsy. You can find just about everything you need right here (well, except for maybe cream and sugar).

You can’t have a tea party without tea, right? Thanks to Pudleduk Family Farms you can find organic herbal teas, including teas specially blended to promote women’s health or to help you fall asleep. There’s even a special aphrodisiac blend for when you’ve got more than sleeping in mind.

Now that you have tea, you’re going to need something to put it in. Check out the Etsy shop A Unicorn in the Garden, aka UK-based husband and wife team Tea With Alice. Alison and Simon Jones take great pride in sourcing vintage china and pottery from their surrounding area and hand selecting individual pieces to form trios composed of a teacup, saucer, and plate.

You can purchase trios individually through their Etsy shop or take it one step further and let them put together a complimentary set of trios for you. These vintage and retro “harlequin” sets are available on their website and are put together lovingly, named and numbered, and packaged with the greatest of care. Each set includes a hand-made card describing every item.

With tea and teacups taken care of, you’re still left with the question of treats. You can always choose to watch your waistline and still indulge your sweet tooth in fantastic and fun baked treats at Pinc.Stuff’s Etsy shop.

There are pendants, key chains and cell phone cords all in the shapes of your favorite cookies, cakes and ice creams. Check out the Pinc.Stuff website for even more, including some very friendly looking pillows!

Now you’ve got just about everything you need for a hand-picked tea party. Just grab that cream and sugar, invite over some friends, and you’ll feel like you’re in a fairy tale in no time!
