Why Tea Parties?

When Jamal’s daughter Sophia was in preschool she won a beautiful tea party basket at an auction. They spent hours together thereafter entertaining themselves and friends. “As we set the table with our tea pots and cups, filled plates with a few yummy treats, and wore fancy hats and jewelry, we became other people and had delightful conversations! Any time Sophia was overwhelmed, sad, bored or in the mood...we had ourselves a tea party. We used this time to have fun, and connect with each other.” she says.

The Shared Dream

Jamal and Sophia have hosted Girl Scout Tea Parties, Birthday Tea Parties, and Mother’s Day Tea Parties; when it came time to choosing a 50th birthday party theme- you guessed it, they hosted a Tea Party!

The mother-daughter pair has long fantasized about a tea party business… a beautiful store front, elegant china, delectable treats, beautiful crafts and lots of lots of fun together.

As Jamal turned 50, she realized they could make this dream a reality. She challenged herself to start a small business all on her own, including incorporation filings, setting up an accounting system, web site design, logo and marketing material creation, site visits, buying merchandise and so much more.

Background

Formerly a marketing professional, Jamal organized events for the hundreds and even thousands. She explains “I had a huge budget to spend on those events! I miss those days! Since my second child was born and I exited the workplace for a while, I started volunteering.

As a Girl Scout, PTA and school volunteer, I learned to do more with less money and enjoy the challenge of putting together events that were memorable and fun but didn't cost a fortune.”
