30 Before 30 Accomplishment #3: Host a Steeped Tea Party

I'm a heavy-duty tea drinker, and ever since my sister started working in the head office of Steeped Tea, I've dreamt of having a tea party of my own. Steeped is a home party business here in Canada that's all about loose-leaf tea, tea products, and other goodies. When I added "Host a Steeped Tea Party" to my 30 Before 30 list, I was thinking of doing just that. But then, I decided to take it a bit further. . .

And I'm becoming a Steeped Tea consultant myself! I had my "starter party" a couple weeks ago with the help of a more established consultant, and soon enough I'll be helping hosts with their own parties. I'm excited to share my love of tea with the world.

Some of the sample items shown at the party.

Mismatched teacup delight!


Item #14 on my 30 Before 30 list, Host a Steeped Tea Party, is more than complete.

Diversity of artists included: Danzig Legacy (doing a Misfits set here, along with Doyle [Wolfgang Von Frankenstein] *squeals). . .

. . . and The Beach Boys on the main stage, on a warm but not-so-sunny afternoon with beach balls and beach blankets, and definitely dancing.
