If you want and have the funds, you could always put together a Thank You goodie bag with candy and a note.

I feel like we've lost this answer since egl died. Maybe there's no wrong or right way to approach this since it seems like individuals have their own preferences and ideas. I imagine a lifestyle gothic lolita would place more emphasis on the macabre, the classic lolita practicing Victorian ideals, and the sweet lolita adding kawaii in everything they do.

Those examples are a good start though. Maybe it can be a collection of things because even if they are different, they still carry on ideals of an Old world view or an alternative worldview rather.

Man, it sucks that I do miss the idea of a life style lolita because I've always felt that even if lolita is essentially a fashion, it backs up a reasoning for wearing it and feels more like a sub-culture - kind of like how punk started out as an anarchistic movement that was later expressed through music and fashion.

I'll still be a fan of the idea(s), but I don't think my sailor lolita swearing and trip-hop listening ways are fitting of the lifestyle.

I'll do what I can to help out. Maybe have a weekly or bi-monthly antique shop post (posting cool finds) or something (I guess some of my hobbies are lolita friendly after all).

I'm thinking about collecting a mismatched set and using them at a future meet for a picnic. Unless it's too impractical, I wonder if there are any ways to carry and store tea ware if the set is not matched.

I wanted to mention that there is a blogspot dedicated to replicating Panera recipes (it has a bunch of old recipes). I'd share, but 4chan thinks its spam. I thought it'd be something to share for people wanting to do picnics, potlucks, or in-home tea parties since there are a lot of sandwich, salads, and pastry recipes to try.

btw, has anyone actually made one of these? They're cute, but they seem a little impractical. Maybe not too bad for jewelry stands though. idk how often people host in-home tea meets.

/mu/'s currently having a classical music thread.

piano versions of Joe Hisaishi's works are a bit weeby, but a personal favorite.

btw, have you checked with local antique/thrift shops for tea sets? And what kind of teas and snacks will you plan on serving?

Going back to the topic of books, do you or does anyone have any good recommendations for tea etiquette books or recipe books for tea parties? It seems like a lot of the latter are geared toward kids and that's not quite what I want to look for.
