How To Plan A Tea Party On A Budget and Flash Sale


Summer fun flash sale event with our 2 Etsy shop seller's, MarketsofSunshine and Icky Chic Designs this Wednesday, May 31, 2017 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST. Be sure to mark your calendar.  Click the shop section marked: Flash Sale

School is finally out for the Summer in most cities around the USA.  What will you do to celebrate your child's achievements?  Why not plan a fun tea party. Even if you are on a tight budget you can pull if off with these easy tips.

  1. Buy handmade invitations so that you can concentrate on the more important part of the event, your guests and the food you'll serve.
  2. Shop the kid's section of the stores for sale days
  3. Pick a theme that you can do with things around your house or from the dollar store
  4. Make your own food.  Don't have it catered. Ask friends to bring a dish. Check out these vegan recipes, bread recipe, potato soup
  5. DIY party favors like these sticky note pouches and mini tip envelopes kit.  This will save you tons of money.  Pick up supplies from the dollar store or sales section of the stores.

Etsy Flash Sale: Blink And You Lose 6th Shopping Event

Etsy flash sale: Blink and You Lose 6th Shopping Event.  It doesn't get any better than this.

Imagine becoming the greatest Mom in the world, and your child becomes the happiest, most helpful kid who ever existed....Introducing the Child Reward System Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie has been transformed into a hollow book safe with a hidden compartment in the middle of the book where the pages have been cut out. The first few pages have been left for added surprise and fun when they open their gift.
Now you can reward your child with a gift card to their favorite store or theme park inside the secret compartment and only give it to them as a reward for a job well done so that you can save your sanity and teach your child that doing their best is rewarded.
Plus, you'll get a free character tote bag kit with any $30 purchase from our shop with easy 'how to' instructions. Takes only 10 minutes to make.

Why Join a Gift Sampler Club

Do you miss getting gifts in the mail?  When was the last time you sent a gift in the mail?  Here are some good reasons why you should think of joining a gift sampler club.

1.  You'll save time and money running all over town searching for that last minute gift you need because you forgot to check your calendar. 
Keep gifts on hand and your gift closet full of luxury handmade gifts from Markets of Sunshine "gift sampler club"







2.  Start a gift closet by supporting small business handmade and vintage seller's on Etsy.
Personalized gifts are the #1 favorite to receive because it says:
I think you're special!  You'll find a wide variety of gifts that you can have personalized or monogrammed at:
My Secret Compartments hollow book shop. 





3.  Vintage is the new way to decorate because you are reducing your carbon footprint.
 Think of afternoon tea with family and friends using vintage tea cups and saucers, china and pitchers.  Check out this lovely Etsy shop filled with treasures from around the world.





One thing is for sure you'll find all kinds of companies offering gifts by mail.  But, they are mostly big box companies who have everything made in China.  Why not support made in the USA shops instead.

What types of gifts do you need right now?  What types of gifts do you like to receive?
