Ah, this is where it all began… a joke that I made on sfgirlbybay about hosting a tea party using gorgeous dishware designed by artist Alyson Fox. Five GIRL CRUSH art workshop + tea parties later, and I’m on my way to Austin {at the airport as we speak} to co-host GIRL CRUSH Austin with Alyson!
Now, it turns out that she is not only an insanely talented artist/designer {see everything above? yep.}, but also an amazing cook … so she’s making our fancy lunch herself! All of the sweet treats for the afternoon tea party are being generously baked and donated by Sugar Mama’s Bake Shop {who just happen to be recent winners on Cupcake Wars!}. Now, if all of that wasn’t fantastic enough, guess who my “helper” is for the day? Kelly from Design Crush is making her way down from Oklahoma City to help me with all of the tiny details that go into making GIRL CRUSH happen. Yep, this is gonna be GOOD.
Alyson’s beautiful home studio. Amazing women sharing their creative struggles & triumphs. Sugar. A truck load of art supplies.
See you on the other side.
I hope you’ll be bringing the party back to seattle soon! Where is that gorgeous necklace from that is pictured above? thanks!
all of the work above was designed by alyson… she’s multi-talented!!! you can find out more about the jewelry on her site :

These plates are so lovely, delicate and sophisticated. I like how all her pieces are cohesive, despite jumping so many genres and mediums. Have a wonderful tea party!
Oh wow! I wish I could be there too. It sounds amazing. Cogs are turning…
Thanks for a great blog!
Cool house, pretty plates & love that chair! Sounds like you’ll have fun, can’t wait to hear how the party goes!
Lovely! Lovely!
Beauty! Thank you!
