A Tart is Born

On November the 14th 2009, the very first Tart took place at the divinely decadent 40 Winks. I think we all knew it was going to be the start of something special...



These shots were taken by the lovely Mela, and really captured the wonderful atmosphere of the afternoon. We had cakes and service from the always incredible Vintage Patisserie, some with our logo, and some with the names of our Hen party's bride-to-be and her beloved! Our guests arrived, and headed down into the kitchen for cupcakes, sandwiches and delicious drinks - Hendrick's gin and elderflower, and bubbly, naturally. All were served in vintage teacups from Naomi's collection! The ground floor held Naomi's exclusive selection of vintage, some incredible hats and vintage and handmade jewellery from Glamour Kitten. I spent a happy few minutes chatting all things rhinestony and bakelite down there! Upstairs on the first floor was Taj Noel Cambridge's Bunnies Forever lingerie and the beauty room! Bella and Sarah were doing super glamorous makeup, and the Lipstick and Curls girls were whipping up some marvellous vintage hairdos. However, there were so many ladies waiting at one point that I came on board to help. It was a fab way to meet the guests actually!



The guests all looked absolutely fantastic and certainly had no shortage of things to do during their four hours with us. The top floor had stands from shoe designer to the stars Nina Dolcetti. As if all that wasn't enough, each girl left with a goodie bag, stuffed with freebies, from vouchers to Rose & Co. lipbalms, organic body lotions and more.

All in all, it was a thoroughly successful first event, and the start of many wonderful things to come!
