Dear Mothers,
I’d like to share this sweet comment from one of our customers about last Spring’s Girlhood Issue – Clothing Yourself in Beauty.
You never know what’s hidden in your daughter’s hearts. I love how tea etiquette was met with giggles of delight. The Girlhood Home Companion and Tea Cozy Club are a delight to mothers and daughters and a precious resource for teaching good manners.
“Hi Jill.
I really enjoyed speaking with you on the phone. It is nice to now have a “voice” to go along with the articles we enjoy in your magazine. Thank you, and your family, again for publishing such a quality publication. My daughter, Ella turned eight last March and we celebrated by having a tea party for her and 6 of her friends. We got our idea from reading Girlhood Home Companion, which we enjoy reading together during some of our special mother/daughter time. We set the table with beautiful cups, flowers, scones, grapes, and strawberries. When her friends came they all took their seats and while they enjoyed their tea I read about tea etiquette from the magazine. The girls enjoyed trying the correct and incorrect ways of holding their tea cups… with lots of giggles. I then read the storybook The Princess and the Kiss, it helped to keep those giggles under control a bit so they could enjoy their tea. After they finished their tea and had cake, we made Tussie Mussies using instructions from Girlhood Home Companion. They all did very well with just a little help from the adults. After their tussie mussies were ready, we made tissue paper flowers to fill them. The girls left with a beautiful craft to take home with them and we had a blessed time celebrating girlhood at my daughters birthday. Thank you for the wonderful ideas and encouragement.”
