Blythe -
Everyone's Cup of Tea
Afternoon Tea
Wednesday, July 23, 2025
3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Join us for a festive tea party - laden with sweet treats and abloom with vintage souvenirs and goodies -- where Blythe can be "everyone's cup of tea" and doll collecting is celebrated among teatime traditions. Our souvenir features a vintage petite Blythe doll dressed in a tiny outfit with shoes and perched in a vintage teacup. Attendees will also receive a companion 'pet' for their wee doll and other lovely, themed extras. Attendees will enjoy a short, cheery, and informative program on the world of Blythe and teatime traditions - exploring how Blythe can be styled in display and play as your cup of tea - from using a petite Blythe as a doll's doll, to creating tiny worlds with the souvenirs of this wee tea and items from your collections. We'll sip tea and embrace the idea of play as a creative outlet and toast Blythe for encouraging us to treasure our collections anew.

Our program will be presented by creative entrepreneur Jen O'Connor, founder of Earth Angels Studios and Wonderland of Play, and by Diane Mall Sammarco of DM Blythe. A limited number of stock Takara and stock Takara custom Blythe dolls will be offered as event centerpieces at special pricing for participants.
