““I am so thankful a contact referred me to Polly when I mentioned a vision for hostessing a bridal shower this summer. I was hoping to find mere costumes for ladies to dress up for our intended tea party. Wow! I found so much more than this when I called Polly and discovered that she not only was an amazing milliner, but offered a presentation which would be lovely entertainment for our guests. She and Melissa added so much lady-like charm to our company, gracing us with their beautiful service while entertaining us with an etiquette-history of tea. All were enchanted. We enjoyed a tea-history quiz to boot, adding a measure of fun. Her hats are STUNNING. Our event will not be forgotten. Ever. Thank you, Polly.”
