Curiosity Is Always Served with Tea
Victorian Elegance with a Curious Twist
The Through the Looking Glass Collection is inspired by mysterious garden paths, ornate Victorian mirrors, checkerboard floors, antique clocks, curious keys, and beautifully mismatched tea pieces.
Black-and-ivory checks create a dramatic foundation, while deep burgundy florals, dusty lavender, antique silver, candlelight, and subtle sage greenery keep the setting romantic and unmistakably Auntie M.
The experience feels magical without becoming cartoonish. Guests first notice the elegant table, then slowly discover whimsical details hidden throughout the setting.

The Looking Glass Experience
Step into an Afternoon That Is Not Quite Ordinary
Guests arrive to discover a sophisticated Victorian tea table where black-and-white checks meet antique silver, burgundy roses, delicate china, glowing candles, and curious objects collected from another world.
A pocket watch hangs from a floral arrangement. A silver key rests beside an old book. Chess pieces hide among the desserts. An ornate mirror reflects a garden path that seems to lead somewhere unexpected.
The magic is never loud. It reveals itself slowly, rewarding every curious guest who takes a closer look.
