The Secret Ingredient

Rockford, Michigan 49341

Jeanne Hawkins, the owner of The Secret Ingredient, is a very special woman.
Her passions are gardening, parties, shopping, social graces and everything Victorian.
The uniqueness of her business is that she will plan a tea party for you in her lovely home or yours.
Because of her training she gives classes in Tea Etiquette, manners (even to children), and all things Victorian.
A class I found especially interesting was the lavender class - you learn to make linen spray, bath salts and sachet.
Quick, move to Michigan to be nearby.
