The Secret Ingredient

Specializing in Tea Parties, Etiquette, and Workshops for large or small groups.

Greetings... welcome to The Secret Ingredient. I hope you enjoy my site and visit often! My name is Jeanne Hawkins and I am the owner of The Secret Ingredient. I live in beautiful Rockford, Michigan, which is located just north of Grand Rapids. My passions in life are gardening, parties, shopping, social graces and most importantly everything Victorian. The Secret Ingredient is a combination of these passions. I am pleased to be able to offer lots of opportunities for you to learn about the things that I find so fascinating. I have completed "See You at the Top" program with Zig Ziglar. I have been trained from the Protocol School of Tea Etiquette. I am a member of the St. Louis School of Etiquette. Whether you are looking to host a tea party, attend an etiquette class, experience one of my workshops or purchase some of my handmade products, I hope you find everything you are looking for here. Please don't hestitate to contact me with any questions. So make yourself a cup of tea, relax and take a look around...
