I gave a harvest tea. It’s a great way to bring in the fall season. Hot tea and apple treats to warm your friends. Also gave a Black Widow Spider Tea to dress in Victorian Mourning Outfit for Halloween.
It was a lot of fun!

Carrie- didn’t they have beautiful combinations of colors then?
Miss Sandy- I laughed to hear you call it a routine, I suppose it is a certainly doesn’t feel that way.
Grace- I think so! I wonder though, how happy we would have been without some of the comforts of today?

I love the Victorian era as well. I love the period costumes and the fact that you had “help” getting you all dressed, tying your corset, and all the la dee da of the occasion. I also love the idea of “high tea”. Tea and crumpets.
But I think my favorite is just donning my favorite new outfit and meeting the girls for tea and coffee when we can grab a few minutes out of our busy “mommy lives”.
