We hope everyone had as much fun attending our Downton Abbey Tea as we had planning and preparing for it! We never can pass up an opportunity to celebrate - and eat! Thank you to everyone who join us at the tea!
Our tea table decked out in vintage décor - don't you just love the hanging antique lamp shades and crystals? Our tea faire included cucumber tea sandwiches, chicken salad tea sandwiches, chicken puffs, lemon poppy seed & chocolate chip scones with Devonshire cream, lemon curd & strawberry jam, raspberry almond shortbread cookies, vintage hanky sugar cookies, and English toffee & chocolates. Oh, and of course, Lady Gray tea and English breakfast tea.
Our tables were dressed in vintage shabby chic with an array of china tea cups, saucers and plates, and vintage hankies for napkins.

Many dressed for the occasion in their 1920s finery.
Hats, pearls, gloves and handbags were the fashion of the day.
More tea fashions.
The ladies enjoying an afternoon of conversation with quilting friends.
And the best thing, everyone went home with some Downton Abbey swag!
