About Me

I enjoy the art of taking tea, having Victorian tea and garden parties. I have a large collection of tea cups and tea pot. Followed my dream by opening a tea salon to entertain my friends and family. I also enjoy teaching young girls tea etiquette and manners. I have a love for all things Victorian. I am a living history reenactor with a passion for history and the way people lived in the past. I am doing much research on the positive roles that African American's played in history and how it will help in modern day times.
I love the Art of Taking tea. I find it to be a long lost art.
I would love to go back in time and enjoy it the traditional way. Each afternoon, when I have the chance to sit back and relax, I enjoy a pot of good brewed tea. I sit and savor the moment and the delights of the tea with a good book or soft music.
Come and join me, sit a spell, get comfortable and let's be tea friends!

Wednesday Preperations for the tea.



Today, I spent hours in the tea salon preparing for "The Month of Love Tea."  I want to use the Valentine's theme, but more towards romance and love. So I decided on Cherubs rather then red hearts. I found this lovely glass top table at a flea market for $20.00. It makes for an excellent centerpiece.

        On the base of the small table is two little Cherubs playing.

    I will use to top of the table for a grand display of fruit and chocolates pastries.

I also found this great plate with little cherubs floating on the clouds. It is perfect to add to the theme.
  
                     After doing some research on this little plate, found it to be quite a collector's item.
I think the table is going to be perfect. I will start the shopping for the menu tomorrow.
the tea is not until Sunday. I have two good days to finalize everything.

  1. You were very clever to look at that table and envision so much potential. I think you had the right idea to leave out red and this gives your table a much LONGER LIFE SPAN. It looks wonderful and I wish you great success!

Lady's health tip:
A smile is good for your face
January is our time to make good on all those brave New Year’s resolutions that we made at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Day! Many of us have started dieting, but as much as we may want to avoid it, good dieting needs to be balanced by proper physical exercise. To properly sustain our body and mind (remember the expression “sound body, sound mind?”) we need to engage in some form of regular physical activity. (A word of caution: always consult your physician before commencing any exercise regimen.)
