Royal Wedding Tea Party

I planned on a quiet early morning viewing of the Royal Wedding with a tray of English style scones, Double Devon Cream, jam, Eccles cakes and a pot of Yorkshire Gold English style tea. That was not in the cards as Kate Larsen from Channel 10 contacted me on Tuesday about a Royal Wedding Watch Party. The plan was to gather together my Ladies Traveling Tea Society to watch the wedding and comment on it. I had two days to gather the ladies together and prepare my outfit for my first TV appearance.

It took me most of a day to find the navy blue dress and a matching hat. Even though Navy blue hats are hard to find in Sacramento I was determined to wear a blue dress in tribute to Kate Middleton. I had blue shoes, bag and jewelry to wear so I just needed the dress and hat and I would be set.

I can't believe that I actually pulled this off as it was last minute! The station changed the arrival time twice so I ended up being early to the Tea Anytime Tea Room. Two ladies who were coming by before work had to leave before the station showed up.

We had a great time speaking to each other in a British accent and listening to Margaret's experience with the Queen. She gave us lessons on how to curtsy which was one of the clips used on News 10 morning show.

I invited my Mom to the party. I did not tell her that I wanted to find a blue dress. I was surprised that she chose a blue dress with a fitted empire style and looked quite smashing in it. With no discussion of what we were wearing we chose the same color!

Thank you to my friends for coming at the last minute and indulging me with this last minute call to celebrate the Royal Wedding! It was great fun!
