...maybe not, but it sure was fun.
(Croquet?)
Once again I'm in the Young Women (but it's been years and years ago). And once again I pulled out an old favorite activity...the Victorian Tea.
(Croquet?)I wasn't sure how this group of girls would like it. Except for one particular young women, who should have been born in 1890, the rest of the girls didn't seem to have the vison or be overly excited. But dear Leah Claire had costumes for us all, was very concerned about authentic details (she insisted that the event was Edwardian, not Victorian. But an Edwardian Tea just doesn't have the same ring to it.) and she worked so hard to get everyone there.
All the girls came and had a blast...from the past!
Strawberry or Peppermint Tea? Milk!
Charming!
Etiquette in practice.
Working on Grace and poise (and balance).
Refinement?...2010 kept re-surfacing.
Lovely.
Thanks Leah ClaireThanks also to Steph and Jessica (Steph's cousin) who showed up on the door step, surprised to see a Tea party, were whisk way by Leah Claire and put in costume, and became the "Scandalous Relatives".
They added so much fun, washed every piece of china and helped deliver girls home!
Thanks!
