I Don't Think the Queen Would Have Approved

I bought tickets for Ally and I to go to the Museum of Flight but when our governor issued more restrictions, the museum closed and I got an email saying our tickets had been canceled and we'd get a refund. 😭 

I asked Sharaya if Ally could come over anyway and we had a tea party instead! I didn't really have time to shop for finger sandwiches and fancy cookies so I used what I had on hand.


Cheerios, M&Ms, mini marshmallows, cheese sticks cut up into cubes... unconventional but so fun!!

We Tried So Hard To Be Prim and Proper!

A couple weeks before Christmas I took Allie to tea for her birthday and we had such a great time! I've gone before with friends but was always just invited, this time I chose the place and made the reservation... 

It was about 30 minutes from our house and if you know me, you know I don't venture far from home very often. Not by myself and when I'm driving! I'm so grateful for Google Maps and Street Scene. I've driven so many places on-line before I ever go there for real!  

We arrived in plenty of time and got to look around the little shop before we were seated. It was a cute little place and we oohed and aahed at all the tea sets.




Our table was decorated so cute. We loved how the napkins were rolled inside the cup to look like roses




After we placed our order we went into the Royal Gown Room which was filled with crowns and hats and boas... Allie tried a few on and found a beautiful tiara to wear while we had lunch.




 I wish I'd captured the look on her face when they brought out our lunch on the tiered trays. Her mouth dropped open, she was so surprised! It was priceless!


When I bit into my scone I expected it to be cool and a little bit hard but it was warm and so soft! My eyes got big, I looked at her and covered my mouth with my napkin so I could tell her how good it was when all of the sudden the background music began to play The Hallelujah Chorus! Oh my gosh we both laughed so hard!!


Have you ever had Tea in a Tea Room?
