A Royal Tea Party

High Tea or Royal Tea that was the question I asked myself........But what is the difference. I learned that if you also serve Champagne at a tea, it then becomes a Royal Tea...............Hm mm.

Learning much about the etiquette of giving a tea turned out to really quite interesting. I cannot remember just how many books I read on the subject. With a few ideas of my own.......... I sent out my invitations to 20 lady friends with all accepting...Much to my surprise........It was a wonderful party that I will never forget......A very special Thank you to all my friends who came, I have never felt more loved and appreciated.
