I have a wonderful friend, Shelley, who loves high tea as much as I do. She found a Christmas tea put on by one of the local plantation houses and we decided to go. The house was all decked out for Christmas and the whole ambience was perfect.
It was fun to get all dressed up and to go to tea with a gaggle of ladies (most who were over 50...we were definitely the youngest people there). The ladies who put it on were a little baffled we wanted herbal tea.
Cutest Christmas mouse on our dessert plates.
After dinner we got a tour of the plantation house. It was defintely grand and beautiful.
This is where Teddy Roosevelt's mother was married. She lived in this house and so did President Roosevelt when he was young.
The was the kitchen in the basement of the house.
I don't get to do many "girlie" things. I completely loved this experience.
