Here are some pictures from our Princess Diana Tea!

Teatime treats fit for a Queen!

These sweet little toothpick pictures of Princess Diana were made by our friend Char Massey!
Thank you Char! They look darling on the Triffle!

Teatime Friends who drove all the way from Chicago!

We had a special guest on Sunday, Ronda Kelley. She has actually met Princess Diana - not only once but twice! She delighted everyone with her magical tales of meeting the princess! Thank you, Ronda!!

    Sounds like a wonderful, wonderful tea time, Miss Spenser! So many smiles and delicious treats. We were hoping to attend with my aunt who loves many things English, but she was out of town for around two months, so it didn't work this time. Perhaps this tea will be happening in a few years. :)

    Blessings!

    It looks like a fabulous tea. Most American ladies were big fans of the Princess. I met Diana's brother, the Earl of Spencer, when we visited Althrop.

    Your tea definitely looks perfect for a princess or a queen. How beautiful to honor a special lady.
