Celebrating the Royal Wedding

-
Like most of the world today... we woke up early this morning to 'attend' the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton!  What a fun time we had celebrating this morning, even the boys got up early to watch this historic event!!

Lady Donna crafted this chocolate/biscuit cake which is Prince William's favorite! It is very good... and very rich!! Planning on doing some more celebrating later today and will enjoy a piece of it along with our Royal Tea Blend!!  Guests attending tomorrow's Afterglow Tea party will get a sample of this unique cake!

    It was a beautiful wedding! I actually stayed awake through it all --- from 1:00 am until 4:30 am --- then happily went back to sleep. It was fun checking on to Facebook and seeing other friends online while watching the wedding --- like a big party.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis. They hold many found memories of teatime with my mom! May you have a blessed Christmas!! Other's Who Are Participating in Teacup Thursday! The Hope Chest Rose Chintz Cottage Antiques and Teacups
