| A Downton Abbey-inspired Evening |
This week Barb's TEA Shop presented "A Downton Abbey-inspired Evening" at the White Lake Township Library. A testament to the program planning of Reference Librarian Denise Harris-Fiems and the popularity of the Downton Abbey series, the event room was filled despite chilly temps in Southeastern Michigan. Of course, hot tea was the perfect accompaniment and Republic of Tea's herbal English Rose Tea was the popular choice along with tasty scones.

Among topics covered were the manners and attire of the Edwardian period. I'm particularly fond of the fashion of the tea gowns in the era of the Crawley family - very free flowing and no corsets required.
Guest were invited to bring their own tea cup and share its history. Each cup had an incredible story and all were beautiful.

A wonderful evening of tea, scones and Downton Abbey fun. It was a delightful way to spend a frosty night in Michigan.
