Afternoon tea at The Townsend Hotel is always a special event!

Barb's Tea Service talks afternoon tea etiquette at The Townsend Hotel this month.

Last Tuesday, The Townsend Hotel in Birmingham,  along with Barb's Tea Service, welcomed L'Anse Creuse Community Education Trips and Tours for afternoon tea. A special event for a very special group!

Also in attendance, special guest, Rachelle Willnus, of Derby Hats by Rachelle, who brought in a beautiful sample of fascinators for display and sale (!). 

Rachelle W. brought a beautiful variety of fascinators for sale.

The tea fare, which included an orange cranberry scone and pumpkin praline tart, was as beautiful as it was tasty.  Herbal and Earl Grey teas rounded out the menu and the service was, as always, excellent.
