This weekend, I presented BTS' Austentacious Tea Talk to the Eastern Michigan chapter of JASNA, aka the "honors class" - and it was an honor to be there.

At the invitation of Chris H., President of JASNA, Eastern Michigan Region and referral from Kathleen S. (who had attended our BTS Jane Austen talk at Birmingham's NEXT), we were excited to be among fellow Austen-enthusiasts during not only the year of the celebrated author's 250th birthday, but also on the day of Masterpiece's premier of "Miss Austen". (See our recent "re-review" on Substack of the book, "Miss Austen" which the television series is based Barbara’s Substack | Barbara Gulley | Substack).
After our talk, tea was served (Twinings - oh, so appropriate!) with a delicious variety of scones, sweets and savories. It was delightful to share a lovely repast with some of the guests.

In addition, we presented two packages of Barb's Tea Service's Double Ginger tea to the two guests who had May birthdays. We also awarded chocolate tea biscuits to the winners of two of our Jane Austen trivia questions (well done, Emma and her dad!).
Aside from a bit of precipitation on our arrival and departure, it was a most agreeable afternoon with an awesome Austen gathering. Thank you to JASNA of Eastern Michigan for the invitation to join you this past weekend!
