Be our guest at tea time! The FHU Associates invites all ladies to our eighth annual Victorian Tea Party on Saturday, May 1, 2010 from 1:00-4:00pm, once again to be held at the lovely Hardeman House. This has become a premier event for the ladies of Henderson and the surrounding areas, and it continues to grow from year to year, as ladies of all ages keep bringing new friends to share the experience with. Leisurely taking tea at a pretty table laden with delightful finger foods is a wonderfully special way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Not only is there the tea party itself, but there are numerous venues ranging from making paper dolls for the little ladies - to interesting lessons on the preparation of hot tea - or needlework projects, such as this year's candlewicking, for the grown-up ladies. A much-frequented area is the Tea Boutique, whose offerings will allow one to recreate their own tea parties at home. Wonderful memories are made at this event; for a tangible remembrance, there will be family, group, or individual portraits taken by Jud Davis, which can be purchased for a nominal fee.

I really miss going to this! We went EVERY year before we moved to China. I cried the last time, because I knew that I would not be able to go the next year! The girls still miss it too. I am not going to remind them what time of the year it is. I guess there is no chance that you could change the date to July?
ReplyDeleteSad! Yes, Bethany wanted us to change the tea party to July also. =) Wouldn't that be lovely weather for an outside tea party?? Wish you guys could be here!
ReplyDeleteHaha! See, I'm not the only one voting for a later date! Well even though I sooo wish I could be there this year, I know it's still going to be fabulous, as usual:-) In fact, I drooled all over myself just reading the menu! I'm expecting a recap and many pictures next week. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, I missed it!! I love this event. I know it had to be wonderful.
