Special Tea
Gleam in Tatty’s eye
A gaggle of Hittys accompanied their humans to tea at the Empress. They complied (some of them reluctantly) with the dress code, and they ogled (all of them enthusiastically) the lemon cheesecake, chocolate teacup truffle, pomegranate coconut ball and cinnamon shortbread…
The torsos are just as happy
Who knows when the next opportunity for such an elegant occasion will arise? The two unfinished girls came along, and happily observed proper decorum as far as they were able in borrowed chemise and raincoat. Little incipient sister Carline had eyes pencilled in right at the table so that even she could view the delectable delights!
Cherry on top
Tatty thought her incipient cherry sister ought to be the first one to try the lemon cheesecake decorated with a Hitty-sized cherry. Tatty’s hands were coated in delicious substances while she offered treats to her little companion.
We’ve very much enjoyed this fleeting visit from our friends, Hitty fun is more so when it is shared!

Quimper Hittys 
You are absolutely right, Fun IS so much MORE when it is shared, and what a wonderful place to share company and friendship. Looks like they all had a super wonderful time.
They did and we did – Tea at the empress is an Event!
Although there are no Hitty friends nearby for our household, it is always a pleasure to enjoy seeing and sharing what the Quimper Hittys are up to.
It feels almost like a Hitty conversation to us when our friends comment here on the blog! But we love it when Hitty friends appear here in Victoria! We’ve been lucky this year to have two Hitty visitations, and the Quimper Hittys have been out and about visiting two Hitty friends in their houses.
It is certain that more fun was had at this table than all the other tables combined. What a treat!
That’s probably true – there were many tables full of tea-drinkers, but none of the others had little wooden people diving into whipped cream, divvying up desserts, wrestling with pots of jam and playing with the sugar tongs!
I’ll bet you guys had trouble getting them to settle down afterwards. What a fun and very special occasion!
I think there were a few small wooden individuals put to bed with Chamomile tisane, and hot water bottles afterwards (possibly some of the humans as well)
I am sure that you were the envy of all the other tea takers that afternoon. Your new dolls are utterly adorable!
Tatty and the new incipient cherry sister thank you! The other little unfinished girl is tc’s incipient rowan Hitty.
It was Heavenly! *burp*
The Quimper Hittys are still dreaming of it!
Such fond memories… Tea with friends is good anywhere you have it.
Especially Empress blend tea! We did enjoy ourselves thoroughly!
I am extremely amused at the Adventures of Torso.
Cherry torso and Rowan torso did their best to have fun as well, despite lack of arms and legs.
tea at the Empress is always a special event, looks like a delightful time was enjoyed by all. wonderful place to introduce the two “new” girls to Victoria traditions. they are charming.
Even the unfinished girls had fun – some of the Hittys shared their clothes, and luckily we had a pencil and could make the fun visible for the incipient cherry girl!
oh such fun. How nice that even here in the rural hinterlands remote from any and all HItty friends (or fancy tea emporiums) I can enjoy such things with the Quimper Hittys and their marvelous human. Great pics.
We love sharing their adventures, and it is very nice to hear back from people who like reading about them!
Just wonderful – tea with all the scrumptious snacks. Quimper hittys sure do have some good times together – thanks for sharing.
You are welcome – we are very fond of tea, and Afternoon Tea at the Empress is the most elegant, it would have been a shame not to include the Hittys!
