That was a very elegant tea party!
It was – we all enjoyed it!
Love the Georgian tea service and Miss Constance’s pretty Regency gown. I’m sure Mr Darcy would have approved, even if Lady Catherine would have found something to nitpick about.
Constance has never been an ‘obstinate headstrong girl’, but I am sure she would be in the right circumstances!
what a lovely tea party…..all the details! And of course the girls in their oh so appropriate frocks., I too enjoy the Jane Austen novels. What a gifted author she was. Wonderful post!!
tea and Jane Austen = heaven!
