Photos BEFORE we left for tea:

Arrival and shopping before the tea bell rings!

The bell rings and we are the 2nd set to be seated...it was so exciting to see the excitement in my baby's eyes as she is the first to see our room! We get seated in the Nook! We had hoped for that! And, we got the Stratfield Saye. The Stratfield Saye was the home estate of Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington, British soldier & statesman and an important military and political figure of the nineteenth century.

There was no way to wipe the smile off

my baby girl's face or off of Gram Mijo's!

It was their FIRST time at

the St. James Tearoom!

Savories, Breads & Sweets arrive and

you still can't REMOVE her smile!

Gentility and Excellence: The titles on her tea set.

 

Gentility: The quality of being well-mannered; refinement

Excellence: 1.The quality of being outstanding or extremely good.

 

Very appropriate tea set for my very well mannered little lady,
I might add!

 

 

 

After she toured the entire tearoom, it was pretty clear

that not only did she love our room, but she really liked the Newstead Abby

and took time to sample the couches, chair

and take pictures!

 

 

My stunning little beauty!

 

 

I'm not quite sure who enjoyed the warm

lavender scented hand towels the most???

(it was hard to tell...just look at the picture)

Thank you Auntie for the early Christmas gift. What a memorable blessing for each of us! To see the excitement in mom's and our sweet baby girl's faces were priceless! The smiles, priceless. The love, priceless.  A sweet time for the girls that will always stay in our hearts forever. We love you!
