You Are Royally Invited To...

A Tea Party!

I hope you are enjoying The History of the World in Six Glasses. Six Glasses really is an eye opening look into how influential food and drink can be for people, culture, history, economy, art, music, literature....anything really! I can tell our meeting will be a fun conversation about all the interesting facts we never knew we were missing out on.


We had a very hard time narrowing down a beverage to feature for our next meeting. The possibilities are endless! Lindy, Doug, and my conversation went like this:

Doug: We could do coffee....

Lindy: Oh yes I love coffee...

Me: But what about cucumber sandwiches and tea!

Doug and Lindy: ooooohhhhh...

Lindy:but COFFEE!!!!


This is the abridged version of course. Nonetheless, the choice was hard and I am sure we will revisit Doug's wonderful suggestion for Turkish coffee. We went with a tea party because we wanted to do something a little bit more swanky. Yes swanky!



We are inviting you to an official upscale tea party. You are invited to dress up and look sophisticated enough to sip tea like the English. One of the many traditions done at tea parties is wearing BIG CRAZY HATS! If you have a big hat in the back of your closest that you wouldn't dare wear in public, then please dust it off and bring it. Or, if you have a elegantly beautiful hat that has no practical place in your everyday life, then please come show it off. I would like to mention this is optional. This is just our idea of switching things up from our regular book club meetings. However, I know that dressing up is not for everyone so the bottom line is come in what is comfortable for you.










Another reason why this meeting is extra special is a surprise awaits you at the beginning of the evening. Also, there is a rumor floating around that there will be some wonderful take home gifts at our tea party. After all, what is a party without party favors.


Doug will be serving tea from a local tea company called Mad Hat. Doug will tell us all about their tea and company, but if you would like to here is their website: http://www.madhattea.com/
