Jane Austen Tea Party

 

 

For our book club I hosted a Jane Austen tea party night. I completely forgot about taking fun pictures, so these are the only pictures I have of the evening. It was good fun and we enjoyed discussing Jane Austen's books and the historical traditions surrounding British tea time. My friend Ashely came dressed in a Regency gown, with her hair in period curls, and shared some of her neat knowledge regarding Jane Austen's life. She also cooked a bunch of yummy tea treats using the recipes from the Austen family cook's book. It was SO delicious! We had a variety of scones, muffins, clotted cream, fruits, cakes, cookies, and candies. YUM! It was so fun to have a girls' night with good friends.
