If Teacups Could Talk.....A Very Social Literary Tea

If Teacups Could Talk…

Join us for a very social literary tea fundraiser with a taste of tea’s social history!

For hundreds of years, societies have cherished the culture of drinking tea with companions. An invitation to tea, is another way of saying “Come let’s share a little bit of our lives together.” ~ Emilie Barnes

And while formal afternoon tea may have reached a zenith during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Desert Foothills Library, with Cave Creek’s English Rose Tea Room, are pleased to offer this treasured tradition replete with a gracious table setting and delicious tea and finger food selections.

Guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion, hat included, and experience the special connection of tea and friendship while also enjoying an overview on the Social History of Tea presented by the English Rose Tea Room’s proprietress, Jo Gemmell.

Registration required.  Register at www.dfla.org or call the Library at 480-488-2286.

Cost: $50/person including tea and finger foods.  There will be a prize for the best hat, donated by the English Rose Tea Room.
