A Return to the Old Curiosity Tea Shop

Last Saturday, I returned to The Old Curiosity Tea Shop to meet again with Judith from Lavender Cottage and Wendy from September Violets over afternoon tea.

The Victorian afternoon tea and service were just as wonderful as my first visit.

The Royal Bengal Tiger Tea was a smooth black tea with a mild taste of cinnamon and fruits that was perfect for the autumn season. I totally wanted to take this gorgeous Aynsley teacup home with me!

Judith and I wore our finest fascinators. The conversation flowed easily like the tea we enjoyed. The three of us are part of a small group of Canadian bloggers who exchange "happy mail" throughout the year. We hope that the other members can join the next group outing.

Thank you, Judith and Wendy, for the laughs and fun times!

This week's pumpkin treat of the week: Pumpkin spiced cold chocolate. So rich and creamy!

Enjoy the last week of October!


I'm joining the following parties this week:

  1. I soooo wish I could join you on your fun tea outings, dear Margie! You all look so beautiful sitting at the pretty tea table. I wish you could've taken home that lovely Aynsley teacup, too, and the tea sounded so perfect for Fall. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

  4. That was such fun! You know if you had "accidentally" broken that beautiful teacup, you could have taken it home transformed into a bracelet!

  5. I think it is wonderful you can have such special kindred spirits to meet and enjoy tea with! And the tearoom is a delight, as well as you three!

  6. What a happy gathering of tea friends! The teacup is a pretty one and the treats looked delicious. You ladies are so fortunate to be able to meet for tea time. I got my pumpkin spice frappuccino on the weekend but I was a bit disappointed. I found it much too sweet. I'll try something else next time I'm in. Have a super week, Margie.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  12. So sweet that you ladies get to meetup...and at such a lovely place! The tea cup is beautiful. I just got to see one of my blogging friends again earlier this week on a road trip. It is always such a treat! Wish I were close enough to crash your next meetup! :D

  18. Love the witch hat fascinator!!! It looks like you've found a great tearoom for visiting blog pals. Pumpkin spiced cold chocolate--I have never heard of that here! Is it like a Wendy's frosty with pumpkin flavor?
