Victorian Tea the epitome of good taste

By
Real Estate Agent with The Berkshire Group

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to attend and help at the Daughters of the British Empire's Annual Victorian Tea in Denver. I am in the process of joining this distinguished group....my mother is Australian which qualifies me to become a member. My papers are in order and I have now met the additional requirements to join.

Being a part and helping with the event (even though I am not yet an official member) was a delightful experience. To see the epitome of manners, etiquette and hospitality was so heartwarming and inspiring...to know that we haven't lost these wonderful elements of civility...I am so impressed.

Here are a few photos of the day....

Members of the Daughters of the British Empire work hard in the kitchen to prepare wonderful food for all of the guests.

Everyone had an incredible time. I think we had over 175 participants...we also had a craft sale, bake sale, book sale and raffle so there were activities for everyone. The food was absolutely wonderful...everything from open faced cucumber sandwiches to maids of honor teacakes....yum!
