Victorian Tea - click to enlarge photos

 

The Gentlemens' Victorian Tea is served by the men folk of the Village in gracious surroundings, decorated for the holidays.  Visitors enjoy a selection of tasty sandwiches & sweets, along with fresh coffee or tea.  And of course the volunteer staff are always happy to chat and provide information on the Festival to all!  This year the Tea had a new home, at 8778 Highway 215.

A new home for 2009...

Volunteers were busy all weekend...

Decorating Ideas...

 

Nearly every table top featured beautiful holiday touches, from the traditional to the more modern, with the best idea being TEA of course!

 

Multiple mantles and gracious window frames lent themselves to warm and welcoming decor.

 

From the traditional 'teacup tree' to figurines tucked into odd corners, every nook and cranny said 'Christmas is coming'!
