You Are Cordially Invited to...

a Tea honoring her Majesty Queen Victoria.

In celebration of her birthday on May 24th I invite those who wish to participate to polish the silver and iron the best linens

as this will be a celebration fit for a queen!

The tea party will take place in blogland at the Victorian Parlor blogspot on Saturday, May 22nd.

Queen Victoria was an exception leader who was known for her love of...

our God,
children,
animals,

roses,

and of course, tea:).

To RSVP just leave a comment with your blog address on this post.

All those participating will be posted Saturday.

Please post pictures of your teapot, teacup, and any lovely treasures or goodies that you would like to share:).

Finally, in honor of her majesty's contribution to society I ask that you make a donation (whether food, clothes, supplies, or money) to your favorite charity.

Think of all the good that could be done throughout the world if everyone helped just a little-

it would make a huge difference!

So come by Saturday and share a cup of tea and help celebrate an incredible woman who made a lasting impression on the world:).

Even if you choose not to participate be sure to visit all of the lovely blogs that will be participating!
