Marie Antoinette themed tea party
Our friends at Doormouse & the teapot alerted us to the following event:
If you are looking for a really fantastic day out to tickle your French fanc(ies) head off down to Quorn, Leicestershire on 6 March for an amazing Marie Antoinette themed tea party.
Find yourself plunged into the Siècle des Lumière with riotous burlesque dance performances, corsets, wigs and themed decor. Pamper yourself with a manicure, pedicure or relaxing beauty treatment then shop til you drop at the unique arts and crafts stalls.
When its time for refreshment sip connoisseur teas including Earl Grey, Lady Grey, French tistane herbal and flower teas, from fine vintage tea cups and saucers. Delight the taste buds with chocolate fountains, genuine french patisseries from Paris, Cupcakes, Petit Fours and Macaroons! Let The Picture Box record the day with an exquisite photograph to treasure.
Dress up and enjoy the fun. Tickets are just £5 (excluding photograph with The Picture Box and pampering sessions). You can purchase tickets at http://www.wegottickets.com/event/102921
Ooh La La takes place on Sunday 6 March 2011 2 – 6pm at Quorn Village Hall, Leicestershire.

It is the sort of marmalade I would enjoy at around 11am either at home or when visiting a tea room; best served, of course, with quality bread to enhance the experience.
