what a wonderful time I had today on Google Duo…

I had ordered the Velvet Glove’s Mother’s Day High Tea, and the kids got Afternoon Tea from Zoe’s in the Chateau Laurier…

my grandson picked mine up and dropped it off here for me… it looked so cute…

we had such fun… their savoury items were different than mine, but it was fun to compare…

we ate our way through the savoury items, and then the sweet items… I was full, and still had four sweets left (gonna have them with my supper)…

we drank tea (mine was Liza Hill) and chatted about everything and nothing, lol…

using my fancy tea set was fun and a way to include the matriarchs in my family…

I absolutely loved the presentation that the Velvet Glove used… it was much fancier than Zoe’s, which was a surprise because Zoe’s have Afternoon Tea on their menu every day, lol… I am going to save the tiered platter to use again, or make tea for someone else;-)…

I will certainly order this again… thanks to Carly who provided great customer service at The Fairmont;-)…

planning a fancy Afternoon Tea on Sunday and I’ve been trying to find a pretty teacup and saucer to use…

somewhere, in a box, in a closet, in the basement, there is a Royal Doulton teapot with cups and saucers, but I have no idea exactly where, lol…

so, I’ve been looking online and found a very cute set which I would have ordered, but it wouldn’t arrive until next week so that wasn’t going to work… I do love the saucer though…

while on a phone call today, I remembered a set that my mom, while she was serving as a WREN in England, had sent to my grandma…

I knew exactly where to find it, and was so pleased when I pulled it out, as it will be perfect;-)…

besides the small teapot, cup, creamer and sugar bowl, it also has a little toast stand…

not planning on any toast, but it is very cute and will look great with the other treats… so cool to have this family heirloom to use which represents both my mother and grandmother on Mother’s Day…

looking forward to a fun Afternoon Tea;-)…
