WE WELCOME YOU!
Lady Estelle's Victorian Tea Society was established in 2001 to bring together Ladies and Gentlemen who share a love for the Victorian Era and to make new friends.
We are a society of women and men dedicated to the enjoyment of tea and friendship. We lunch, laugh and learn while relaxing with other tea lovers.
Based in the New England area, located in Rhode Island. In our small groups, we each take turns being the host or hostess of the month. The tea party host or hostess may choose to serve a luncheon with a formal, informal, or even a witty theme. He or she may even plan an outing to visit a tea house, museum, etc.There is a $10.00 monthly fee, which is given to the host or hostess for that month to help defray the costs. That way we don't have to charge an annual membership fee.
Join us! Simply contact us here at the bottom of the page. Give us your full name, email address, and tell us a little about yourself.We'd love to have you!
Would you like to join us for a cup of tea~ Meet new friendship the old fashioned way?
A Cup of Tea When the world is all at odds, And the mind is all at sea, Then cease the useless tedium, And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its fragrance.
There is solace in its taste,
The laden moments vanish
Somewhere into space,
And the world becomes a lovely thing!
There's beauty as you see,
All because you briefly stopped
To have a cup of tea.

IN MY YOUNGER YEARS
It was in 2001 that I started the chapter of Lady Estelle's Victorian Tea Society, I was always looking for new and fun things to do. While browsing the internet I came upon The Red Hat Society where women gather for fun. This seemed like what I was looking for.
At 52, I decides life is too short to worry about getting older and got me the biggest red hat and joined the chapter to have some fun. The Red Hat signified my freedom to be myself.
An idea was born . . . a challenge! Why just be apart of just a women's society? Why not start one of my own society of women and men to have fun? I was always interested in the Victorian/Edwardian Era, loved having tea parties and entertaining.
So,I started calling my friends I thought would like to form a Victorian Tea Society. Without any problem I soon had 4 ladies, including my youngest daughter and son interested in the idea. The arrangements were made to meet at Baxster's on December 22nd, wearing our Favorite Hats. The Hats was our statement of Freedom to have Fun.
At our first gathering our table was beautifully arranged with tablecloths, lace napkins, napkin holders, flowers, candles, china, silver, and pretty place cards indicating our place at the table. Our menu included sandwiches, strawberry shortcake, scones, clotted cream and jams, and best of all, I served tea. We gave ourselves the royal treatment. My Victorian Tea Society was officially launched, as we raised our cups and toasted, "Lady Estelle's Victorian Tea Society is on the go! So look out Providence, here we come wearing our Hats with Pride and Style!"
