WE WELCOME YOU!
Victorian Tea Society of Provience 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.
-Author Unknown
At 52, she 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 her freedom to be herself.
An idea was born . . . a challenge! Why just be apart of just a woman's society? Why not start her own society of women and men to have fun? She was always interested in the Victorian/Edwardian Era, loved having tea parties and entertaining.
So,she started calling her friends she thought would like to form a Victorian Tea Society. Without any problem she soon had 4 ladies, including her youngest daughter and son interested in the idea.
The Original Society Members 2001
The arrangements were made to meet at Baxter's on December 22nd, wearing their favorite hats. The Hats was their statement of Freedom to have Fun.
At the first gathering the table was beautifully arranged with tablecloths, lace napkins, napkin holders, flowers, candles, china, silver, and pretty place cards indicating our place at the table. the menu included sandwiches, strawberry shortcake, scones, clotted cream and jams, and best of all, the tea was served. They gave themselves the royal treatment. The Victorian Tea Society was officially launched, as they raised their cups and toasted, "Lady Estelle's Victorian Tea Society is on the go! So look out Providence, here they come wearing their Hats with Pride and Style!"
The Victorian Society is still running strong. It is now called the Victorian Tea Society of Providence. Come join us at the the Tea Room and enjoy making friends the old fashion way
