I love their site. The Tea Talk Mugs are adorable! I would love to have one of each...wouldn't you?
Do you make the soaps they offer? Thanks for directing us there!

No, we do not make their soap but ours are better!

Great site. I have a friend who loves tea. She even took a class on the different teas. Something from that site would be a perfect gift for her. Thanks.

I took a "Victorian Tea" class thru the local community college a few years ago..in fact, took two classes! Each class was just two Saturdays.
We learned about the history, types etc. And the second Saturday we dressed in all of our hats and attire...with gloves! And each classmate made a "dish" from the Victorian Tea cookbook we all received. Dishes such as:
Banbury Tarts
Cherry Cake
Shrewsbury Biscuits
Shortbread
Norfolk Fair Buttons
Queen Cakes
Cucumber Sandwiches
The "teacher" was from England and we had a grand time! Then, later on in the year, I had the same woman cater my step-daughter's Victorian Wedding Engagement Tea.

Did you know the double biscuits (sandwiched with jam and iced) were initally called German Biscuits.Then renamed Empire Biscuits after WW1.
Scottish baking is seriously wonderful.If ever in Glasgow the RENNIE MACINTOSH TEA ROOMS are a visit to do.

Di that sounds like a Yummy class to take. I want in on that one! And what fun dressing up in period clothing. Oh I bet you all looked divine. Do you have pic's? I wonder if that instructor has an online class. Would you happen to know? I think I'll look up some of those baking goods and see what I find...like the Banbury Tarts..very interesting!

Neat. We have a thing at NABBW and BWS where you can win books. All you have to do is sign up for the newsletter and you are entered to win a stack of books. The crazy thing is that I've notified two people alrready to tell them they won and to send me their snail mail address, and I've heard nothing. So I'm moving on to the third person.
