    Becoming Queen!

    Saturday, March 16, 2013, 4:31 PM [General]

    So excited, moved from supporting member to Queen 3/14/2013! This is THE BIRTHDAY MONTH for me (big 50) and I've made the leap from the kiddie pool to the deep end. I decided to become Queen! I am looking forward to building a beautiful Chapter with some amazing women, and making new friends along the way. I find it an honor to introduce women to this wonderful organization.

    I will be holding a tea on 4/20/13 at Abigail’s Tea Room for anyone interested in finding out more about the RHS.

     

    Ta ta for now!

    High Tea

    Saturday, December 8, 2012, 7:16 PM [General]

    RHS Event

    Enjoyed a High Noon Tea with special friends of RHS, donning my new antique red Christmas hat! This time it was the Lavender Patch, a Bed and Breakfast/Tea Room in Marietta PA. Food and atmosphere was wonderful, would recommend this tea room to anyone that delights in fine food. We had pomegranate tea, arulula salad with apples and pomegranates, finger sandwiches which included a goat cheese and cucumber “tree shaped” sandwich, candy-cane scones with Devonshire and peppermint cream, finishing off with a cream-de-mint ice-cream, sugar cookie and Santa Claus hat brownie.. All the food was homemade and served with decorative touches. Nice day to relax and re-group after a busy week.

    Evening Countess Kate! You are my very first Pink Hatter that I've met! :) I know what you mean. Once I got to chatting with people, I was fine and had a lot of fun. :) I actually just bought a pink hat off of Ebay as well. I LOVE it! It cost me more than I wanted to spend. But I figure I have a few years before I REDuate. So it will get a lot of use. lol Ta for now :) Comtesse Lilly

    Sounds like you're a busy Mom! Thanks for taking time to check in again. I am still trying to figure this whole thing out as well, especially the blog and how it works! Have you figured out how to add friends?Do you find moving around the Blog easy? Maybe I'm just missing something but FB is a lot easier, lol! I contacted 3 chapters and heard back from one. They were very hospitable, but don't think it would be a good fit for me (I work during the day and need to connect with a Chapter that has more activities in the evenings and weekends). If I don't find some Chapters to visit soon, I'll just have to start my own, although that is scary being that I don't really know how they work. Keep me posted and let me know if/when you find a local Chapter.
