Sorry, Dorie, but it's all about England at our house today. I am so excited about the Royal Wedding and have taken the day off from work to watch it 'live' with my daughter. We can't wait to see Kate's dress! John thinks this is so silly of us to stay up to watch it and I will certainly tell him the same when he wakes up in the wee hours of the night to watch Wimbledon this summer. Of course, I am sure he will be joining us for breakfast which will include tea, scones, and this beautiful tin of Scottish shortbread biscuits that my dear friend, Joanna, sent from England. I just love the design on the tin and the Cath Kidston commemorative towel. Thank you so much, Joanna!
After I get some sleep later today, I will check in with my fellow Doristas to see if they made French fries with their steaks. :) Have a great Friday, everyone!
Oh I love that you are celebrating with tea and scones-- and I love your tea towel too!! I'm watching the coverage now too (DVR'd while I work from home) My husband thinks I'm silly too :) but its so fun!!! Have a great time with your daughter!
ReplyDeleteOh my... that was one late night/EARLY morning for you! Wasn't everything beautiful? I thought she was gorgeous, so reminiscent of the Grace Kelly dress. (Sigh!)
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing! I can't resist a good royal wedding! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt is the same at my house! My friend and I were up at 2:30!
ReplyDeleteIt was like a fairy tale. Hope you had a lovely post-wedding breakfast. Scones and teas sound perfect. Happy wedding! We're having friends tonight over for a mini-post-royal wedding reception dinner of our own.
ReplyDeleteElaine, How wonderful that you and your daughter stayed up and watched the wedding together. What a wonderful memory you have made. I love your tin and tea towel! Kate's gown was very reminiscent of Grace Kelly's. They showed a photo to compare both today. Cheers!! And happy wedding watching!!
ReplyDeleteMy Penguin granddaughter wanted to watch (re-runs) the royal wedding and all the ceremony that went with it this morning so we had fun with all that beautiful prince and princess dreaming and we talked about the wedding all day...such a fairy tale. Enjoyed your post much more than if I had seen another steak.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it fantastic. I taped the early portions of it and watched later in the day. I loved the dress. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteHere on the East side of the states we only had to get up at 5 AM to view the festivities! Hope you squeezed in a nap :)
ReplyDeleteElaine--good for you!! What a fun day! I wish I could have been off yesterday to watch all the coverage. It truly was special and historical! I stayed up late watching the recaps of everything. Cheers! Have a wonderful "royal" weekend ! xo
ReplyDeleteLove your tea towel. Hope you enjoyed the wedding. Catherine's dress was stunning.
ReplyDeleteI left YouTube on my laptop and woke up to a man's voice. I thought it was a burgler outside, but it was the minister at the "Abbey". 3:15 am I watched the vows, then went back to bed - so I DID see some of it live! Great that you two enjoyed the evening together - great mementos displayed!
ReplyDeleteGood for you Elaine getting up so early to witness this wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteA stunningly beautiful day, the Duke and Duchess so in love sharing their extraordinary day.
This makes one proud to be British!.
P.S Glad you enjoyed the Scottish shortbread!
How gorgeous Elaine...
ReplyDeletemy mother made heart shaped scone which were a hit. The wedding happened to be at 8pm Friday night here....so very civilised time indeed...
Yours does sound fabulous...love that cloth!
Sophie
So Elaine
ReplyDeleteNow that you've watched the Royal Wedding, better known as "the Wedding of the Century" what do you think? I loved Kate's dress. She looked stunning.
Staying home from work and watching it live sounds like a super idea. Then tea and breakfast... wow!
