The Day After...

...the Royal Wedding. Well I'm not a Royal Watcher but like I said the other day my friend is. So as you will recall she invited me to watch the Royal Wedding at her house. So at 3:45 am, I trudged to Baltimore in my finest complete with a hat. When I arrived, the speculation of hat or fascinator was answered. Charmaine wore a fascinator.  She had invited another friend but I guess Sandi slept in.

Charmaine went all out and  had a beautiful tea set up for us. There were tea sandwiches & scones & biscuits....you name it. The table was set up with lace fine china and complete with flowers.

So we spent 4 hours, sipping tea, eating crumpets, having fun hat watching and getting ideas for future hat purchases.

It was an early day and a little early for all those sweets, but it was fun to spend the morning with a good friend.

Royal Ado Hat or Fascinator?

It seems that the Royal Wedding has caused a Royal Ado. You cannot go to any channel without seeing something speculating on what Kate will be wearing or who will be attending. Then there's the interviews with the fashion designers ad nauseam. Today the morning shows were outside the Palace. The world seems to have the Royal Fever.

Even one of my friends has it. She called the other day. The conversation went like this.

Charmaine (Char)

Char: What are you doing Friday? Me: I think I'm free. What do you have in mind? Char: I know you are an early bird. Can you be at my house at 5:30 am.?  Me: For what?????  Char: for the Royal Wedding and don't forget to wear a hat. Me: What???? Char: Well I've invited another friend and will be making breakfast. Me: 5:30 am? That means I have to get up at 4:30 to get dressed and drive to Baltimore. Char: But I know you are an early bird. Me: Well see.

So  what are you doing at 5:30 am EST on Friday? I'm probably going to go to my friend's house. She's a pastry chef so I know breakfast will be awesome and she's been out of town for a couple months. So I will go to see her not Kate.  But NOW I have to decide a fascinator like Char's or a hat. I've got lots of them in all colors!
