Royal Wedding: Excuse for British Brunch

so this is a bit of a throwback...

I found these pictures taken last April, shortly after I stopped blogging.  So I'm going to start "back-tracking" with this quick post

THE ROYAL WEDDING

Did I or my friends particularly care about the wedding of Princes Charles and Kate Middelton?  Perhaps yes, mostly because, growing up in the early 90s, with the dreamy and dashing Prince William just a few years older, meant defacto growing up with the secret wish that...

I might have the honor of hosting a delicious British-style brunch one day to commemorate the event of his ceremonious wedding. 

Biscuits and tea!

 Our array of tasty goods included homemade heart-shaped sweet biscuits by my friend Emily which were covered with Vermont maple cream (imported by yours truly), chocolate snickerdoodle cookies courtesy of Ashley, fresh strawberries and oranges, and a plate of white cheese with dried figs, dried apricots and walnuts.

Ashley made these chocolate snickerdoodle cookies, dusted with powdered sugar.

and there was tea, of course...

Always good to have an excuse for British brunch and tea.  We're counting on Harry to give us cause for a reunion...
