Central Penn Doll Collector's Luncheon With Victoriana Lady

I recently had the pleasure of speaking at the Central Penn Doll Collector's Luncheon near Reading, PA where I presented a Victorian fashion program. Many of the doll collections were on display, the antique pieces were adorable! Here are photos of some of the dolls.


                                                      The theme was a Victorian Christmas

“If you are cold, tea will warm you;

     if you are too heated, it will cool you;
                                       if you are depressed, it will cheer you;
                                                                       if you are excited, it will calm you.”

"What would the world do without Tea? How did it exist?
                                                                              I am glad I was not born before Tea."


                                                                                               Rev. Sydney Smith




"Tea that helps our head and heart.
Tea medicates most every part.
Tea rejuvenates the very old.
Tea warms the hands of those who're cold."
