I am bursting with a Christmas secret and I need t

someone, so it will be you.

My mom is coming to visit us for Christmas, and I am taking her to a high tea at this place (in this seating area): stjamestearoom.com/nooks-18-duke-st.html

She is going to DIE. Die. She absolutely loves fancy Victorian era British stuff and has never done anything like this before. It is killing me to keep this a secret.

damn proboards effed up your link with a weirdo face!

[SKP82]

Your link doesn't work because of the emoticon, so I can't see the place!

But that sounds like fun, and very thoughtful of you!

[drrn04]

I'll trust that the place is super cool, and not eye-roll worthy in the least.

Damn!

[fuckyourcouch]

That's a really cool gift!

[drrn04]

fancy! Looks like a lot of fun!

My friend went there for her grandma's birthday and she loved it. They had all the women of the family there and they wore fun hats

[glitzyglow]

That's really cute and thoughtful!

[Doc_Lobster]

Good! I have never been there, but the reviews are all good and I know she would love to go to a fancy tea.

[angelaa73]

be sure to keep your pinky extended!

We have a fancy tea room like that here and I'm dying to go for tea service. I know zero people who would want to go with me though, and I haven't gotten up the stones to go to a tea service by myself. You are a kick ass daughter!

Oh my god, the nooks!! The cushions and fancy curtains! I wouldn't just want to have high tea at this place - I would want to cozy up and live there.

Also: does anyone else expect to see Maggie Smith pop out from behind the corner in one of those pics?

Yes! There can be no place that Victorian looking without Maggie Smith lurking somewhere.
