Victorian Tea Society of Providence
WE WELCOME YOU!
Victorian Tea Society of Providence was established in 2001 to bring together Ladies and Gentlemen who share a love for the Victorian Era and to make new friends.
We are a society of women and men dedicated to the enjoyment of tea and friendship. We lunch, laugh and learn while relaxing with other tea lovers.
Based in the New England area, located in Rhode Island. In our small groups, we each take turns being the host or hostess of the month. The tea party host or hostess may choose to serve a luncheon with a formal, informal, or even a witty theme. He or she may even plan an outing to visit a tea house, museum, etc.There is a $10.00 monthly fee, which is given to the host or hostess for that month to help defray the costs. That way we don't have to charge an annual membership fee.
Join us! Simply contact us here at the bottom of the page. Give us your full name, email address, and tell us a little about yourself.We'd love to have you!
Would you like to join us for a cup of tea~ Meet new friendship the old fashioned way?

Sarah at the age of 8, I was taken to England, June of 1850, to meet with Queen Victoria. She became her godmother and benefactor.
As rare as it was for her Majesty to received guests, she took a liking to her. She owe her life to the Queen and the great Captain Forbes.

Is this just the most. I adore corsets.
I am training to wear a corset at all times. A proper Victorian Lady wears her corset to complete her look.
