It has inspired me to get organised and have a Austen theme 21st. I was thinking tea party and after reading your wonderful ideas and historical facts, I'm thinking more of a picnic like Fanny had in Mansfield Park, and have (of course) beautiful teas as well. Thanks for inspiration :) At the moment they have been playing a new BBC Jane Austen series, last nights was Mansfield Park. It has inspired me to get organised and have a Austen theme 21st.

I just watched "Becoming Jane" this weekend, and there was only one scene with tea. I think Mrs. Austen did offer Maggie Smith's character a dish of tea, but I am going to confirm that. Great excuse to watch the movie again. Karen, that is a great point. I just watched “Becoming Jane” this weekend, and there was only one scene with tea.

I miss reading about the Victoria Era. I like the idea of bring a dancer in to replicate the music in Jane's time. I can't wait til my daughter is a bit and older. These ideas are going to be wonderful to add to parties! OH, what great history! I miss reading about the Victoria Era. I like the idea of bring a dancer in to replicate the music in Jane’s time.

If my memory serves me right (and JA fans can hop into research mode to correct me) her characters refer to drinking or taking a 'dish' of tea. Which is like a small bowl.

Although I must say, I prefer the movie over the book. Forgive me, literary gods, but Emma Thompson did an amazing job with her screenplay. And Kate Winslet is hot (forgive me, I'm the only guy commenting here!). At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed your post. I always enjoy a little history lesson. And I love tea, herbal preferably.

I am addicted to my tea myself, and come from a country of tea drinkers. There's no amount of caffeine guzzling that can match the supreme elegance of a 4 o'clock cuppa, IMO! This is a great blog!
