Sunday Funday here at The Old Capitol Tea Room! The sunshine was out in full force outside and even more so inside with this beautiful group of ladies! The lovely Violet hosted friends and family in celebration of Liz’s upcoming wedding and it was such a treat getting to meet them both. I knew we were destined to get along when they said they grew up playing tea parties together!


Host your special occasion with us here at The Old Capitol Tea Room. We are booked through April & May but have availability in the summer months. Please visit out our TEA page for more private party information and our private party booking form! ❤️

And on Friday night we had a theme I had been very excited to host and I’d be lying if I said we didn’t have a little fun with this theme! 🤣 We were already huge Downton fans and now with the latest show Gilded Age, there’s even more cause for fancy tea parties! We hosted a Gilded Tea Party complete with a fashion show! Prizes were awarded for Most Authentic and Most Creative, both of which were well represented.


We had so much fun getting ready for this theme and we thank you lovely ladies for attending and joining in the festive atmosphere! I like to say, I called in the pretty flurry snowfall just for the spectacular backdrop a la the Christmas episode of Downton. 😉


👉🏻If you’d like more information about our tea room, head on over to our TEA page for information about events as well as private parties. We now have our public theme tea events April-July now posted and tables can be purchased under each specific event. We’ve got some great themes this spring and summer so grab your tickets while you can!

So much fun talking “Lucy” with these lovely ladies! Erika & Ziva are huge Lucy fans and they have a fabulous podcast talking about all things Lucy, called Having a Ball podcast! See below how to connect with Having a Ball!

In this movie review of the Lucille Ball/ Desi Arnaz 1956 film, ‘Forever Darling’, we talk our way through Lucy and Desi’s third film together!

We discuss the stunning wardrobe, the familiar faces and the parallels with I Love Lucy.

We also find out how Lucille really felt about this film and behind the scenes trivia and production facts. The movie also features James Mason & would be the last motion picture that Lucy and Desi would do as husband and wife.
