Happy Birthday Harry!

A very happy birthday Harry Potter!!! We kicked off Harry Potter birthday weekend last night at The Old Capitol Tea Room with a birthday tea and have one more tomorrow night!

We sure do love Harry and the entire Hogwarts crew and we love bringing them to life during our bit of “teatre” aka tea meets theatre! At the tea room, we believe a bit of magic and make believe is a necessity. Even if just for a little while, we strive to make each themed tea event a wonderland where you can come to another world, dress up, and of course have tea and treats.

Special thank you to our friends, the lovely Luna’s for playing Professors with us! We couldn’t create these worlds without the help from our merry crew of actors that add to the magic of our events.

Thank you friends for joining us for tea last night! We so appreciate your enthusiam and support of our little tea room venture. Stay tuned for upcoming events for Fall by following The Old Capitol Tea Room Facebook page or subscribe to our website, www.ourTechnicolorlife.com.

Adventures in Holland, Michigan

We drove through rain all day and finally made it to Holland, MI! Some days are just not picture perfect, folks, but you muddle on. 😁 SO much rain up in Michigan right now and the outlook doesn’t look too promising. We still managed to get in some exploring between showers and downpours, including some wine tasting in this great cherry wine region of Michigan. 🍷

We’ll have to go with a different plan for today, as more heavy rain is forecast with flash flooding advisories around Holland. The locals all said they desperately needed the rain. They were down 6” for the month. I don’t think they really wanted it all back in a matter of a couple of days, however. 😳

Despite the chilly, wet weather, we managed to explore the Holland area some on our Friday!

Busy Bees

It was another busy weekend…imagine that! 🤣

We’ve had a ton of private party bookings at our little tea room this year and this weekend was another double tea party weekend! Friday night we hosted a themed tea event that we had been wanting to host for quite some time. We are big Office nerds so we hosted a Finer Things Office Tea & Trivia circa the cringe-worthy Dinner Party episode. Jeff was of course, Michael Scott and I played Jan. There were some fabulous and very creative costumes from our guests and some serious Office trivia buffs to boot!

It was a quick turn around to get set up on Saturday for our bridal shower private party! We are so thankful when friends come to our themed events and enjoy themselves so much that they book a private party for their special occasions. It was a splendid afternoon spent in the celebration of Olivia’s newest addition. I also finished my rain barrel art project for the Arts Alliance of Jeffersonville. They have an upcoming fundraiser to auction off a handful of rain barrels hand painted by local artists.

With a lovely summer evening in our midst, Jeff and I decided to take a little cruise in our ‘59 Rambler to the Falls of the Ohio. One of our favorite places to explore, we enjoyed the sunset before heading home. Sunday brought another action packed day but a day full of fun and celebration for all of the wonderful Dad’s in our lives! We had a cook out at Jeff’s Dads with just about the whole family in attendance followed by dinner with my Mom & Dad at local favorite, Captain’s Quarters. It’s officially summer time and we are aiming to enjoy these lovely days as much as we can with friends and family!

These are a few highlights from our busy bee weekend!
