I had the pure delight of having my nieces over my house for a Girly Weekend. My niece Michelle turned 30 and her sister master minded an Anne of Green Gables slumber weekend at my house! We had a tea party and my niece Katie was in charge of table decor. The above was her creation for the event!
Here are the girls enjoying tea!

Sunday afternoon I dropped hubby off at the airport and decided to check out downtown Seal Beach. I saw this really cute shop called the Back Porch and then noticed a tea room, the Fairy Tea Cottage, right next door that was actually open on Sundays. I decided to check it out.
The tea room was plain and simple with lace tablecloths draped over a solid tablecloth. These were covered with a glass top. You also had a choice of hats to wear for your tea experience!
The service was nice. The tea (Fairy Tea Special Blend) was delicious. I chose the Queen of the Fairy Tea which included: Traditional pot of tea; Homemade scone with Devonshire cream and jam; Soup of the day or garden salad; Assorted Fairy Tea Cottage sandwiches; and choice of dessert.
The way they served each of these items was different from my other tea room experiences. Each, course I guess we’ll call it, came out one at a time. I want you to notice that in the above description of the Queen of the Fairy Tea, there is only one item that is plural – sandwiches. No three tiered plates with little miniature goodies on each plate. I received one scone – nice sized – but only one.
The soup was from the Soup Kitchen and they donate an equal portion to someone in need through their food banks. I thought that was a great touch! I just wish I had the sandwiches at the same time so I could enjoy the soup and sandwiches together.
The sandwiches were very tasty and they had a great variety of interesting combinations. I was hoping for the same variety in the scones and the desserts.
When I finished trying the different sandwiches, the dessert tray was brought around and I had the choice of one LARGE dessert. I wanted to try all of them and I think it would have been nice to have that opportunity. I wish the desserts were offered just like the sandwiches – a variety and bite sized!
So, all in all, it was a nice experience – just some things I would definitely do differently if I owned the place.
My sister Ellen took me to Madam Fifi’s Tea Room for a belated birthday lunch! Oh my was it a treat! Madam Fifi is just a delight! If you find yourself in Bothell, you MUST enjoy a cup of tea at Madam Fifi’s!
We had the Grand Tea for Two and it was grand indeed! YUMMY!
Madam Fifi also has a bakery with wonderful cookies, scones, brownies and other mouth watering treats!
Of course there is a gift shop at Madam Fifi’s as well! I bought some teas to take home and enjoy!
Thank you Ellen for introducing me to this wonderful place for tea and thank you Madam Fifi for a delightful birthday lunch!
