9 Days until tea time! 🍵🌸

If you've been saying you need an excuse to get dressed up, grab a friend and actually make plans, this is it!

On Saturday, September 19th, The Union Room is turning into an afternoon tea party inspired by all the things we love about a beautiful, slightly over-the-top afternoon out. Beautiful dresses, tea cups, flowers, light refreshments, Instagramable photos, good conversation and absolutely no reason whatsoever to be in a hurry.

Come dressed up or simply come as you are, but if you've been waiting for somewhere to wear that dress, we're giving you the excuse!

Advance tickets are required so we can prepare for each guest. Ticket sales will close before the event, so don't wait until the morning of!

Grab your girlfriend, your mom, your sister, your daughter, or the friend you've been meaning to catch up with and make an afternoon of it 🎀

The Union Room is located at 86 Golden Street, New London

This inspired me to host a tea house event

My husband's sister had her wedding at the lake house my late grandmother left me and turned both the yard and the house into a garbage dump — so I gave her a wedding gift she'd never forget.

My husband's sister, Kelsey, had always been an incredibly entitled person. I usually stayed out of it because I figured it wasn't my business.

Until this happened.

Kelsey was getting ready for her wedding, but two days before the ceremony, she came to me and said:

"The restaurant where my wedding was supposed to be held FLOODED. It's wedding season, so there are NO venues available for that date. I really need your lake house! It would be perfect for my wedding!"

That lake house had belonged to my late grandmother before she left it to me.

It was where Grandma planted flowers, sewed decorative pillows for the couch by hand, and made pancakes for me in that kitchen. I take care of the house and do everything I can to keep it exactly the way she left it.

So I was against the idea.

But my husband begged me to help Kelsey because "we're family," and his sister desperately needed someone to save her wedding.

So I agreed.

I was supposed to attend the wedding, but early that morning, my aunt was suddenly rushed to the hospital. I ended up missing the entire celebration because I went to be with her.

The next day, I returned to the lake house and nearly fainted.

The flowers from my grandmother's garden had been ripped out and used to decorate a WEDDING ARCH.

Trash was scattered all over the backyard and throughout the house. Plastic cups, snack wrappers, and champagne bottles were lying everywhere. The kitchen looked like one giant garbage dump.

The lawn was completely destroyed, as if heavy tables had been dragged across it and people had danced on it all night.

I called Kelsey, demanded to know what had happened, and told her she needed to clean everything up and restore EVERYTHING EXACTLY THE WAY IT HAD BEEN.

She laughed and said:

"It was MY WEDDING, so I did whatever I wanted. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK. Instead of wasting your time calling me, you should've already started cleaning."

I'd had enough.

I knew EXACTLY how to teach Kelsey a lesson.

I sent her a SPECIAL box as a wedding gift.

That evening, she called me screaming:

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! NO!"
