Monarchy Mondays, An Update on HRH and Middletons Royal Wedding

Are you excited as much as we are ? So I want to give you some last minutes detail of the Royal Wedding. First I want to talk about the cute souvenir I found at Cath Kidston, a premiere British designer with shops in the UK and on line here in the states. You may have seen her cute oil cloth tote bags before,  English rose flower print and very pricey, I know I have one. What could be more proper for a Royal Wedding then a cup of English tea, little tea sandwich and an adorable kitchen tea towel to serve them with ! The site has everything you need to have a "Knees Up Right Royal Party". Also check out Amazon for Royal Wedding souvenirs.
