#DotheDownton Tea Party and Win BIG!

Jon and I don’t often agree on television shows.  I love drama, a little mystery and historical fiction.  He likes documentaries, outdoor adventure themes and PBS.  They don’t often overlap.  But on occasion we find a show that we habitually watch together.  These include: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Downton Abbey.  I know.  I’m as stunned as you are.  My. husband. watches. Downton Abbey.  Oh happy day.

What makes me even happier?  The US premiere of season four of Downton Abbey premieres soon.  As in 30 days, 12 hours and 5 minutes.  Not that I’m counting.

To get in the spirit, I’m hosting a #DotheDownton Tea Party on Sunday, with British teas, shortbreads, and special edition Downton Abbey mugs from World Market.  In fact, there’s an entire shop on World Market dedicated to Downton Abbey.  If you love the show as much as (Jon) and I do, you’ll want to load up on these fabulous themed treats and decor items for your very own Downton Abbey tea party!

I’ve hit Pinterest hard to find some inspiring recipes to get my fellow tea-drinking partiers in the spirit.  Here are some of the fun treats we’ll be sharing when we #DotheDownton this Sunday:

Republic of Tea, Walkers Shortbread, Scones with Clotted Cream and Jam, Stilton and Poppyseed Sables (recipe from BBC Good Food) and Cucumber Sandwiches (recipe from All Recipes)
