Welcome
A Royal Tea Party for Shondrea Sillie
A royal decree was sent out to invite all the female royalty to the high tea in honor of Shondrea. Several months prior, Ray had promised her that he would host a tea party for her and some of her friends. We wanted to be sure to make it authentic, and to add a few extra touches to make it even more special for the girls. Fifteen girls attended and it was a magical day. Lord William Ray Fuller and Lady Joan Marie Fuller of Chaol Ghleann hosted the Royal high tea party for Lord William’s goddaughter Shondrea. Lady Joan made cookies for the special event. Lord William made the smoke for the tea pots to add a little touch for the young ladies.

High tea is a must for every young
lady. To invite ladies across the land
to join her and be hosted by a real
Lord and Lady just adds to the
event.

Lord and Lady Fuller
dressed in their royal
garments for the event,
and posed for photos in
the royal dining room.
Each of the royal subjects and their
mothers had opportunities for photos
in the royal dining room, and even
had the chance to have a photo with
Lord Fuller.
Because it was a very special day based
on fantasy, we had to add extra touches
to make it even more special. Ray made
place cards for each of the girls with
their official titles. We used steaming
teapots as part of the table decorations.
The girls couldn’t figure out how we
made the teapots steam, and they
wondered why the steam was cool
instead of being hot like they expected.
All the young ladies wore their party best dresses. We invited them
to bring along their favorite doll or stuffed animal, too. We had them
tell a little bit about who they had brought with them.
Some of the attendees were
Shondrea’s friends from school,
some were from her dance class
and some were friends of the
family. They were all so well
behaved and acted like the royalty
they truly are.
Joanie took time to explain the ceremony
involved with high tea, including proper table
etiquette. Ray explained some of the royal titles
that had been bestowed on the girls for the day.
The girls went home with an extra bit of
knowledge they hadn’t had before.
Petite scones were served on the layered castle in
the background.
Lady Joan made petite scones, dainty sandwiches and
cookies as the fare for the tea. Some of the young
ladies had never had hot tea prior to this day, so it
was a new experience for them. The photo is from a
high tea in England.
Lady Joan and the kitchen staff (well, maybe just Lady Joan)
prepared the dainties for the day. Everything was prepared in
the royal kitchen on the premises, and all the details were
done by hand by Lady Joan.
The Lord and Lady of the castle set and decorated the tables for the guests. Lord Ray was in charge of most of the
decorations. Lady Joan served tea in china passed down from her royal family.
Each girl in attendance was given a hand-
made card thanking them for attending the
tea party. They needed a little momento of
the day.
It took a little time to assemble the cards, but it
was fun for us to know that they would be
taking home something to remind them of the
tea party. We have heard often since from
mothers that their daughters were still talking
about that day many weeks later.
The Lord and Lady of the castle were happy to host this grand tea party for all of the attendees.
