Lady Xenia and Lady Libby outside of the tent prepared for the Queen's Tea.
 

                        Several of their Excellencies with Her Highness Bryndis enjoying the repast.

                       The ladies were served strawberry lemonade, assorted vegetables, pickles, olives and  chocolate chip cookies presented on crystal plates with gold rims and white damask napkins  for the Queen and Princess.  Blue linen napkins with white hand embroidered snowflakes and clear crystal plates for the Baronesses'.    The Queen and Princess took their beverages from clear glasses with gold holders and the Baroness quench their thirst from cobalt blue glasses with silver holders.
       
                      The tables were decorated with antique hand embroidered linens and silver candelabras, the food was served on silver platters and leftovers were shared with the fencers battling outside of the tent for the ladies entertainment.

                        Lady Xenia did an amazing job of preparation, organization and presentation.  Huzzah!
