Crowns Tea

I went to my first Crowns Tea at the Norman Public Library this afternoon.  LOVED IT!  It's part of the Black History Month where they celebrate black women and their church hats.  A friend of mine from church has gone the last 3-4 years and she invited me to come with her today.  We are both in prayer shawl ministry together and have hats that we wear to our semi-annual teas at church.

 

A picture of people waiting in the food line.  One of the fabulous restaurants catered the food.  They are known for their desserts!

Afterwards we took a group picture. We had a table of 6 from our church. Those pictures will be posted online on the library website in about 2 weeks. I'll get that and post it later.  These pictures were some I took with my iPhone.

 

I was trying to get a picture of the lady sitting at the table behind us. She had on purple and a purple hat.  Very pretty!  I was the only one in the blue - there were lots of black and red hats.

Here is the invitation.  Everything was free.  It is limited seating and now they have two "sittings" - we went to the first one today.  They even take your "portrait" after to show on a monitor at next year's tea.  I did have my portrait taken.  Those will also be up on the library website in a couple of weeks.  I'll try to get one and post it here.
