The first year we lived in Benicia CA (1996) our neighbor invited me and my twin daughters to the Teddy Bear Tea Party.  This year the Camelia Tea Room and Benicia Main Street Program are putting this "not to miss" Holiday tea party on November 28th and December 5th.  Tickets went fast in 1996 but Kathy got them for about 10 of us.  I had dresses made for myself and my twin daughters.  They were made of soft green suede like material and I must say we looked good together!  It was a special day where we dressed up for a fancy tea with fancy food. The Camilla Tea Room was decorated with holiday decorations, and smelled divine with all the goodies that were made for us.  We got to pick our tea to drink.  IF I remember right one of my daughters picked a peppermint flavor.  There were stories told and of course jolly old Santa made an appearance. The hosts encourage children to bring their favorite teddy bear to the tea too.

My daughters each selected a small tea cup ornament as a reminder of our special day.  This was over 15 years ago and the Teddy Bear Tea Party is still going on. The Camellia Tea Room is located at 828 First Street.  Their phone number is 707-746-5293.  There is limited space.  One year I waited out front in a line before the Tea Room opened to get tickets.  It was that popular!  Don't miss out, call today for your reservations.

For a memorable event your kids will not forget, plan to attend the Teddy Bear Tea Party in Benicia, CA either on November 28th or December 5th.
