Elle Belle Enjoys A “Rawther Fancy” Tea At Eloise At The Plaza

img_2054This fancy, little lady had a Rawther Fancy Tea at Eloise at The Plaza! I arrived with my little sister dressed in our Friday Eloise Tea Party finest and let the tea party begin.

We arrived to the terrific tea room to find our own table specially set with pink plates, tea cups and spoons. Everything was just our size and pretty in pink! We were served only the finest of treats and drinks hand-picked by Eloise herself. We sipped pink lemonade and water and indulged in tea sandwiches, fruit kabobs, delicious pastries, and even mini cupcakes. It was all delish! My little sister was so excited that she may have even spilled a little but the hostess was so charming and told us not to worry since Eloise spills all the time. So she continued on with her fruit kabob. Yum!

The hostess played an Eloise trivia game with us and of course I knew all of the answers. Anyone who is anyone would know her Eloise fun facts. And Miss Manners would be proud of me because I never answered with a mouth full of food and always waited my turn.

Next, we read a spectacular story about one of Eloise’s many adventures, Eloise Visits the Zoo. Then we had a chance to write a letter to Eloise together and drop it in her mailbox. Eloise will make a perfect pen pal.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, the story ended but the hostess gave us a fabulous favor bag and a gift card to the Eloise store. We went back to Eloise’s boutique to shop and purchased some of our favorite Eloise books and products to take home with us along with our pure delight from such a rather fancy afternoon!

Are you ready to be rawther fancy with Eloise? Upcoming events and details can be found HERE!

Elle Belle is an adorable toddler who lives in the Upper East Side of Manhattan with her magnificent mommy, dapper dad, and baby sister. She can be reached at ellebellenyc@gmail.com.
