Tea and Talk

Word lovers! What could possibly be better than talking about words?

Talking about words... while eating scones! 

Therefore, I am proposing an entertaining

"Tea and Wordlady"

event to be held on a weekday afternoon in Toronto sometime in February.

Here are the details:

 

Full afternoon tea (sandwiches, mini-quiche, scones, cream, and jam, fruit and petits fours, pot of tea) including tax and tip,
and a fun-filled one-hour talk by  

Katherine Barber

$50

T-Buds Tea Lounge

2^nd floor (17 steps)

3343 Yonge St, Toronto

At the corner of Yonge and Snowdon/Fairlawn

3 blocks north (about 5 minutes walk) of the north (Ranleigh) exit of Lawrence subway station

Space is limited to only 22

If you think this sounds like fun, please let me know, to help me schedule it, by emailing me at wordlady.barber@gmail.com:
