Brambleberry Cottage, 206 E Pacific Avenue Spokane, WA 99202
In celebration of Jane Austen’s birthday and the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, we invite you to join us for “Jane Austen in America: A Birthday Tea Party” on Saturday, 21 November. The first Austen novel published in the United States was Emma in 1816, 210 years ago! This delightful celebration of Austen in America will take place from 12:00-3:00pm at Brambleberry Cottage, Spokane, Washington.
We will feast on sweet and savory tea fare inspired by foods mentioned in Austen’s novels and letters, recipes from Austen’s time, American food traditions, and seasonal items, as well as pots of hot tea. There will be a vegetarian tea option for the same cost. Since we have a special menu, we are not able to offer a gluten-free tea option. We invite you to wear your best Regency, colonial, or party attire and celebrate Jane Austen’s novels crossing the pond to the new country.
