The library will be holding a Farewell to Downton Abbey Tea Service on Sunday, March 13, from 2:00 – 4:00 PM. As part of this event, we are raffling and auctioning off several themed gift baskets. Winners will be chosen at the end of the Tea Service, but you do not have to attend in order to win. Raffles and auctions are open now!
These baskets will be raffled off. Tickets can be purchased for $2 each, or 8 for $5.
Mrs. Patmore’s Tea Party Basket: Mrs. Patmore is the cook at Downton Abbey. Enjoy a basket filled with teas, jams, shortbread, tea cups, cookbooks, and all kinds of yummy treats.

Lady Edith’s Literary Basket: Lady Edith is the family bluestocking. Relax and enjoy an assortment of Edith’s favorite reads tucked into a lovely hat box, as well as some vintage stationery.
Dowager Duchess Violet’s Garden Basket: The Dowager Duchess is quite the gardener (or at least her staff is). Create your own beautiful garden with these lovely pots, seeds, glass self-watering bulbs, gardening gloves, and books.
This basket will be auctioned off, with bids starting at $50.
