A Royal Invitation
|
|
You won't want to miss this engaging and heart warming story when Lady Penelope meets the
Queen! Growing up with an English Mother who always desired to be "Queen," life in a
"Royal" household had a lot of opportunities for abdications and coronations.
Applications for all "daughters" of the King. This is Penelope's signature talk
and loved by all. (30 to 45 min)
|
A Cup of Encouragement
|
|
How do you react when your teacup gets bumped? Do you find yourself comparing your
"chipped" pottery with a friend's exquisite fine bone china? No matter if we
loose our flavor, get steamed up too easily or flip our lid, we can always find encouragement on
the teapot trail of life. Based on Penelope's travels thru villages and hamlets in England,
you won't want to miss this "tea-riffic talk!" Perfect for luncheons or retreats.
(30 to 45 min)
|
Steeped in Tradition
|
|
Taking tea is a thoroughly British tradition, but has spread to this side of the Atlantic! Whether
informal or formal, serving tea is the ultimate art of hospitality. Penelope will share traditional
tea menus, etiquette, proper preparation and even some healthful benefits of tea. Delightful
analogies of the mature Christian "Teapot" pouring spritual encouragement into the
"teacup" of a younger life. A favorite at Mother-Daughter, Mother's Day, high
school and mentoring events. (30 to 45 min.)

table setting tips, tea tasting, invitations and tea themed parties are included in this
interactive workshop. A true "Hospitali-tea Seminar." Adapts well to holiday themes.
Ideal for retreats or workshops. (A 4 hour session, or can be broken down to 3 or 4 seperate

Personality Plus Party

us play a different role: are you the Teacup, the Teapot, the Teabag or the Teaspoon? Enjoy
learning your basic personality type with a quick and easy to understand quiz. As a Certified
Personality Trainer, Penelope will share the techniques needed to get along with others by
understanding ourselves. Very effective for business, medical offices, marriages, families or
