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.)
