The Royal Wedding Commemorative Plate and Book

News accounts this week say that Royal Wedding fever has taken hold here in the U.S., but I already knew that just from talking to family and friends. This weekend I spent a little time thinking about the menu and decorations for my Royal Wedding Tea, and a great gift I just received will be part of the decor.

My thoughtful friend Joanie tells me they just got these mini book sets in at Hastings, a book and music store in Newnan. The set is by Running Press, whose tea-themed sets I have written about before (here). This one features a great little book that tells the story of William and Kate's courtship.

My favorite item, though, is this 2-1/4-inch plate which comes with its own tiny little stand. If you're a Royal Wedding fan as well, this is definitely a set to look for the next time you're in your local bookstore!
