Yoo Hoo! Wave to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee*

Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,  will be celebrating 60 years as ruling monarch of the United Kingdom, with her Diamond Jubilee Tuesday, June 5, 2012. In honour of this celebration there have been much buzz around London, and all over the country.

 

Beauty and the Snob has found some quintessentially British brands and traditions to get into to celebrate and mark this special occassion. Granted, not everything is for sale, but isn't it wonderful to see all the unique creations and displays that people have created just for her Royal Majesty?

 

The best part? An incredibly LONG WEEKEND! The Bank Holiday will be moved to Monday June 5, and extended to be a (wait for it) 4 day long weekend. Woo hoo! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

It's just like what the MADHATTER says about muchness.....

 

"You used to be much more....'muchier'...You've lost your muchness..."-MadHatter, Alice In Wonderland

 

If you're wanting muchness or get your muchness back with the Diamond Jubilee....you must have high tea!

Please remember that if you're going to drink Earl Grey, drink it like the Queen!

 

How to drink Earl Grey like her Royal Majesty: No milk, no sugar, perhaps a slice of lemon. Note, that Earl Grey is also a fantastic thirst quencher. Indeed, perhaps the best tea to have at tea time.

Going to the In-Laws...for the Jubilee Celebrations? Need a gift? Check out this Pair....

So the In-Laws have invited the pair of you over for a barbeque weekend to celebrate the Diamon Jubilee. What do you bring? Watermelon? Beer? The Father in-law won't care, but Mother-in-law might not look at you so kindly.

 

Get on her good side, and bring a gift that she can treasure and brag to all her friends about how you did: GOOD!

 

Crabtree & Evelyn's Diamond Jubilee Limited Edition India Hicks bag & Hand Wash & Hand Therapy is the ultimate gift. It includes a 275g bottle of their lovely Spider Lily Lotion, & Hand Wash. The India Hicks bag is fab for mother-in-law to carry out to put a few bits in when going shopping like a brolley, or an extra fold-away bag for foods.

 

My advice? Better spoil the mother-in-law as she's a bit of QUEEN too isn't she??

 

This set at £25 is available at all Crabtree and Evelyn stores or online at: www.crabtree-evelyn.co.uk
