Williams-Sonoma Store and Bridgerton

Our granddaughter, Marissa, has a birthday on June 24th so I went to the Williams-Sonoma store this morning to get her a gift card.  Her mom says she's enjoying cooking and baking now and recently got a nice stand mixer there.  I thought I'd help fund her new hobby.

I love Williams-Sonoma and could spend a fortune in that store.  While browsing around I saw a few things that I put on my mental wish list.

I enjoyed seeing their Fortnum and Mason tea displays.

I knew Bath and Body Works and Republic of Tea collaborated with Netflix on their Bridgerton TV Series to create a product line and I blogged about it awhile back, but I didn't know until today that Williams-Sonoma has a Bridgerton collection as well.

This particular store didn't carry the full line of products - just the honey and fruit curd and mixes for Vanilla Earl Grey Quick Bread, Orange Cardamon Shortbread Mix and Strawberry Scone Mix.  I bought the Strawberry Scone Mix [$18.95] and am anxious to try it.

When I got home I went online to view the entire line of products - dishes, linens and beverages [no tea - Republic of Tea sells that line].  The linens and dishes [teapot, teacups and dessert plates] are all floral and match each other.   They also carry Bridgerton Petit Fours and other sweets and sell a lovely Bridgerton picnic basket.  

They also have a really cute honey bee collection which isn't a part of the Bridgerton Collection but it would coordinate perfectly since the bee has a dominant role in Bridgerton.

I won't be buying any of the tea party dishware, but I did order The Official Bridgerton Guide to Entertaining [$25 plus tax and shipping].  With Bridgerton's popularity, I can see why it would be a great theme tea.

I smiled when I saw a Lady Whistledown quote at the website.  I haven't watched any of the third season, but according to previews the identity of Lady Whistledown will be revealed.

Moving on to a different subject... Lucky's restaurant [where we ate yesterday] serves huge portions, so Jerry and I both got take-home boxes.  He ordered Chicken Parmesan and I got Monterey Chicken which came with two large boneless chicken breasts halves.  I heated the leftovers for our dinner today.  Hooray, a no cooking day!  ;-)

The Monterey Chicken was grilled, topped with bacon, Cheddar cheese, sauteed green and red bell peppers, onions and mushrooms.  My side dish was steamed broccoli, so the entree contained 5 plant based fiber foods plus the garden salad.  I made a Romaine garden salad again today.  

In closing, wasn't it wonderful to see Princess Kate back in public again at last Saturday's Trooping the Colour after her cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy.   The world adores her as much as Princess Diana, and everyone wishes her a full recovery.
