The following day, some of the older, young ladies take tea at Shand house during an event called, My Favorite Cup. Maritime Noon's own antique expert, Rosemary Beckett hosted and helped identify some of the favorite teacups.

A comforting aroma fills Shand House Museum. We invited Windsor’s children to make a gingerbread house inside Windsor’s favorite gingerbread house.
