At Home

Auto portrait by Tamara de Lempicka

Eventeur J.S. Devivre spends her days working to support the 'genteel arts' and artisans through the grass roots nonprofit, Whimsicalidocious Arts the philanthropy run by the Academy of Omniosophical Arts & Sciences. 

In addition to hosting theme events (40+ in 2021 alone), she has authored  the five-part 1920s Tea Cozy Mysteries series that has included 2 walk-in-the-footsteps-of-the-characters trips to locations mentioned in the books. 

Her newest series, upstairs-downstairs tales of the White Glove Consortium, debuts in Spring 2021 with a book launch and train trip to 1881 San Francisco and Old Sacramento. 

As part of her efforts with the Tea Travellers Societea, Miss Devivre has compiled five regional tearoom guidebooks. To further support her love of afternoon tea, she also creates Tea & Sympathy Investigative Agency cold-case games and hosts interactive whodunnits at tea parlours.

Cirque du Soleil and travel are among her confessed vices. Her assistant is an English bulldog named Molly.
