An impromptu gathering of friends for tea (it only took 8 emails) seemed so much nicer at one of our homes than a coffee shop.The grayness of a cold winter day allowed the candles to shine. A wrinkled tablecloth was not so noticeable as we focused on our teacups by candlelight. Individual teapots kept me from popping up to refill a big teapot and we each choose our blend of tea.
We endulged in blueberry muffins and little chocolates,
while we caught up on our lives since the holidays.
Sweets for the palate and
sweet, nourishing conversation.
I love those plates! What are they? And those placemats--just my style. Wish I could have come for tea and blueberry muffins! I also love that cup and saucer in the very first top left photo.
ReplyDeleteThe little teapots are a nice idea and wonderful tea party for you and your friends. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWith those lovely dishes, your company at your home, who wouldn't feel wonderful! Catching up with friends, or family it's the best.
ReplyDeleteI just had one of my cousins from NY I grew up with, she's younger, though...but still so much to remember and so many memories, her parents, my other aunts and uncles, etc. We were a good group that emigrated back in 1949.
Hope your January is been smooth and have a happy and blessed year.

It does look pretty, pleasant, and cozy. You are doing so well to be hosting a tea party. This must mean that there has been great progress with your knee. You are quite clever with the individual tea pots!
ReplyDeleteAfternoon tea with friends - I can't think of anything nicer, love all your gorgeous china and the little bird :)

An impromptu tea does sound like fun and individual teapots a nice touch for personal tea favourites to be drunk. The mix and match blue and white has created a cozy setting.

Lovely blue & white pottery, perfect for a cosy tea time with friends. Individual teapots is an inspired idea, no chance of anyone receiving a cup of overstewed tea that way.
ReplyDeleteWell, that sounds like a lot of fun! I love all of the pretty cups and other dishes...and blueberry muffins are my favorite!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely tea!!!!
ReplyDeleteA very lovely teaparty! Beautiful blue and white pottery.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice idea on a winter day. I think it's so special that you have a collection of individual teapots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little post! Your dishes and table setting is perfectly quaint. Thanks for sharing a bit over your tea party.

Nothing dreary about this pretty table setting how lovely the time with friends must have been! Extra special!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! I would love to be there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea that was! I love the individual teapots. My granddaughter is helping me navigate the world of gourmet tea. (Is there such a thing). Anyway tea from The Tea Source. Really more delicious than I thought possible, although I find myself needing a cookie.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful!!
