What can I say, I just can't give it up, life without Tea Tuesday would just not be the same!
Here's my holiday tea set up. My tables tend to be more simple than some but then this was a simple holiday tea.
Here's my holiday tea set up. My tables tend to be more simple than some but then this was a simple holiday tea.
We have our nutcracker centerpiece surrounded by bells of white and red and a simple white and red wreath bordering. We have our Royal Albert Old Country Roses large teapot and medium teapot standing ready for the Earl Gray Winter White tea and our pot of hot water. I only have the one teapot warmer so used my Swedish Coffee Hotten for the other warmer.
Moving around the table...
We used our Old Country Roses china as well as flatware. We used little silver plated teaspoons with beautiful little flowers. We had sugar cookies and Belgian chocolates ...
we had almond chicken salad sandwiches...
and we had honey roasted peanuts.
We had fun with family, look it's Steve!!!
Son Chad, his wife Kristy, and baby Hunter...
Daughter Heidi and Little Companion...
Tea concluded with everyone taking their little gift bag with teapot dough ornaments and little nutcracker.
Happy Tea Tuesday!!!
