A Sparkly Christmas Tea

Sandi is hosting a lovely Christmas tea today.That girl comes up with the greatest tea party themes!
I’ve set the table with mercury glass plates (from Z Gallerie) and candleholders, and my Mom’s silver teapot.

The glass mugs are from Mikasa…we love to use them every day.

Placemats were made by my sister-in-law.
I haven’t had time to bake in time for tea tonight, so I guess it’ll be fruitcake to accompany our snack. Oh, well!

Millie, that is just gorgeous! I love the silver and the sparkle of it all. And fruitcake would be lovely with a cup of tea in those pretty mugs.

A beautiful tablescape and I specially love the mercury plates with the glass mugs. Your mother's teapot is lovely too, as everything else is. Happy Holidays.

Millie, my friend, your tea is so elegant! I love your teapot and the pheasant as well as all the mercury glass. Your table is stunning and magical as well! The glass mugs are perfect for this time of year. I am so pleased you could join me for my Christmas tea. A cup of tea and a piece of your fruit cake would be a treat. I would love to join you at your pretty table. Thanks for sharing.

Christmas blessings,
Sandi

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
