Tea Time–Dec 17, 2012

Christmas is approaching far too quickly….still gifts to wrap, and even some last minute shopping!

It is very pretty outside today. The large soft snowflakes are coating everything with a fresh white coat.

Inside, the teapot is ready for some Earl Grey, and we have a few cookies to go with it.

I am using a Lenox teapot, Lenox mugs, plate, and bowl.

The foil wrapped balls in the bowl are chocolates from Costco. They add a splash of colour to a table and a nice sweet finale to a meal.

I added some dried hydrangeas to the free IKEA tree in the dining room. (We paid $20 for the tree and received a $20 gift certificate ) I love real trees but we have had a faux tree in our living room for several years.  I brought out old ornaments which I’ve stored for years to decorate this Fraser Fir. It looks rather simple.

I’m joining Sandi’s weekly tea party today. Thanks, Sandi!

Hi Millie, Beautiful Lenox Chistmas holly teapot and all the other china pieces. It would be a welcoming place to sit and sip tea and have a lovely candy sweet. Your ornaments of candy are beautiful in the bowl. Thanks for sharing your kind comments!
