TEA BRINGS PLEASURE

I have enjoyed learning all I can about having Tea Parties and using the opportunity to enjoy time with other women. I started this blog
originally on Word Press but now am going
on blogspot and look forward to sharing
about tea time and hospitality and other
interests.


I lady name Frances Vollmer in our church
 in Burlington, Iowa gave me this china from Austria below back in the 1980's and that started me down a road and I mix and 
match it with other pieces.



 I learned as a young woman that Mexican food was very "affordable". Guess what? So is tea! I didn't always have beautiful Old Country Rose China! In fact, I just got this earlier last year "by chance" for my 40th anniversary...for many years I only had mix and match china.

(Originally there was a photo here
of my Old Country Roses China)





 One of my favorite out of print books....
You can learn so much
from reading tea books..
I hope you will consider
the possibilities of this
"interest" and get
started this year - 2009!

    Hi Bernideen! Yup, you definitely got the bling going!

    I really like the new blog's look. I laughed when I read about keeping your tea set on an old telephone table. I also have an old telephone table...it's currently the home of my printer for the computer. Alas, I am not so classy and elegant as you!

    The fox is also very cool! Is there a hole in your fence? How does he get in and out of your backyard?

    Anyway, I like the site and I'll be back! Julie B

    You really set a lovely table with your china. I'm having the ladies at my Bible Study table for tea in February so I'll be checking out some of your recipes :0)

    Your tea setting using Old Country Roses is wonderful! That is one of my favorite patterns. I'm still loving your new blog. Blessings! Sharon

    Beautiful china --- I also have Old Country Roses. My husband bought it for me 'over time' (birthday's, Christmas, etc.). I also inherited my mother's set --- which she inherited from her father. So, it's quite a mix and filled with many warm connections.
