Tulips and Tea by the fire on a gloomy day

Tulips and tea by the fire on a chilly grey day -- the warmth of your friendship makes my day

Tulips and cake and French tea these always cheer me!

Come sit by the fire and relax

It was so gloomy I lit votives. Pink sugar and Marie Antoinette tea from Laduree

My treasured silver heart tea ball from a long ago trip to London.


One of my old silver tea strainers that I collect. This one is so delicate

Pink scalloped edge napkins are so fun used with a white linen table runner

Almost all ready--ooh where is the sweet treat?

My teapot is full of French tea so soothing on a chilly day

Chocolate cake and good company always brighten any day!

We are having some grey, gloomy days lately. The winter grey days make most of us a bit gloomy or depressed. What better way to cheer yourself and others than by having a lovely sweet tea by the fire?

My tea set is one of the first things I bought when we married. It is all hand painted and had all those soft colors I love. It has served me well for over 30 years. The dessert plates I found later but they are an almost match!

Tulips always make me think there is hope for sun again and that spring will be here soon.

I put the tea things on my papier mache coffee table. I bought it in Savannah years ago. I love having tea by the fire especially with friends dear blog reader so join me and

Have a Pink day!
