ANOTHER MAKE MINE PINK TEA PARTY

TEA FOR ME – JUST ME

I really love a great Tea party but sometimes I just like to set up a nice little Tea Party just for me.
Today it’s cold and wet – where has that gorgeous Spring weather gone!
Soo…. today it is one of those days that you just want to sit back with a cup of tea and read a good book.
Out comes my favourite green cup filled with calming chamomile tea.
Some yummy Chocolate Coated Finger Biscuits on my plate ~ oh I’m in heaven.
My rose scented candles are lit ~ smells soo.... sweet.
Just for an hour ~ I’m sure that’s all ~ reading for a whole hour – all alone.
Oh yeh ~ I am in heaven.
I am just picking up my book…….



I love the Lily of the Valley on this cup and my little green anodised teapot is perfect when making tea ~ just for me

What a lovely idea to use your very own special cup - Lilly Of The Valley always reminds me of my beloved Nana, as she used to have the proper shrub and obviously the cold Dunedin climate must have suited, as it was always a mass of heavenly perfumed flowers.
My felted hats are from a pattern -would you like it??
