Our Table is Set for a Special New Years Day Tea not too long ago!
There is nothing much more inviting than High Tea with family or friends!  Not only is the atmosphere relaxed and comforting but it is the perfect time to let your table etiquette and feminine traits take prevalence over the hustle and bustle of today's lifestyle.

You don't have to go to a tea room to enjoy High Tea, you can accomplish this within your own home (such as in the photo above), or pack your favorite tea sandwiches and sweets in your wicker food hamper and find a pretty meadow to spread out your quilt.  Tea picnics are fun and a way to connect with our  Victorian friends, who long ago found this pastime to be pleasurable.

My English blood has 'rallied to the cause' this year as I have somehow fell into the routine of Tea Time every afternoon!  For me, it is a beautiful time to reflect on God's goodness and Majesty and also to write handwritten notes to friends, as well as enjoy the beautiful teacup and teapot I have chosen on that particular day!

I hope you will take the time soon to enjoy a cup of hot tea and reflect on all of your blessings! 

Please sign my guestbook
and leave me a comment
to let me know what beautiful things
you discover during your next

"Tea Time!"

With Kind Regards,

The Cabbage Rose
