We have a winner from my Thankful drawing!. Congratulations Kitty at Kitty 's Kozy Kitchen! Kitty, please email me your mailing address so I can send the gifts right off to you!
I've been at our farm cottage for a couple of weeks with no internet. Its good to be back home and to be able to enjoy all your wonderful posts! Before I left for the cottage I decorated the Christmas tree and thought it would be a perfect place for tea.
I chose a magazine, placed a tray with my new to me holiday teapot and teacup filled with Harney & Sons Holiday Tea, and settled in hubby's comfy leather chair for a little relaxing time. The teapot is marked "A Cup Of Christmas Tea" by Waldman House, Inc. and the teacup is a Lefton. I just love the long spout on the teapot!
I cross stitched the little tea cloth years ago. I made about ten of these and gave them along with homemade jam in baskets to all the great men who helped hubby build our log home.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my first Christmas Tea of the season!
Thank you for visiting. I always appreciate your visits and comments!
I'll be joining the following lovely parties! Teatime Tuesday, Friends Sharing Tea, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Teacup Tuesday, A Return to Loveliness, Share Your Cup Thursday, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, and Show and Tell Friday.

Congrats to Kitty for winning your giveaway. Your little corner for tea looks cozy and I like nothing better myself than relaxing with tea and a good magazine.

I have the "Cup of Christmas Tea" teapot too and love it. Reading Tom Hegg's "Cup of Christmas Tea" book is a tradition at our Ladies' Annual Christmas Tea at church. No matter how many times I've heard it read, it still pulls on my heart strings.
Your Christmas tree is pretty and what a cozy place to sit and enjoy it with a cup of tea and magazine.
Happy December to you and yours as we celebrate the birth of Jesus - the reason for the season!

I love the "Cup of Christmas Tea" series which is now discontinued. I was sorry that I did not keep a teapot when I sold it years ago. Hang on to it carefully as it is very collectible.
What lovely photos and thank you for coming to Friends Sharing Tea!!!
Congratulations to Kitty. I love the teapot and the magazine!

Hi Nancy. What a pleasure it must have been to come home to your warm and wonderful home with the tree up and your cozy chair all ready for you. The tea pot is beautiful as is the cup and saucer. After all these years I still need to find me a pretty Christmas tea-pot. Love your pillows and the little cross stitch just finishes off such a pleasant scene..Happy Wednesday..Judy
It's all so pretty! I have that magazine too, and am presently working on a "copycat" vignette from it.
I love your Christmas tea china!
