Thank you so much for stopping by on the Christmas Home Tour and your sweet comments! I enjoyed seeing everyone's decorations, too.
My friend Revee and her two girls are coming over for a visit today, and I have my Christmas tea tray ready.
We are having gingerbread cookies for dessert.
I made extra special ones for her girls to take home.
Have you tried any of the Celestial Seasonings holiday teas? We love Gingerbread Spice and Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride the best. Cookie recipe coming soon!
How sweet this all looks Kelli! Have fun with your tea!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed visiting your "place"! Very sweet and nice. Lots of fun
ReplyDeleteRoxanne
Oh, I wish it was me coming for tea!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I come?! ;-) Looks like it will be lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sugar Cookie tea also! My husband likes the Candy Cane Lane :)
ReplyDeleteKelli, when I saw your tea table I was going to tell you about the Celestial Seasons teas. Aren't they wonderful? I've never really liked hot tea but those are delish!! Have a wonderful time with your friends.
ReplyDeleteThis all looks just beautiful! I have never seen those tea flavors! Now I need to go looking for them, they sound delicious:>)
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law has that same set of tea cups..I have always admired them. Love seeing all your creative ideas Kelli.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Christmas tea.
ReplyDeleteThe white teapot and holly ribboned teacups with white and saucers look so festive together on the tray.
That's one of my favorite paintings, "The lady with the Parasol, so serene. When we moved into our new house, we didn't rehang it. It also can be found as life-size sculpture in N.J. at a place called Grounds for Sculpture.,it is displayed outdoors on a hill. Monet's bridge is there nearby.
Have fun with your tea party! Everything looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour tea tray looks so inviting, Kelli! Your guests are going to feel so special and the girls will remember your special touches a long time:)
ReplyDeleteWe are having tea at my daughter-in-laws baby shower on the 27th at my home. Thanks for the tea recommendations:)

ReplyDeleteAwwwww! I want to buy the holiday tea, so yummyyyyy! I love your Christmas decoration.I have the creamer and sugar for the set of your tea cups!!! Thank for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh Kelli - I wish we could get together for a cup of Christmas tea - I've invited a few friends, but everyone seems so busy! Imagine - not having time for a cup of tea? I am loving a new tea from our bulk store 'holiday treat' - spicy and fruit with lots of bold color and fragrance! Delightful!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a delightful time and enjoy the gift of friendship!
Hey Kelli; everything looks pretty for your tea time today. Drink some for me! It's cold and icy here!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so pretty! No, I haven't tried those teas yet - they sound yummy. I'm more of a coffee drinker!

Herbal tea is the only type of tea we drink at our house and those two are our favorites along with the sugar plum. I stock up on them at Christmas and use them year round :)
ReplyDeleteMy oldest daughter has even started drinking the gingerbread spice tea instead of hot cocoa.
I've never used a tea pot before. It looks so pretty.
Sugar Plum Spice and Candy Cane Lane are my favorite teas from them this time of year. Your tea setting is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMrs. P

ReplyDeleteTea time at your house looks like a special treat!
ReplyDeleteI stopped back by to get the Buckeye Brownie recipe and my eyes behold your post from today. What a wonderful and inviting atmosphere. Praying that your visit is sweet from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely and special that looks!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying candy cane lane tea, but the sugar cookie sleigh ride sounds wonderful!
I actually have tried Gingerbread Spice and Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride...although I can't say that they are my favorite! LOL! Hope you have a good time with your friends!

Everything is so pretty, Kelli. And, I'm going to have to look for those teas, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm am NEEDING to buy the Sugar Cookie Tea. I didn't know they made that flavor for Christmas time. I have been so pregnant sick and can not drink any coffee. That would be perfect. Thank you. And the cookies are so sweet and thoughtful. What a great and nice friend you are.
ReplyDeletewendy
What a beautiful tea you will surely enjoy! So nice to gather with sweet friends to enjoy a cuppa!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day for you and your guests. You are such a wonderful hostess......at home and on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI bought the "Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride" tea. I had some Bigelow "Ginger Snappish" at Thanksgiving time. It was really yummy so I went out and bought that for myself and a some for gifts. I will put a couple of packets in the mail for you to try.
It is snowing here today Good day to stay in and do my cards. :-) Love, Debbi
Kelli, I have the Braum Bro. Victorian Holiday 'Roses' (You have the Poinsettia)! My pattern is an earlier pattern. Recently I found a coffee pot and salt & pepper shaker in the poinsettia pattern and purchased them as they go perfectly with the roses.
ReplyDeleteYour tea setting is lovely!
Hi Kelli, I wish I was coming over to your house for tea. I bet it's nice and warm and cozy. I'm making sugar cookies today, the oven will make the house warm. See you later, thx for sharing. :sip:sip:
ReplyDeleteLove your tea! The tray is all set and ready for your guest, no I did not hear my name. lol Just this morning I recieved, from my tea swap, my first Christmas tea cup, saucer, and cookied plate. They are the same pattern as yours! Love those gingerbead cookies!
ReplyDeleteI was looking at those teas the other day at the grocery store. I wasn't sure if they'd be any good so now I'll have to try some. Hope your tea is wonderful. Mimi
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteI love your sweet Christmas tea! Those teacups are so dainty and I would love to taste a cookie or two. :)

ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try all the Celestial Seasoning holiday tea flavors, since I have heard such good things about them! Unfortunately I have not seen them for sale at the stores we shop. I might just need to do an internet search!
ReplyDeleteI have loved all of your pictures and recipes you have been showing! I received my package and am thrilled beyond belief with everything thank you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask you the club at church the girls go to ..is it based on the life of faith books/dolls? Ok talk to you soon!
Love ya!!
