Good evening,
I have been a bit absent lately as there is lots to do right now but I am sure you will forgive me because you have probably been too busy to notice! I hope you are all enjoying all the hustle and bustle???
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy slowing down for a bit and joining me for a fireside tea.
It is lovely to enjoy a cup of tea by the fireside on a long winter's night.
I have some Christmas goodies for us too.
I have the mantel decorated mainly with fresh greenery and winterberries.
So romantic!
Well, I hope you don't have to rush off because I am enjoying your company and there is lots more tea!
I am joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday again- there is lots to enjoy there!
Thank you for joining me for tea!
Carolyn
