Hello everyone,
Come on in and join me for some holiday tea by the fireside.It has been a little chilly out so it is cozy here by the fire.
I used my old silver teapot and black and white toile teacups today.
This picture was shot using the tungsten light instead of the cloudy setting.i am not sure which you like best but it is good to experiment with the different settings.
I will try to do another post before Christmas but just in case I don't see you I will wish you all a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.Thank you for all the kind comments and emails you have left for me this past year and hope to see you soon!
I am joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.
To see the beautiful Christmas Tea for Lucas please take a few minutes and pop in to see Linda at Beautiful Ideas- you will be amazed!
Love to you all!
Carolyn

Just wonderful, Carolyn! I love this set up by the fireplace and with the tree and garland surrounding your table, it looks like a tea in a winter forest.
It's like stepping into Anne of Green Gables, coming here!
Your photos are magical...
Such a cozy spot to take tea on these cold damp days and evenings! May you have a blessed Christmas!

Carolyn, Your tea table by the fire is just lovely, in fact, it's one of the loveliest spots for tea I think I've seen. Wishing you a Christmas filled with peace and joy.
Merry Christmas!
