Winter White Afternoon Tea

Hello everyone,
      It is a lovely winter day here and a perfect afternoon for a winter white tea.
I have been enjoying sugar plum tea this holiday season.



I have wrapped the wicker chair in some warm winter whites and a throw will keep us nice and toasty warm if you should feel a winter chill here in the sunroom.
Pecan butterballs
An extra treat-the new Victoria arrived in the mail today.



I hope you have some time to relax and enjoy a 'Winter White Afternoon Tea' !

Today I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday , White Wednesday at Faded Charm and a Home and Garden party at A Delightsome Life

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

    It looks so pretty and cozy. We are having lovely weather here but I think it's going to turn colder and we may get snow before the week is out. Blessings.

    I often think of the Victoria magazine when I see your posts. They should hire you to set up their shots! I would like to ask if you bake all the time or if you have a freezer full of the fun cookies you always seem to have on hand. They always look delicious!

    Breathtaking - so lovely and fresh. I would love to lounge, wrapped in the lovely afgan, sipping tea. Such a beautiful corner and restful scene. I bought some Sugar Plum tea for the holidays and gave it all away! I receive a special White Christmas blend from a sweet friend that I really enjoyed.

    Such a cozy setting, Carolyn! The throw looks luxurious and the sweater touches are wonderful. Love your creamy whites. Ever notice how many teapots you and I have the same? This one is one of my favourites. Thanks for joining me for tea.

    It looks so dreamy, those pecan butter balls wouldn't last long and before you know it, I'd be snoozing (snoring more likely!), under one of those throws!

    Hi Carolyn,

    Do you still have some of those sheep cookies left from Christmas?! Or, did Heather make you more?! Haha Tell me more about this 'Sugar Plum Tea'. I'd like to try some here on my Island...

    I enjoyed a beautiful 'still-Christmas' experience last evening. I can't wait to share it with you. Alas, I am not as seasoned as you for I did not think to bring my camera. There are still many of us in these parts who are reluctant to bid farewell to that holiday feeling in our homes and are squeezing in every last second that we can. Sigh.

    I love how your furnishings are wearing their sweaters! Talk soon...

    Hugs,
    Linda

    You know how to shoot some lovely photos! I love the winter white color scheme you have in there, it's so beautiful! I am thinking that is what I want in my living room, we will be painting our walls a nice creamy white color in the near future.
    Your tea sounds good and those cookies tdf.
    Hugs, Cindy

    Hi Carolyn,
    I think you need to write your own book on afternoon tea through the seasons,this is stunning and the fur throw just makes me think of Dr Zhivago and the ice cottage.

    Hello Carolyn! I think your winter white tea could easily be part of this gorgeous Victoria Magazine - Love your teapot and the teacup reminds me of german pressed cookies. All so Delightsome! I love creating spots where one would feel enveloped in a hug, and I feel that is what one would feel when sitting on your wicker chair! Wonderful! Thank you for sharing with Home and Garden Thursday!
    God Bless,
    Kathy
