A Winter Tea




Hello everyone,
On this sunny cold beautiful winter day ~ I am happy to have
you join me for a cup of hot tea where we can be warm and cozy
by the stove but enjoy the sparkling white snow from the window.

I am using my brown and white transferware again.

                                                                A winter bouquet.



                                 Help yourself to a gingerbread cupcake. Please overlook the messy
                                decorating job I did  on the icing ~ especially all you foodies.
                                                                     

The snow is piling up out there. It seems every few days lately we get another fresh supply.

Well ,another year is almost over and a brand new one ready to begin so I want to wish you
all health and happiness for 2014.
I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.

Happy New Year!

Thank you to all who have visited and left lovely comments for me this past year.

Carolyn

What a lovely afternoon tea setting. I'm not a tea drinker, but those cupcakes look absolutely yummy. I also love your beautiful drapes and those pine cone candles. Perfect setting and photos. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year, Carolyn! It has been another wonderful year of enjoying your beautiful pictures and posts. This one is no exception. Your cupcakes have the best icing {and I love that you didn't skimp on it either!}. This looks like a wonderful spot to enjoy your tea while being warm and taking in the snow outside your windows. I love your curtains. They are so pretty. Looking forward to enjoying your posts as we begin 2014.

Hello Carolyn,

"Bonne année et bonne santé" for you and your family. I wish you health, happiness and success in 2014.

The gingerbread cupcakes look apetizing indeed.
Love the touch of pale green leaves on the tea table.

All the best.

Dear Carolyn, I just had to drop by to wish you a Happy New Year! But truly, taking a moment to join you for tea within your soothing and stunningly beautiful, cozy world is a healing elixir and a lovely way to begin the new year. Your world is an oasis from the larger crazed and sometimes very cruel world. Many Blessings for you and yours throughout 2014! In gratitude for the beauty and charm you add to the world, Carol

Your blog and photos are so beautiful and inspiring! I especially love the brown transferware - I actually bought 3 pitchers just last week, 2 of which were 50% off at a local boutique so I could not resist them. I'm anxious to get out to purchase some flowers for them - a much needed bright spot on this dreary January day here in the mountains of West Virginia.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, I just want to thank you again for having me in your blog list. I bought a fabulous camera for Christmas, my first DSLR so hope to share some lovely New Zealand interiors on my blog this year.

Your home is magical and I love everything about it, only wish I lived closer to photograph it.

Lee :)

Dear Carolyn,

A Happy New Year to you, Andrew and the rest of your family. Special love to your mother!

I enjoyed seeing photo's of your beautiful tea. How lovely it must have been sipping your tea, while looking out of the window now and then to see the snow white carpet in the garden.

Love,
