My daughters and I had a rather impromptu tea party with a couple of friends, where we all showed our sewing projects to each other and chatted about sewing and other handwork. It was fun to see what others were working on and it was fun to share tea and treats.Some of our tea parties can be rather fancy... others quite simple, but all of them are fun.
Our friends brought some wonderful savory treats also that had egg and sausage. They were delicious, but I don't have a picture, sorry. :)
We enjoyed seeing crochet projects, quilt projects and more. It was nice to spend time together and get to know each other even better.
It can be fun to have a tea party and use some of those pretty dishes that tend to just look nice in the cabinet. This time, we used the regular items.. the Oneida teapot is one we use very often. In the winter it is usually full of hot tea at breakfast, and we all drink a cup of it. With the cooler temperatures in the evenings and mornings as we are in fall now, we are enjoying tea more often and soon the teapot will be full of tea at every breakfast again. :)
I hope you are enjoying your day and I am glad you took time to visit my blog.

DeleteAn informal tea party is fun and I like the moulded shortbread that someone made.
ReplyDeleteIt was the same recipe we usually use, but it tasted a little better since it looked so pretty... my daughter (Wholesome Joy) made it. :) Thank you for visiting.

I agree- it is relaxed fun. :) Thank you for visiting... it was so nice to have you. :)
DeleteLove this! Growing up I had many tea parties with my Mom, sister, and Grandma. I now have 2 daughters to continue the tradition!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun.... I never had a tea party until I was married and had children..... so I am enjoying them and am glad they will have good memories of them. :)
DeleteOh and a grown up party too :) Nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up to Teach Me Tuesday last week. We hope to see you again there this week. Our party would not be such a growing success without you :)
Have a great week!
Yes, tea parties are fun for little girls... and adult women also. :) Thank you for visiting. :)
DeleteThis looks like my kind of tea party. I have often had fellowship with other women and their children as we gathered together to do needlework, spinning, and share tea, coffee, and simple food. The best times ever ! There is something so special about times like this and they are so precious. Hospitality shared with like-minded people is inspirational and invigorating too.
ReplyDeleteI agree.... such parties don't happen as often as they should, so I am glad to try to revive them. :) Thank you for visiting and commenting. :)
