Hello, Elegant People
And welcome to those of you joining us from Hyacinths For the Soul.
Tea is a comforting and favorite peaceful treat when I relax. After my mother went to be with the Lord, my Daddy would get me tea every night before bed. I am an only child, so my parents were protective of me. I don’t remember asking my Daddy to get me tea. He just started doing it every night. Love is a beautiful thing. That is one of the fond memories I have of my Daddy. Now my husband asks me what kind of tea I want every night.
Finding the proper teapot was not easy. As a wedding gift, a friend gave my hubby and me an electric teapot. It lasted for years until one day when it just would not work, so we had to let it go. We searched for one with a classic design but stylish. We found this whimsical Mackenzie Childs teapot on ShopHQ and we have been using it for several years now. Although the teapot does not whistle, the design is so pretty and suits my style, so we had to have it.
Tea Time, A Great Way To End The Day
My teacups ad tray are from Temp-tations from QVC. The Temp-tations brand is ceramicware. The pieces look good and clean up well. The red carnations and blush purple daisies are from Valentine’s Day. Whether it is cold or hot, it’s nothing like a cup of tea to soothe the soul. There are so many health benefits to drinking certain types of tea.
We can always add a slice of blueberry cake.

The joys of the simple life. Enjoy the moment. Don’t get caught up with the negativity and spread some positivity glow.
I am participating in the “Tea Time on a Tray Blog Tour!” with KatherinesCorner.com. Twenty bloggers and I are sharing how we enjoy tea using a tray as the starting point. You will want to see how everyone decorated their homes!
