It is a cold day here today so even though it is not yet winter it feels like it out there. So, I am in the mood for a warm and cozy winter tea. This is the time of the year when I like to use my Friendly Village china. I am also enjoying touches of plaid in the house. I made the plaid pillows above as well as the two knit pillows using old sweaters to make them. This is in our reading nook so get comfy and enjoy reading a book along with your tea. A kind friend gave me two winter napkins and I couldn't resist making them into pillows to go with the new plaid ones ~ a perfect match! I have another tea tray ready for you as well ~ I wanted to show you my new teapot from a Summerside flea market a few weeks ago. It goes very well with the Friendly Village pattern and I love the shape of it. A Christmas/winter teacup with some apple treats from Japan that go very nice with tea. Just in case you wanted to know the name of the new to me teapot. We saw Anne Hathaways Cottage when we were in England . So just in case you would like to sit out on the porch and watch the birds I made this tea tray for you but bundle up it's cold out there or wait until tomorrow when it warms up again! I am still slowly decorating for Christmas and enjoying the process. I know many of you are doing the same as I have seen lots of inspiration out there! Today, I am joining Bernideen's Tea Time Blog for Tea with Friends and Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday. Thank you for visiting, Carolyn
