An Impromptu Tea Party

-

Last weekend, my grandparents decided to stop by. They live almost 3 hours away, so we don't get to see them very often; we were excited! 

We quickly threw together an impromptu tea party...guess what? You can too! Just need a few staples in the pantry...one being, great TEA from Miss Spenser's!  ;) 


We enjoyed two pots of Frost on the Pumpkin Tea....yummo! We also had Athens Baklava in the freezer for days like this. We also had some left over tea party cookies as well as pre-packaged English cookies, and some fruit, as grandpa is watching weight.  

Even Grandma brought along some Monster Cookies to enjoy! During teatime, Grayson wanted Grandpa to share funny stories about the past. He is such a good storyteller! 



My Grandpa is a jokester. So it was no surprise that he had to tease my mother about her England treasure, a silver teapot, remarking as he examined the bottom "It's made in China!" A very fun day!

    What a beautiful family you have - is that you 2nd from left? You could be a model - you are GORGEOUS!

    I ♥ you all wanted to hear Grandpa's stories - our elderly have sooooooooooo much to share and they give such wise counsel.

    Having an impromptu tea party is best!

    When I get low on tea I need to remember you as a source - your Frost on a Pumpkin sounds so delicious! Thank you!

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    Beautiful photos. Love the last one and it is surely frame-worthy. I know it is always good to be prepared so I stock the freezer with tea-treats. Hugs, Deb

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis. They hold many found memories of teatime with my mom! May you have a blessed Christmas!! Other's Who Are Participating in Teacup Thursday! The Hope Chest Rose Chintz Cottage Antiques and Teacups
