This 1938 photo (courtesy of somewhere in cyberspace) would seem to be the type of tea party I would have had as a child - were I "into" tea back then!!!! Of course, I was not yet a "glimmer" in my mother's mind in 1938!!! She was of the age to be having imaginary tea parties back then!!!
Who better to have as guests than animals??? Not quite a Mad Hatter's tea party - but it will do!!! A hawk, and a lobster- the lobster being quite content to be a guest and not an entree !!!!
How 'bout tea in a tree????
1921, Tea at the Kit-Kat Club - not sure where this club was!!!
My new Yixing clay teapot (all kinds available at Julieanna) |
My very early morning tea-in my English lidded bone china mug- Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea- because it's 3am, and I am going BACK to bed!!!
Love the Tea in a Tree! And that Yixing pot is lovely! I have 2, but never use them. One is a little one that is painted like a duck sleeping and the other is of usable size, but I find the handle gets very hot. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteReally fun post Pat...and your new tea pot is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI went to bed at 3am...I have been opening some boxes we put in storage when we were redoing our LR and it's like Pandora's box each time I open one...wonderful stuff (so much!) come exploding out needing a new home
hope you get a good night's rest tonite Lady!
