a Christmas tea party

Rose Chintz Cottage is hosting "Celebrate the Season Christmas Tea" for Tea Time Tuesday.

I am joining in and hope you will come along and visit some of the other bloggers who have joined Sandy.  Just click on the link at the bottom of my post.

I chose to use my Christmas Plaid china from Sears that I've had for quite a long time.

I have baked some shortbread cookies for us to enjoy with our Christmas tea.

The Christmas tree plate is vintage and I also have the cream and sugar set which I neglected to put on the table.  But, they are handy if you would like cream or sugar in your tea.

My centrepiece is simple.  A glass chimney with artificial cranberries and a white pillar candle in it.

I added artificial fir and real pine with small fir cones, shiny (new) ornaments, vintage light reflectors and bits of twine.

I love this vintage tablecloth with greenery and red and white poinsettias all around it.

The dining room was bathed in sunlight the day I took these photos.  I love the light coming in this window.

Here is my china cabinet.  It's a little flooded with light in this photo.  I'll post more about this soon.

Thank you so much for joining me for tea today.

I hope you will drop by and visit Sandy for 

Celebrate the Season Christmas Tea

and also Ruth for Tuesday Cuppa Tea.

{Ruth has a giveaway for her American followers too!}

You may find some delicious treats in your visits.

Have a wonderful day.

Blessings,

Pamela
