Pretty Table Settings for Savoring Tea

Rain-soaked days are perfect for taking some time for myself and relaxing with a cup — or two! — of tea. Rather than just pour some into a mug and flop on a couch, I like to set a delightful tea on a pretty table. Alone with my thoughts, perhaps some soft music . . .


I was excited that Katherine invited me to join her as a guest blogger on the wonderful Katherine's Corner! For the occasion I styled a lovely Tea Garden for Spring that echoes the emerging garden outside my window. Here's a peek at the table but I hope you'll visit Katherine's blog to see the full post and all the details.



 
I have occasionally posted table settings for enjoying tea on Dinner at Eight, so I thought I'd share several of them again with you. Just click on their titles to view the complete post and discover the styling details that went into them.
 
The gorgeously patterned tea dishes my daughter had given me became the focus of a Valentine's Day Table Set for Tea.
 
  

  


Vintage silverplate holding scrumptious treats joined beautiful tea things for The Delights of Afternoon Tea Served on a Tray.
 
  

  


On a stormy day I laid beautiful dishware that brings the warm days of summer to mind on an antique Irish linen cloth, embroidered and crocheted by hand in the early 1900's, for Tea and Chocolate on a Winter's Day.
 
  

  


A cozy tea was set with a plaid throw, chickadee plates and a vintage "TV lamp" in Tea and Cinnamon Toast.
 
  


In Tea with Birdsong, the whimsical tea set is a dreamy shade of light blue, with charming songbirds among the cherry tree branches.
 
 


I hope you've enjoyed this selection of ways to savor tea time. I encourage you to give it a try!

    1. Thank you, Jenna! I so enjoy indulging in a bit of tea time -- both the relaxation and giving myself the gift of beauty. The flowers for my latest tea post came from my garden. I've been blessed with an abundance of daffodils this year.

    1. Thanks, Barbara! I so enjoy the small ritual of having tea -- gives me time to stop and smell the roses (or daffodils in this case!). Have a happy St Patrick's Day!

    1. Thanks so much, Kim! I kept coming back to the pretty bird teapot and decided I could not leave the store without it! That's the delight of shopping in a physical store where you can stumble on something you didn't know you were looking for.
