Tea Party for One

 

I've been pretty obsessed with all things tea since I was just a girl.  My mom drank her tea like I do now, sweet with added cream.  I can also appreciate a nice herbal tea, a spicy chai or a strong black tea too.  There are not too many teas that I do not like! 

It has been building in my mind how I want to start doing a "fancy" tea for myself.  Not just sip a chai latte as I work in my fuzzy robe.  But actually, have a tablecloth meant for my teas.  Mismatched antique cups and saucers or new ones that mean something to me.  A cream and sugar set with a special spoon.  

This perfectly fits in with my goal of adding in more self-care to my life.  You can read more about this HERE. 

My daughter and I went out to the thrift store yesterday.  I was able to find two pretty cups and one saucer.  It's a start!  My daughter also bought me a floral cream and sugar set for Christmas, and I got a tea cozy as well.  My tablecloth is on its way!  I have a drawer full of tea. (I see from the picture above I now "need" some doilies!!) 

They have some beautiful sets of mismatched teacups and saucers on Etsy.  They are a little steep for my wallet, so I will build up my treasures from visiting thrift stores! But I am tempted!  Look at these pretties: 

I will be hosting a tea party for one in the next few days to go along with the current Bible Study that I am writing.  Every month I will have a tea with the theme of the Woman of the Bible that I will be writing about/studying.  

In case you are like me and are just a bit "extra" - here are some adorable tea party for one tags for instant download on Etsy. 

Here are a couple that you can print for free!

So, stay tuned!  I hope you will join in and have a solo cup of tea along with me! Next time we will make some tea bag envelopes! 

PLEASE leave a comment and let me know what your favorite tea is!!  Do you use a mug? A China cup? An insulated tumbler?  Something else?  Do you ever take time to make your teatime 'fancy'??  

Have a very blessed day!
