My Favorite Tea Books

I'm so excited about sharing with you ONE of my true loves. As you will be see in the weeks to come.  I have several true loves.  But I do LOVE books about tea.
Entertaining with a Tea Party
Tea Rooms across the United States
Taking Tea Around the World
Ms. Lynn's Tea with recipes and how to create our own special moments.
MYSTERIES ABOUT A TEA SHOP
Laura Childs has written several Tea Shop Mysteries.  I have read 9 total.
I love the recipes included at the end of the book.  In fact I have enjoyed some of the recipes and they are now family favorites.
And
My all time favorite TEA TIME. I have been a subscriber for years.  What a treasure.      
 Sooooo..... Here they are

I love to sit in the patio and read my tea books


It 's so relaxing to sit and read while having a  great cup of tea. I was thrilled the other day when I found this cup, saucer and dessert plate at the antique mall.  I loved them so much I bought four cups, saucers and dessert plates for $38.00. What a deal? (I hope).  The pattern is 'Sylvia' and the china is Thomas Ivory Bavaria Germany.  The manufacturer is unknown.

The detail in the cup is beautiful and it's translucent.


I just could not resist putting some of my dainty roses into the cup.  And, of course the two little blue birds looking cute.

Thanks for visiting today.
