By the way, when we got married, we chose Spode “The Blue room” as our tea porcelain and really, really love it! It was transported over the water via airplane in several loads and those were the scariest flights I’ve ever had to endure ;-). Love, Kathrin Dear Lanier,
what a lovely post!

What a wonderful afternoon we had by the fire, sipping our tea, nibbling dates and almonds, and catching up on long-overdue conversations. We both made a pact that we would forego the 'sweets' but I must admit I couldn't resist some sugar and cream in my Jane Austen tea. I was having such a good time, I completely forgot to watch the clock and our 'tea' almost became dinner! Thank you for the lovely post - you are blessed to have such a special 'mama'...

My two children and I drink tea (sometimes they have hot chocolate) during our reading time every day in school and share what we're reading. It's one of my favorite times of our day. Here's a quote from "The Art of Taking Tea" by the editors of "Victoria" magazine. "The mere chink of cups and saucers turns the mind to happy repose." George Gissie I inherited a blue Hall teapot from my grandmother and hesitate to use it for fear of adding to the chip in the spout, but I think I'll break it out today!
