~Tea for One ~

Tea for two is always special

Tea for three or four is a party

From: Southern Lady Gracious Tables by Phyllis Hoffman


but why not treat yourself as nice
as a favored guest?





I pulled out my sweet little teapot for one and
 matching cup and saucer






Look at this cute little guy with his hands on his hips..



A couple of my favorite cookies on the side



(A COUPLE? ........who the heck am I kidding?)

these two little cookies just look too forlorn....better invite some company


Don't forget the pretty linens. 
I'm always a sucker for anything monogrammed.
Even if it's not my initials.



and Voila' it's a party for one.





Sip slowly and enjoy



I take a moment to sit back and dream

and what am I dreaming about, you ask?








why SPRING of course.

~Winter Scenes ~


I went walking in a Winter Wonderland


Wrapped up in my favorite velvet coat



I love traveling through the fresh fallen snow in my beautiful sleigh.






Then I woke up
and realized I was NOT Anna Karenina


and the only fur I had; 
was on my fuzzy slippers.


Oh well, says I
Life is still good.

As I snuggle close to the roaring fire 
that Mr. Wonderful prepared


To warm us on this snowy, icy, January day





And as I sit with with my hands wrapped around a steaming mug
of Ghirardelli Cocoa






I realize there is no place I'd rather be than here
snug as a bug
in my little
 Dressed Up Cottage



Take that
Anna Karenina
