First of all is Show and Tell at Kelli's. The first thing I have to show is in honor of Kathy at Mimi's Garden. I know right now she is loving this little tree. Who knows Kat...she may come to visit you sometime!!
My friend Candy and I went to Carefree Arizona and had tea for Christmas.
Everything on the table is mismatched...I just love it!
The garland around the room had these huge silver butterflies in it.I fell in love with these mini clip on birds....
And these little crystal ornaments.
Each table had a little white tree with ornaments. They were full at one time, but everyone keeps buying the ornaments off the tree??? Now, who would do that?
Here is the precious menu.
High tea....yep, it was good!
Oh...did I mention that I bought the bird and the crystal for my feather tree!!!

I cannot believe it is the weekend before Christmas! I know everyone is busy and it is hard to blog and read blogs, but I am trying my best! You know me, I don't want to miss a thing! (if I can help it!)

It looks like you had a lovely time going for TEA!
Thanks for participating in the Swap and posting about it today! We'll have to do it again!

I must get back out to that little tea room. I've never eaten there but plan to some time. I love to shop there. Thanks for the reminder. Have you been to Gooseberry's for tea? It's in Phoenix. I haven't been there in a long time, but it's a neat little place.
Christmas hugs,
Charlotte
It would be fun to meet at Gooseberries some time. I haven't been there in years either.

Everything at 'tea' looks lovely:) Think I would have to have a little birdy too:)

Ceekay...I love to go to tea. What fun! I used to live in Phoenix and would go out to The Spicery in Glendale and Gooseberries in north Phoenix. Were you at the English Rose Tea Room? I've wanted to go there. Next time I'm in Arizona..we'll have to meet Char72 at Gooseberries! Have a Merry Christmas! Connie

Everything looks pretty! What beautiful ornaments and decorations you have. What a nice idea to go to TEA! I love the pictures, thanks for sharing...felt like I was there drinking a cup of tea with you!
I wish I could have joined you two at high tea. Looks wonderful! Love the bird you bought. I thought you were going to say they let everyone take an ornament home. That would have been nice???

It looks like you had a wonderful time with your tea. Such fun! I wish I could get my daughter to do something like this with me. We have a lovely tea room not far from where we live. Maybe if I show her your post she would be willing :). I love the ornaments and the decorations. You picked good :). Now, I want to see them on your feather tree :). Thanks for the post.

What a lovely time! I love the miniature clip on birds. I have birds on my tree like my Gramma had on hers but I would love some for my miniature tree. Jean

Thanks for visiting me!! What fun that must have been at the tea room with your friend! I've been reading over your blog (I'll go back when I have more time) and I see some of the vintage ornaments like I have from my mom...they are priceless to me! The nativity from the Dollar Tree looks just like Precious Moments. I haven't seen that one here. I plan to come back when I have time and read some of your older post.
I love the little pink tree....wherever did you find it???
It looks like you had a wonderful tea time...it is so important to take those special times to nurture ourselves, especially during busy times!
Merry Christmas!
