A Pink Christmas Tea

I love this time of year!

Everywhere stores are decked out 

in their holiday finery ~

  Christmas trees all bright and shining filled with

tinsel garland and sparkling ornaments,

evergreen garlands draped across displays

and in storefront windows,

holiday songs playing softly in the background

make this time of year seem so magical...

I love going to the local mall

while I'm doing a little shopping 

of my own

seeing moms and dads and their 

barely~waiting children

with expectant faces and eyes shining

as they await their turn to visit with

that Jolly Old Elf...

After all that shopping

it's was nice to come home to 

a warm cup of tea or a mug of hot cocoa

and a little treat

as a little pick~me~up.

This day that treat was a yummy

cinnamon chip scone.

Usually I make my own but with our moving around

I hadn't found the time.

These I found at 

Whole Foods

and they are really delicious!

Even days later

they were still moist and chewy.

:)

It was fun taking a few pictures

to share with you!

As I played with the table setting and 

a few sweet ornaments plus 

this lovely snow white 

sugar bowl

{I've been on an ironstone kick lately!}

and that snow~frosted Christmas tree

I nibbled on my cinnamon scone

and sipped on my cup of tea...

Peonies are new to me

I guess I just had never seen them available 

in Southern California

or 

I wasn't in the right grocery store.

Here in Texas though peonies are available

at Whole Foods.

Are they available in your area yet, too?

They made this little tea party my kinda style ~

all pink perfection!

Nice to get back to my favorite color!

:)

Happy Friday Everyone!
