Favorite Things.....

After a long day of shopping or an outing with my babies, I just curl up on my chaise and (usually with my laptop/favorite fashion magazine nearby) and indulge in a "spot of tea".

There's nothing more ladylike than a tea set. Next to shopping and writing, Tea is one of my favorite past times. At the boutique, I serve my customers tea and scones throughout the year. They are often amazed that their "treats" are placed on dessert plates and their tea is being delivered via an authentic Tea Set, (I can't imagine tea in a paper cup........).

My 6 year old daughter and I enjoy tea in her "porcelain heirloom" set courtesy of Barbie or we visit The Carlyle Hotel or The American Girl Cafe in New York City for Afternoon Tea. These are some of our most memorable mother-daughter moments.....

Here are a few of my favorite Tea Sets for this holiday season.......

Princess Tea Set by Mud Pie, your little princess can serve tea for two in style with this sweet pink princess tea set. Darling Christmas gift set up under the tree on Christmas morning.
7-pieces including tea pot and lid adorned with pink wire ribbon, cups, saucers, and serving plate. $36.00, The Ever After Store. I would love to surprise my daughter with this for Christmas, but believe it or not she loves to read Tres Chic Style......

Who ever said luxury was cheap....A hand painted tea set with the traditional blue dutch windmill design. $278, All Teapots

I fell in love with this tea set I found on a Craft Blog. I Can't seem to find it anywhere...
