Tea and Roses By The Fire

I'm joining the White Christmas Event over at Cuisine Kathleen,
come see all the holiday pretties!
and White Wednesday over at Faded Charm
Show and Tell at Blue Cricket Design

December can be a very good month for my rose garden here in Northern California and this year has been exceptional.  Perfect for holiday tables or tea by the fire.





































Have a very Merry Christmas!
Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon!

  2. Oooooooh my, that hit me off my socks! Candy, this is so outstanding, no words can describe my delight. Whoooow. The tablecloth is so sweet, I have never seen a sweeter one. And the whole table is full of surprise, beauty and wonderful things. The china is so delicate, the crochet napkins are darling, the goodies and treats look yummy and the tart lifter is just gorgeous. This is really a table for a big event. And your roses are to die for.
    Greetings, Johanna

  13. I had to come back a second time to see your setting. It is just wonderful.

    Would you mind letting me know where you purchased the pretty cloth? If you tell me you MADE it, I am going to pitch a hissy fit.

  16. Good Morning ladies!

    I NEED a cup of tea NOW! Slept in this morning and am now feeling like I need a stop by the fireplace.

    I got my ruffled cloth last Spring ..... terribly expensive, but this was a project that would never be finished if I had attempted to recreate it on my own. LOL

    For those of you who have asked, do a Google search for "Pom Pom Ruffled tablecloth". I got mine at http://www.couturedreams.com/products/Pom-Pom-at-Home-Audrey-Tablecloth.html

    They may be cheaper other places now, Couture Dreams offered free shipping, but otherwise they were pretty much all equally priced back then.

    Thank you all for your sweet comments!

  19. Wow love that tablecloth so much. I have to have one. Those roses are to die for. I can't grow roses to save my life but love them so much. You have such pretty colored versions.
    Everything on that table is just lovely and inspiring. Happy Holidays,

  20. What a beautiful setting to enjoy your tea party. Using the different pieces of china, the glass hard candy, the vintage napkins and that gorgeous tablecoth really make this tea party an event :) I am so jealous of roses in December and such gorgeous at that.

    Wonderful post - a pleasure to visit for my first time through Kathleen's party.
