Tea Book Respite

Time for tea book respite.

After a morning doctor visit and labs. This afternoon was time to rest, read and enjoy a nice warm teapot of tea. Oh what comfort my tea mug filled the luxurious Harney and Sons Paris offers me.  A fruity black tea with vanilla, caramel, bergamot.

 Prissy liked the chapter on The Queen's Tea.

Then we enjoyed fabulous chocolates. Prissy was feeling like royalty.

I recently bought this book to give away, but after flipping through it I decided to give it a read. I have only started to read it.  I'd marked the page with a cute teapot stamped bookmark a tea friend tucked into a thinking of you card.  It is the thoughtfulness and an act of kindness I often see with tea friends. A kindred spirit, a sisterhood. Now, if the world traveler teapot, Miss Prissy were to write a book about comfort or let's say a guide for life, I'd bet very first, on the tippy-top of her list would be: 1.) Drink Tea

~beautiful thoughts, ideas and artwork about tea & friendship~

~children's tea party~

Reminiscing  about how many times I'd checked out the library copy of this book when I was first learning about hosting teas, tea parties and all the lovely trimmings.

~Sigh... now, if you miss the old Victoria magazines.....sighing~

The Great Tearooms of America. I  was lucky to visit with Bruce Richardson and have him sign my  copy.  Also, over the years I have asked  tearoom owners to sign on the chapters featuring their shops. This books is full of memories.   

Paperbooks to grab & go. I like to leave them behind in waiting rooms, once I'm finished reading them. The senior centers also welcome book donations.

Love this book and it's title...don't you?
