Hello, welcome to Marcia’s cottage. Shall we have a cup of tea? I am enjoying an organic Christmas Tea. It tastes heavenly. ~♡~ I’ve been thinking about bliss lately and what brings bliss into my life.

A Christmas Tea…♡
Hello,welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. I’m so glad you stopped by. For many years I hosted a Christmas Tea on the first Saturday of December. I had so much fun planning the menu, baking scones and decorating my little cottage. ~♡~ I would find just the perfect invitation to send to my guests. Each year I had a theme .. One year the theme was “A Cup of Christmas Tea”. We would read from this very sweet book about an elderly women who looked forward to having a few special visits from her family during the holidays. Decorating the tables is always so special. It takes time to make everything perfect. ♡ I’m looking forward to a Christmas Tea and enjoying the warmth of friendship. Have you ever attended a Christmas Tea? I hope so, because they are so tea-lightful. I hope you had a nice visit today. Have a lovely … Continue reading
