Having a little tea under the Christmas tree while decorating this week.
Aren't these pretty chintz tea cups. They are by Grace China.
I found a recipe in my vintage cookbooks for a French Sand Cookie. They are simple and delicious. They also freeze well, so you could make them this week and pull them out at Christmas to decorate. I'll talk more about that and share the recipe tomorrow.
Wishing you a fabulous week!

Hello Sherry,
ReplyDeleteYour tea under the tree is lovely! I am starting my Christmas decorating Friday, and I hope to get our tree then.
There is something magical about late night tea with the tree lit and a fire in the fireplace : )
Gracie china is very pretty! They make some really lovely chintz patterns over the years.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Terri
