Looking for tips on how to host a tea party? Tea party’s can be simple or elaborate. Here are Three Tips for a Simple Tea Party!

The teacup.

The Traveling Teacup arrived at my home! Coffee or tea, it’s always a toss up for me, Sweet Friends. What is your preferred morning beverage? If you’re not following along on the Traveling Teacup Journey, you can start by reading my Sweet Friend Barbara’s post, “The Exciting Beginnings of the Traveling Teacup.”

Three Tips for a Simple Tea Party!

You might be wondering what is the traveling teacup? My Sweet friend Barbara gathered a few friends to participate and the teacup is traveling to each of our homes. Do you love sharing tea with friends? My sweet friend Barbara has a likeness to sharing tea with friends. Since many of her friends are far away, she decided to send a teacup on a journey.

Last week the teacup arrived coming from a Farm in Oregon. I was the second stop on the Traveling Teacups journey. I created an unboxing video, “Watch Me Wednesday, Episode #5 and the Traveling Teacup!” I hope you enjoy the video.

When I saw the opportunity to join the teacup party, I knew I wanted in. I’m not a BIG tea drinker, but I do enjoy drinking tea and reminiscing about old and new friends. So that is exactly what I did when the Traveling Teacup arrived.

Don’t forget to get caught up on stop #1 at Martha’s farm here. Tea with cows, why not? Martha took some beautiful photos of the tea cup on her farm. You really don’t want to miss that picture of her cows trying to get a taste of her tea. It’s so cute.

Tea party’s are so much fun, whether you’re enjoying tea with friends near or far. For this tea party, it was just me and my pups. Oreo and Sofy hanging out whilst I enjoyed my cup of tea over a journal. It was such the perfect opportunity to reminisce over friends new and old.

Although I usually start my morning with a cup of coffee and a journal, writing in my morning pages, today was different. I decided to sit at my old sewing cabinet turned desk, with pups in tow, and enjoy a cup of tea. My journal pages became filled with thoughts of friends old and friends new.

You’re probably thinking, a tea party with pups? WHHHHAAAATTTT? I remember when I was a little girl, setting all of my dolls around the table and having a tea party. I guess this morning was no different.

Tea Parties are really simple. Of course, they can be elaborate if that’s what you choose, but I prefer simple. So, here are my Three Tips for the Perfect Tea Party!

Three Tips for the Perfect Tea Party!

Tip #1

The perfect tea party needs pretty tea cups!

Three Tips for a Simple Tea Party!

Tea party’s are so simple yet so much fun! Just remember that the time you spend with your tea is what’s important. Whether you are enjoying your tea with dolls, pups, cows or humans, savor the time.

I hope I’ve inspired you to take a moment and reminisce about your friend old and friends new. Tea parties are so perfect for that.

I’m so baffled by the internet these days and how it has allowed me to meet so many new friends. It’s truly amazing the friendships I have created with people I have never seen in person. Of course, I see them virtually, but it’s really not the same.

    What a fun idea! I have some tea drinking friends who recently moved about 10 hours away. This would be a fun way to stay caught up and swap little gifts. Thanks for sharing!
