Team Oolong
TT Blog Tea Party Today and a Tea Party in a Box!
The TT Blog Tea Party is happening NOW!
Welcome! Put your kettle on and pour a cup and please
say hello in our comments so we can raise our teacup to welcome you.
It’s not possible to
invite all of you to come to my home, so the TT Blog Tea Party is a way for all
of us to share a day to put the kettle on and enjoy a cup or two of tea and
stop to think of tea friends and raise our cup to them…..
I will always remember the first phone call I received after
joining ATAA. It was from Eve to welcome
me and a suggestion to have a long distance tea party while we chatted. We each put the kettle on and steeped a pot
of tea and talked and talked. Since
then, many pots/cups of tea have been shared while chatting in person, via
phone, email or snail mail with many members that have become friends through
the years. It is just natural to put
the kettle on when calling or writing or emailing these friends now.
So it seemed a grand way to welcome “The Tardis” by
celebrating long distance tea parties with friends. But instead of phone calls this time, the
Tardis made deliveries to England, France, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, Minnesota,
Arizona, Wisconsin, Texas, Kansas, Washington, Oregon and several parts of
California to drop off packages so you all can join the doctor and his new
companion (me) for a welcoming tea party.
Denise in England shared about a tea party in a box on her
blog. Andrea in France sent me a
wonderful tea party in a box with the last TT. Marilyn
in Portland blogged about a tiny tea party in a box. All of these friends left me wanting to send a “Tea Party in a Box” to tea
friends. This seemed the perfect time to
send one to friends I’ve become more closely acquainted with through tea.
It is to celebrate the Tardis and Dr. Who with some of his favorite treats imported from England-- Jammie Dodgers and Jelly Babies.
4th Doctor Quote: ‘Would you like a
jelly baby?”
The tea is one of the
Tardis blends from Adagio Teas. The
English bone china tea mug is a
favorite, a gift from Linda.
Our kettle will be bubbling all day long so that the blog
party can be enjoyed in every time zone.
You are invited to put your kettle on and join us anytime or many times
today.
I’ll be wearing the beautiful cobalt blue color of the
Tardis with this vintage Alice Lund
signed necklace from Denmark from one of my favorite time periods….the mid-century modernist years.
Thank you so much for joining in our TT Blog Tea Party!
I loved sending these little tea parties in a box to
friends. I hope it will inspire you to
think about making your own to share with someone special.
Cheers and Happy Sipping!
