Christmas Teascape!

First , let me explain the music you are hearing. I am of polish dsecent with my paternal grandparent's coming over from Poland. I grew up with my parents, aunts and uncles singing Polish Christmas Carols during the Holiday season and hearing them in church. The song playing is one that I remember my Dad singing with all of his heart and I was lucky enough to find it on Playlist so I wanted to share a bit of my childhood with you!

And now I would like you to cast a vote for me...please click HERE to read..

For Tea Tuesday in Blogland, I finally got a chance to do a Christmas Teascape using a set of dishes that I bought at our Church Flea Market in the Spring. There was only a place setting for 2 but I loved the look of them as they reminded me of the Era of Charles Dicken's and I thought they would be cute to use for the Holidays.

Since I bought them, I have seen them in many others posts and in various colors also.

Here is my Christmas Teascape!


It is just a simple one as I am not that great at tablescapes nor can I keep my Dining Room table set as we eat on it every day.


I bought the dishes at our church flea market in the Spring as I mentioned . In the summer, at a yard sale, I found the matching Tea Pot for $2.00.


Did I mention that all the dishes were 25 cents each!


This is a stunning card made by my sweet friend Ginger! Please check out her wonderful blog @ GLITTER AND ROSES


I used a few pieces of my Ruby Red depression glass and my red transferware....

These are cookies made by my dear friend, Ann Marie , who is the best baker I know!


I think they are just too pretty to eat!


The red silverware was bought on clearance at a local Super Market after the summer holidays....
Vintage napkins....


I love the different patterns on each plate....


Very Charles Dicken's like I think....


Love the pattern on the Tea Pot....


And here are the tea cup and saucer...



The "cakes" are ornaments from J.C. Penney's this year....

These cup cake candles ( the candle is inside ) are from Kohl's this year...







Love this card from a good friend, Maryann..


Had to take these pics quickly as the candy from the dish was disappearing fast......


Well, that is my Christmas Teascape!
