ARPinterest by Susan Tanner Tea parties


I love tea parties. It started when I was young. My mom would take out the teapot and put whatever herbal tea that was fragrant and semi-sweet and we would put out all the cups, saucers, napkins, little spoons (a must), and sugar or honey. It was such a fun time of               also a tea person - black tea with milk and sugar for her. So, I started it with my daughter. We would pull out my tea set in my china and we had extravagant parties. My mother loved to have them when she came to visit us in SC. Now my daughter is 21, working lots and too busy for tea parties but she remembers all our teas. And winning a tea set at a tea party we went to at a tea house. I don’t have grands yet to keep the tradition going but I do how-

Sometimes we do warm apple juice. Honey is a very important part of the tea and sometimes we have a little something to go along with the tea like fruit or cookies. The children love this tradition and often whisper to me at church, “Can we come over today and have a tea party?”


I love that tea parties were offered to me when I was young and that my tea party traditions have continued through the ages. I hope that my little friends will continue them on with          when we work together to make it happen and it leaves us around the table talking, laughing, and sipping tea.
