Christmas time tea

Monday all ready, time is going fast, a week today and it's Christmas eve, and I'm not ready yet. Very unusual for me, but Iam at such a loss on what to get for gifts for family. But will finish it up tomorrow, hopefully.
Having tea besdie our Christmas tree today, a friend brought us a Friendship loaf -as neighbours and friends do when their is a death in the family.  Come in and join me for tea, it will be a quiet one as I now have laryngitis and can't talk, but your company will be enjoyed.
I have shown this teapot before, and the name has slipped me now. Notice the back ground Marilyn is going to join us, one thing about her, she is as quiet as I am...

This is a Christmas tray I painted about 22 years ago, gee I'm getting old

 these are two new cups n saucers I got a couple of weeks ago at auction. I have such a love for Black tea cups, although I do love the yellow one too.

                           the black one is so pretty, with a rusty colour on it, it is Heritage

and the soft yellow one is Tapestry, it'sof the antique series. So so pretty

an Enamel Christmas ornament that I had got at Bronners in Michigan, probably

as long ago as the tray.

at the tea cups handle is a ferris wheel ornament from Disney World

that sings it's a small world, reminds me of Newtown Connecticut,
although everything reminds you doesn't it. Such a horror...

the tea we are drinking is Black Chai, and a slice of the Friendship Loaf

these plates have no markings, and very fragile, also have had them for

longer than the other items -maybe 30-35 years
