My contribution for this Tablescape Thrusday is a Tea for Three. Two friends of mine came so we could just hang out and sing Karaoke. And when we do that, we like to drink tea and munch on something. I like to use a teapot with a warmer cause we continuously drink hot tea during the session. Somehow, we think it opens up our vocal chords, lol. For a lot of creative tablescapes, please visit our gracious host, Susan of

We do this in our family room, which is the most informal place in the house. With leather furniture, it is meant to be comfortable and worry free. It is also the most funky one combining safari and tribal decor.
This is very informal so I just used paper napkins. Do you like the painting on the wall? I painted that by myself.
I got this pewter tea set and the tray from Ebay a long time ago, when I still lived in Florida. It was made in Holland and I like it very much. In fact, I like it so much that I searched for more and I found a set that I gave to my daughter and another I gave to my friend, Nit. They are very similar except I could not find the same kind of tray. Too bad cause I really like the pierced scroll design. Mine also included a coffee pot not shown here.
I hope you enjoyed my small participation on TT. Thanks for coming and thanks Susan, for hosting it.

Christine-You should have included a video of the karaoke session! This sounds like a fun afternoon. I agree with you--the tray is the prettiest part of the tea set!!!
I love that tray Christine and the pewter tea set. Happy New Year. --Delores
Hi Christine! How much fun! And I love the tea set and tray! Happy New Year!...hugs...Debbie
Hey Christine,
Glad you are feeling better...it is no fun being sick, especially during the holidays.
I have had such fun catching up with you and all of the beautiful posts I had missed. I love the make-over you did in the yellow room...I love that toile! It all looks so pretty and so does your tree and tablescapes.
I really enjoyed seeing more of your travel aboard the cruise ship and your church is beautiful!
I hope you and your family have a Very Happy New Year!
Big Hugs,
Queenie
P.S. I gave suesuesays your email, she said that she will be in touch with you. I don't know if I told you that or not....she was so glad to hear that you wanted to get in touch with her.
This looks like a fun gathering -- I love pewter too -- have a wonderful New Year's!
Neat table. I really like the pewter...it's so pretty. I like the polka dots and monogrammed napkins. Neat!
Thanks for sharing and happy new year!
A very welcoming tea setting! I love it. Very elegant!
Happy New Year!

Christine, hope you and your friends enjoyed your afternoon. The tea setting is perfect with the wonderful pewter set. I agree, the tray is special.
Happy New Year and hugs to you! ~ Sarah
beautiful pics! happy new years~
Wow, you've got one photographically rich blog here--and you're a painter too.
About those books on early Natchez and its environs. I bought them at Jefferson College many years ago, and have long since passed them on--to my present regret. When I moved to Oregon, I figured I was putting Mississippi behind me, but 23 years later, and it's still with me.
Here's an interesting article about Jefferson College with a website link to it at the bottom.

What a pretty Tea setting and the gathering sounds like such a fun time. What a thrill to have seen so many of your wonderful posts this past year and I really look forward to more in the coming year. Such a pleasure to have gotten to know you and to call you friend. I hope you and all your family have a very Blessed and Happy New Year. Hugs, Marty
Love your tray, making me want breakfast... I also like the new look of your blog, enjoyed the photos. Thanks for visiting.
Your tea tablescape is wonderful! Shows that dressing up a simple "snack" can make it all the more special. That pewter tea set is gorgeous - never seen a pewter one before. I really like the tray you used for the paper napkins too. Your painting is very nice and must add special meaning to the room.
Happy 2010!

Christine, I adore your pewter teaset and tray.. I've been on the hunt for some since October. Haven't run across any. Your painting is great my friend...
Happy New Year to you and John, hugs ~lynne~

Happy New Year!

Praying your 2010 brings many more wonderful memories!

Beautiful. Your painting is awesome. You're quite talented. You sure know how to make paper napkins look impressive. You have such a treasure filled home. I look forward to seeing many more posts in 2010. Rosie
Are those cream puffs I see? I would sing for cream puffs. Actually you would feed me cream puffs to fill my mouth so I couldn't sing. That works for both of us.
Happy New Year.
Oh! Christine! Lovely setting and how fun!
Happy New Year or in Hawaiian:
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! (sounds like "How..oh-lee...Mah-kah...hee-kee...Ho!" ...your Hawaiian pronunciation lesson for the day :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
What a beautiful setting.
I love your tea service and the setting is perfect. Your painting is beautiful...I should have known you were an artist just by the way you set your tables!
Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year!
Lovely Christine! I'm in the mood for a cuppa now! :0)
A very Happy New Year to you and yours!!
Looks like lots of fun!
