Mama’s Tea Time

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend.

I drink coffee every morning and occasionally tea in the afternoon.  I also love tea time.  Prior to having kids, I frequently meet up with my girl friends and sisters for tea time.  We love sitting down at a table set with delicate china and socializing over hot cups of tea and little cakes.  Now that I’m a busy mom I still enjoy tea time as a social occasion whenever my schedules permit me to.

A few years ago, when hubby and I were visiting my family, we stumbled upon this tea place in the foothills in L.A. while looking for a coffee shop (hubby is an avid espresso connoisseur).   While looking for a coffee shop on an empty stomach and hubby refusing to dine at Starbucks, we thought this tea place would be perfect for some snacks and tea.  After our first visit, we have been going back there ever since.  We also make an effort to visit this the place whenever we are in town.

    I love the detailing of the skirt — asymmetrical hem, lace details and the sheer/not sheer design. It looks lovely on you.

    I love tea time. I just did a post about having high tea at home. Drinking my earl grey tea out of a china cup and saucer. I love that time. Love your outfit. Gorgeous.

    “Wow” outfit! The skirt is beautiful and the pumps are SO PERFECT for spring!
    I love tea, too! I use my big coffee mug since I don’t own any dainty cups. lol.

      Thank you, Jeannie. I think as long as the tea tastes good it doesn’t matter what’s holding it :)

    What a lovely dress for afternoon tea! So many ways to style this skirt and you’ll love it forever! I start the day with coffee in any old mug, but usually tea in the tired afternoon, always in a special cup … I just like the feel of a china cup.
