Sometimes it is nice to have tea for one. A hot pot of tea, some treats and a few good books.
This tea for one set was a gift from my friend Julee - it had belonged to her best friend and now Julee wanted me to have it. It reminds me of friendship and happiness.
The tray is hammered aluminum - the handles are especially pretty with dogwood flowers.
Some lemon loaf and a few sweets left from Valentine's Day
Or how about some oatmeal/raisin cookies - fresh out of the oven?
Shall we have tea in the drawing room? In the conservatory? In the garden? By the fireplace? Tea on a tray can be anywhere.

Cut me off a slab of that lemon loaf!
I love those beautiful old books...would just love to hold one and look at it up close. I'm glad we are friends...wish I could come by for tea! Enjoy your day sweet lady. LOVE your new banner! HUGS!!!
That is the sweetest little tea pot for one. Wish I could join you.
Good for you as you spoil yourself with a lovely setting for tea. We need to do that more often.
Hello, what a pretty tea set and a lovely gift from your friend. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
Dear Jo Anne;
You may bring that to my room please! What a darling tray vignette a sweet invite to tea! Loved it and so glad you shared.
That is a very pretty tray and yes, tea on a tray can be anywhere! The tea-for-one set is really pretty. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day, JoAnn.
Blessings,
Sandi
What a lovely tea tray. The tea for one set gifted to you is very pretty!
Who could pass up an oatmeal/raisin cookie? I have been thinking of you because Sunday a friend brought me a darling one-cup teapot. Well, Yesterday I shared tea with her but had to use my old pot because it was tea for two.
JoAnn, what a wonderful collection of treasures. The way that you grouped them together is lovely. Thanks for sharing at Tuesday's Treasures and I hope the you return real soon.
Lovely and creative photo. It reminds me to take a deep breath and enjoy a quiet moment.
This is fantastic! What a great way to relax. I never saw a tea set for one before. It is beautiful. Great vintage books on the lovely tray. I hope you enjoyed your tea time.
I enjoy a cup of tea with a good book almost every day. Yours is a lovely set. How nice a gift you received.
I'll have the lemon loaf, a favourite of mine.
That little teapot for one is so precious. I have never seen one like it. And your lemon cake looks yummy. BUT...by eye went immediately to the books. I adore the old books and have a number of them. Saying Tea for One makes me hum In my head Doris Day singing Tea for Two.
Love your tea on a tray! Those dogwood handles are beautiful!
I love it! Pretty tea for one!
Charming. I do love the vintage books too. Your tray is so inviting.
Very sweet! I know the feeling of using something special and being reminded of the wonderful person who owned it before. Julee is a great friend to you - one you'll never forget!
