Have a Tea Party

Sometimes on the Holidays we can get carried away with doing only big things. Giving big parties are fine but it is also possible to have a small party. There is nothing wrong with doing something small and intimate. I like tea parties because I can bake cookies and make small sandwiches. I can get together with the girls without having to provide liquor. I don't drink anyway so a cocktail party for me would be a major expense. A tea party is just about my speed. I have been collecting pretty little tea cups at yard sales. If I am short I usually have paper cups as a backup but it's not the same. I prefer to set a mismatched table of teacups with mismatched plates. I think it adds a certain charm.
