I recently enjoyed having tea and a delicious meal with members of a favorite book club who have become friends.
Sharing teatime with these gracious, generous ladies has become something of an annual tradition and I was pleased to share this lovely experience with sister-author Erica Vetsch.
Tasty food, rich Earl Grey tea, sweet fellowship, and book chat in a beautiful setting. I’d call that a recipe for an ideal afternoon, wouldn’t you? I think the following pretty card with its quote from Jane Austen’s Emma sums it up well:
When was the last time you shared tea with a friend or friends? Do you belong to a book club? Please tell us in the comments. Either way, thanks for stopping by today!

Last fall a group of my friends and I put on a tea bridal shower for one of our kids. The groom’s grandparents were from England so that was behind the theme, but we had been wanting to do this for a while. It was fun, beautiful, and delicious, but the best part was doing this together to honor a lovely couple!
I belong to a book club in my neighborhood. It’s been nice to get to know some women who live near me. Some of the book choices have been . . . interesting. 😂
Lovely group of ladies!
It’s been a while since I’ve had tea with a group of friends. Time to plan one!
