For many years, my wife has hosted an annual Christmas Tea. The food, friendship, and fellowship is amazing and is one of the things that really helps the ladies who come (and my wife) feel like Christmastime has arrived.
With all of the food (she does it more or less like a “high tea,” she has thermal servers of two different types of tea, coffee, and wassail, all in thermal servers, most of which are holiday themed, but they don’t have anything on them to specify what is IN them.
Always looking for things to use my ‘Forge for I asked if she wanted menu tags for this year’s tea. She originally declined, then remembered that everyone always asks what beverages are in each of the thermal servers. Since she typically has the same hot beverages each year, we decided to try something a little more permanent: Tile!
I’ve included a mosaic snapshot of all 4 tiles, but the photos didn’t turn out quite as nice as they are in real life (at least on my iPhone).
Drooling here - which is not very lady like - so I’ll stop and admire it instead. Still wishing I was there! Its so obvious a great deal of effort and tradition went into this.
…And my wife’s party present to me was a photo blanket of a picture od the two of us from one of her Christmas Teas several years ago with a digital “paint filter” applied.
Yep. That is classy. I can tell because I don’t see any Ozark Shrimp* on the table.
Nice setup. The church ladies had an Advent by Candlelight evening earlier this week. 60 ladies gathered around the most decorated tables. Except it was all dessert.
The size is perfect. As I was looking for them , I was struck by all of the possibilities with other mosiac tiles, especially the small ones - they would be great for game pieces, prize tokens, etc. all an at incredibly low price per piece.
Its so obvious a great deal of effort and tradition went into this.
