Witches Tea Party ~ 2015






Come on in

the party is about to begin.





Members of the Black Hat Society 

have been seen arriving at various parties.

Many with black cats frocking along!





And, yes, of course!

All dogs are welcome to join the fun.





Vanessa @ A Fanciful Twist

is hosting her annual

Witches Tea Party!

Thank you, Miss Vanessa!





Cleo and some of the "girls" here at

Hyacinths for the Soul

have prepared a simple tea tray

in hopes you will join them.





Nothing too fancy!

Miss Tilly made some sweet treats,

and Greta brewed a fresh pot of her favorite tea.





Of course the

 black and white theme

was totally the girls' idea.






They flew straight to the cupboard for their

favorite Courtly Check tea service.





Like I said,

nothing too fancy.






But they do love the beautiful

brass and carved cinnabar finial on top.





The "girls" chose to use our

best black plaid china.





Care for milk and sugar with your tea?

One lump or two?





French Macaroons are Miss Tilly's speciality.

Lemon ~ Passion Fruit ~ Salted Caramel ~ Chocolate

Yum and Double Yum!





And what's a tea party 

without a sprinkling of candy corn?





Grab your broom and 


to wisk yourself over to all the other 

Witches Tea Parties.

Thanks for stopping by!

 Happy Halloween!

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    I love how the Courtly Check lends itself to so many themes. It is perfect for a witch's tea and perfect for so many other celebrations. I look at it every time I go into Chintz and Co and am sooooo tempted - but then I think about my bulging China cabinet......
    Best to enjoy it on your posts!

    Sarah, I think your party is fantastic! Courtly Check is perfect for a Witches' Tea Party, don't you think? I would love TWO macarons, please! And I'd like some tea with milk and sugar. BTW did you get that adorable tray at Target? I do love it with the Courtly Check!

    Happy Witches' Tea!

    Fabulous spooky yet elegant post dear Sarah! I'm late with Halloween decor as we've only been back a week and there's so much 'normal' stuff to do - however I'm actually doing a little outside this lovely afternoon involving pumpkins and such!
    Normandy was awesome and I'll be posting on more locations we visited soon.

    Hugs - Mary

    It might be a small tea party, but it was cozy. Macarons always make it special, and the black and white theme was perfect of course. I'm not currently updating my blog, so I'm not on Vanessa's party list, but I did have a witches tea party this year and you are welcome to view all the fun here - https://www.facebook.com/laume/media_set?set=a.10207619279909642.1520411761&type=3
