What fun to participate in the Spring Tea Party Blog Hop again this year! Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home is hosting an organizing all the beauty and inspiration from 24 amazing bloggers! You can find the full line up with links at the bottom of my post so you won’t miss out on any of the tea parties.
If you are coming over from Bluesky at Home, welcome! Didn’t you love all the beautiful colors she used and that tea pot! So pretty! I’m glad you are now joining me here at White Arrows Home! I blog about life in our lakeside log cabin home in The Northwoods of Wisconsin.
Tea cups are one of my favorite things to collect! They are one of my 10 Vintage Items to Collect for Under $10! Some of my tea cups are in matching sets and some are mismatched. I love them all!
Reading Tea
I love to sit and drink coffee or tea while reading in a favorite chair! I also love to collect vintage books with beautiful covers and outdoor titles!
Tea For Two
One of my favorite things to do is to have tea or coffee with a friend. I try to do it at least once a week to catch up with a friend or get to know a new one.
These napkins were needlepointed by my grandmother. I feel so blessed to have had them passed down to me! I treasure family heirlooms!
I love collecting milk glass and McCoy Pottery and filling them with fresh or faux flowers. I also love cake stands.
I love this Lake View Cottage sign from my store.

One of the things I have started to do recently is drink tea at bedtime.

What a cozy collection of teacups. Your vintage books are so wonderful. I love the cheerful cover art.
Kristin, I love the thought of meeting a friend for tea to catch up. You’ve created a sweet, cozy and intimate setting. I’ve needlepointed for years, I’ve never thought of needlepoint napkins ~ great idea!
So fun to see the flowery teacups in your rustic cabin setting, Kristin. I’m loving your pottery vase collection; I can never get enough of those beauties! Have a wonderful Mom’s Day!
Kristin as always I love coming over and viewing your home and your talents. I love your little table and those napkins are so pretty. Love the details on them. A perfect spot for your tea party of two.
Love those blue vases and napkins from your grandmother. I wish more people would crochet and embroidery more (me included). Seems like now most people will be passing down a napkin collection from Homegoods. :0 Always love your rustic setting. Beautiful!
The styling for your tea parties is fabulous. I love the napkins from your grandmother and your vintage books are darling. That needlepoint pillow is gorgeous.
Hi Kristin, your home is so amazing, I love how you’ve combined feminine teacups and vases with your rustic cabin decor. I’m crazy about your wonderful old books and especially the plaid covered edition. Nothing like a good book and a cup of sleepytime tea at bedtime!
Kristen, I love your collection of tea cups and pretty vases! Happy to be joining you for the tea party tour this week! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
I adore your tea cup collection and the way you styled them in your lovely home! You definitely have a cozy looking spot to read too! Nice to join you in the blog hop!

Enjoying a good read and a cup of tea can be a real treat these days. You have the perfect spot to curl up and relax. Speaking of relaxing, I had to smile at your bedtime tea, it’s one of my favorites.
I always enjoy seeing how you style and enjoy your vintage finds, Kristen. The book covers that you shared are so interesting as was your tea cup collection and your grandmother’s napkins. I enjoyed every picture you shared in this post!
Love your pretty tea and setting, such an inviting spot. Those napkins are amazing, love them.
Kristin I love your tea set up and I love that jadeite cake plate! Always enjoy stopping by your blog for inspiration!!
You always have a fabulous collection of goodies, Kristin! I love all your different teacups and those napkins your Granny stitched are super cool. I think it’s fabulous you drink tea at bedtime. I always say I’m going to do that but then I get to folding clothes or cleaning up. I need to take a page from your book and start though, it looks so relaxing! Hugs and Happy Mother’s Day, CoCo
Thanks so much CoCo! I can get busy like that at night too. I tend to be a night owl, but I love the nights that I relax instead!
I love all your sweet teacups and vases.
Thanks so much Carol!
Gorgeous post Kristin! Oh I just love your McCoy Pottery with flowers and the whole little tea party table! The vintage napkins are a true treasure.
The lake view cottage sign is awesome too and just brings the whole vignette together. So springy!
Beautiful vintage teacups and books!
Thanks so much for joining the hop. Enjoy your tea time alone or with friends!
I love how you styled your tea party! Love all the vintage books too!
I so love your charming tea party for two to catch up with a friend! Your tea cup collection is gorgeous. The flowers in the blue vases really sets everything off.
Kristin,
Visiting your house is always a treat for me. I enjoy seeing your log house in the woods all during the year and love seeing your collection of vintage plaids, tins, and baskets. Those two green baskets bring images of a picnic in the woods with a blanket, a good book, and a thermos of hot tea.
Hope you get Spring in your neck of the woods soon!!!!

Better late than never! Here I finally am, and I saved one of the best for last!
I always enjoy a visit to White Arrows Home with all of your vintage accent pieces! I just got in from a trip to Joann’s and I know they aren’t vintage, but they have some really fun “lake life” accent pieces if you haven’t seen them yet this year. Now, your tea cups are so cute all stacked up and you are so right, about those being something you could collect for under $10! Those might be a fun thing for my granddaughters to collect as we visit vintage stores. I love the covers of those classic books. I have a couple of books that were my Mother’s when she was a child, what a treasure. It was a joy to hop with you again!
THanks Clhloe for the sweet comments!! I absolutely love the idea of your granddaughter’s starting a collection as you visit antique shops together!! My heart just melted. I just added Joann’s to my to do list!
