Sandy's Tea Society: Delighting in Friendships Steeped in Love

Everyone should own a copy of this little book--even if they don't drink tea! It is a pleasure to read. The short stories are uplifting and spiritual. The recipes for cakes, scones, and tea sandwiches are easy. I don't bake and found them quite easy. I specifically use simple and fast recipes like this for the classroom. You can use this book and its recipes for scones and cakes anywhere.

I love this book! Consider this a tea party idea book delivered in narrative form. In the beginning we meet Sandy, who invites a few of her closest friends to join her Tea Society and host a tea of their own. They each have very different personalities, which provides inspiration for their party themes. Each chapter is dedicated to a character's tea party and is chock filled with recipes, decorating and hostessing ideas, as well as insights into their personal lives. This is a book I will surely treasure and pass on as gifts for the holidays. It is beautifully written and illustrated, and oh so clever!Enjoy.

This book is a treasure trove for people who don't get "the tea thing". Beautiful artwork accompanies recipes and ideas for creating truly memorable teas. I gave a friend the book, which she read in a day, and called me to say "I want friends like this -- let's be friends like this!"

As an avid tea party lover, I can't say enough about this book. What a treasure indeed. I love the way she tells the story of each character and how she incorporates their personalities into themes for each tea party. The ideas are lovely and I have already used some of the ideas not only for teas, but to give as special gifts to friends. I could not put this book down until I finished it. I will re-read it several times. It is lovely to look at and the story is so charming. Wonderful recipes are a bonus. If you love tea and sharing special moments with friends, this book is for you! I am buying this book for all of my special tea friends!

This is a delightful book full of ideas for wonderful teas to have with friends -- old and new. It's the story of someone bringing together women who don't know each other, but forge a bond through the sharing of tea. It has BEAUTIFUL illustrations and DELICIOUS receipes along with INTERESTING new ideas for sharing tea with friends. A MUST for anyone's tea library!
