'Cozy' is the word as Emilie offers tips for making friends feel welcome. From using extra teapots as vases to an artful table dressed in homemade quilts, the idea starters are both fanciful and practical. Recipes for sweet jam tea, Irish oatmeal scones, and mock-Devonshire cream will help novice and experienced hostesses present a delicious spread. Emilie's inviting prose, excerted from the popular The Twelve Teas of Friendship, and Susan Rios' rich illustrations conjure the clink of cup against saucer and the aroma of savory treats. Join Me for Tea is a gift book that will keep giving, as readers infuse their own friendships with love, laughter, and a spot of tea.
