Velvet Teacup Society – A Cozy Virtual Teaparty in Pajamas
🫖 You are invited to join the Velvet Teacup Society
Where whimsy, warmth, and a little literary mischief steep together…
The Velvet Teacup Society is a cozy gathering place for Chrissy Chicory readers, friends, and soft-hearted souls. Whether you love a good ghost story, a bit of pixie trouble, or just a quiet moment with tea—you’re welcome here.
🌙 What Is the Velvet Teacup Society?
Imagine this…
Soft lighting, your favorite mug in hand, wearing pajamas, wrapped in a quilt. The cat might be purring nearby. You log into Zoom, and there’s Chrissy—also in her pajamas—pouring tea from a vintage pot and reading an excerpt from her latest cozy mystery. You smile. You’re among friends.
This is not a book club.
This is not homework.
This is a fun slumber party for grownups who love stories.
✨ How to Join
It’s free and delightfully easy.
🫶 Step 1: Join the [Velvet Teacup Society Facebook Group]
📅 Step 2: Mark your calendar for the next Zoom
🧸 Step 3: Show up in your PJs with a warm drink and a little wonder
💻 We gather live on Zoom
We’ll share the Zoom link each month in the Velvet Teacup Society Facebook group and in the newsletter. No need to download anything fancy—just click the link, sip your tea, and get cozy. Pajamas encouraged. Camera optional.
🌷 Why Velvet?
Because velvet is soft, elegant, and timeless—just like the kind of connection we’re creating. This is a space for softness, silliness, and sincerity. No filters, no pressure. Just stories, snacks, and the joy of showing up as yourself.
🧸 What to Expect
Here’s what you’ll find steeped into every monthly gathering:
• 🌙 Monthly Zoom Gathering — Every third Wednesday at 7:00 PM Eastern. Lighthearted, brief, and beautifully cozy (30–40 minutes).
• ✨ Themed Reading + Sneak Peek — An excerpt from Chrissy’s current work-in-progress or a seasonal favorite.
• 📜 Exclusive Printable Gift — Shared only during the live Zoom chat. Not emailed. Not archived. A little treasure for those who attend.
• 🎁 Teacup Giveaway — One guest will win the exact vintage teacup Chrissy drinks from during the meeting.
• 💬 No Recording — We don’t record our gatherings. Why? Because being present is part of the magic. It’s cozy, casual, and safe to show up in your pajamas and messy bun without worry.
• 🫶 Cozy Community — Our private Facebook group is always open for weekly polls, bookish fun, and reader shenanigans.
