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 Chicory Salon (newsletter, sign up form below)
This is where your invitation arrives each month—complete with the private Zoom link.
📅 Step 2: Mark your calendar for the next gathering
We meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM Eastern.
🧸 Step 3: Show up in your PJs with a warm drink and a little wonder
💻 We gather live on Zoom
Each month, you’ll receive a private Zoom link directly in your inbox—no searching, no scrolling. Just click, sip your tea, and settle in.
Pajamas encouraged. Camera optional.
🌿 A little extra magic
Between gatherings, our Velvet Teacup Society Facebook group is open for bookish chatter, cozy conversations, and occasional visits from featured authors.
But the heart of it all?
It begins with the invitation in your inbox.
🌷 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.

Novel Tea Book Shop, our official Sponsor
Each month, we spotlight a special blend from Novel Tea Book Shop
There’s always a story steeping at Novel Tea Book Shop—a cozy gem in Ormond Beach, Florida, where shelves brim with books and teapots alike. We are delighted to call them the official tea sponsor of the Velvet Teacup Society.
As a local bookshop with heart, Novel Tea blends community, conversation, and the comfort of a good cup. Whether you’re browsing their shelves in person or ordering tea to sip at home, they bring warmth and wonder into every cup.
We’re endlessly grateful for their partnership and the way they help us create a little extra magic at every gathering. Here’s to stories shared, teacups raised, and the joy of supporting local. 🫖💫📚
We’ll be raising our cups together at this month’s Zoom—hope you’ll join us! 🌙💕
