Getting Ready for Christmas


Welcome Dear Friends to
"Getting Ready for Christmas"


Last night we had our first snowfall and it put me in the mood to get ready for Christmas!




So I cut some berries off the tree in the front garden and


brought out my newest find...


a Royal Albert Poinsettia teapot.

$12.99 at Salvation Army a few  months ago.


I have been searching for a matching Royal Albert  Poinsettia teacup but in the meantime I found this Sadler for under $5.00 at 
Champagne Taste~ a Consignment store.






Green Depression Glass blends so nicely with red accents at Christmas Time.


This week I made two Rice Krispie Squares with the Christmas Rice Krispies.  My adult children love it and this is the last piece - just for you.  




I hope that you are 

"Getting Ready for Christmas" 
too!


Thank you for your visit today!


See you next week!
Karen

  3. Oh, what lovely berries, Karen! I cannot believe you found that RA teapot for under thirteen dollars! I declare, I'm living on the wrong coast. Both the teapot and teacup are simply wonderful finds! I only had one Christmas teacup for the longest time and then I found another last summer. Looking forward to sharing it. Your green depression glass is gorgeous and perfect for Christmas. Thank you for sharing your pretties and joining me for tea. Enjoy your week, Karen.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  9. I believe I have the matching teacup to your pot, which was a fabulous find for the price! The cup and saucer was received in a gift exchange at work years ago - a young fellow drew my name and his mother told him to buy the set for me as women like that kind of thing. :-) How right she was and it's the only Christmas teacup I have.
    The green depression glass does complement the colours of the season.

  13. I love it all! Karen: I especially am drawn to your "Red Robin" items as I just recently found a plate and love the "Legend of the Red Robin" at Christmas. Your teapot and darling cup and saucer are wonderful! Love it all!
