Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Dear Tea Friends!

Do you believe it? Another year is nearly behind us.

I  wanted to share with you
my Royal Albert's Flower of the Month Series  teacup collection that I finally completed this year.

I really don't know which is my favourite because I treasure them all and display one every month on my kitchen windowsill.  

I have a few of the matching luncheon plates.  Maybe this will be my 2017 treasure hunting goal.   

Good-bye to December for another year!

See you in January Sweet Friends!

Wishing you and Your Family 

A Safe and Healthy 2017!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Sweet Tea Friends!

Isn't this just the busiest time of year?

I do hope that you are taking some time to enjoy the season.

I wanted to share one of my most 
"Christmas-ish" china patterns with you once again.

It's Royal Albert's Poinsettia/Yuletide pattern and

 such fun to use at Christmas Time!

I have had this little metal wind up Santa since I was a wee girl.  

I was gifted these pretty Christmas sweets from my lovely daughter-in-law's Aunt Anny in Indonesia.

She is so thoughtful!  Thank you Dear Anny!

I have been busy baking so please try some of my  Saltine Cracker Toffee Bars.

Tuesday Cuppa Tea

Tuscan for Tea

Hello Dear Tea Friends,

Our December family birthdays are over and I have decided to take the tablecloth off for a few days before I re-set the table for Christmas dinner.

This is the antique pedestal table that was once my dear mother's.  I have always loved it!

When the tablecloth is on,  you can't see the intricate carving on it's legs.

I recently found this pretty Tuscan plate (marked Sunshine) for $10 and just had to order a teacup to match.  

I expected the first teacup that I ordered to be full size; but it wasn't.  It was the demitasse. Lol. The perfect size for my wee grand daughter. 

Has this ever happened to you?

I loved this pretty pink rosebud and gold leafed pattern so much that I ordered the larger one too (where the size was specified).  

The larger teacup is not marked DuBarry Rose.

But the demitasse is marked.

The pink teapot is a Georgian Gibsons Made in England.

This week my daughter and I made Starbuck's Cranberry Bliss Bar. Only available in Starbucks at Christmas.  Mmmmm, it's yummy.

And now I can have it all year long!

If you want to try it too, 

Just google:

Hope you are staying warm this holiday season!

Blessings,

Karen
