On The Sixth Day of Christmas

On the sixth day of Christmas,

I'm sharing with you ....

Two Wise Guys!

The owls flew in from Wisconsin for the whole holiday season.
A gift from my pen pal.
It's the Little Things! 

Wishing YOU well and much joy in 2016! 

I Need It To Keep Me Warm

I realized that, as much as I like Emma Bridgewater,

I didn't have an Emma Christmas mug.

So, I got myself an early present and have been using

the mug and my Portmeirion Holly and Ivy teapot

all month, drinking Harney and Sons

White Christmas Tea

(a blend of white tea, almonds and vanilla).

When I'm finished drinking White Christmas,
I get to start on my new teas.

My BGD (beautiful god-daughter) and her handsome knight
sent me Fearrington House Afternoon Tea.
It smells so delicious: Black China Tea
 with carmel, grapefruit, and lemony bergamot.
Plus, Fearrington House Jam:Raspberry, Star Anise, Thyme.
The Fearrington House is one of their favorite places for a romantic get-a-way.
Looking at it in the magic of cyberspace --
it looks like a wonderful spot for tea and belted cattle gazing! 
You can check out the Fearrington Village and Inn here.




More tea!
Liliuokalani tea from Serendipi Tea:
Organic China Black Tea, Safflower Petals, Orange Blossoms, 
and Tropical Fruit Flavor.

Taylor Maid Farms: Pacific Coast Breakfast - Organic Yunnan Black Tea.

There is a cold front blowing through.
I'll need all of this tea to keep me warm!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Happy Owloween!

Halloween is just around the corner and
 I'm celebrating potion (tea) making Owl style!

I found the owl teapot and cups and saucers at Macy's -- on sale!

Yippee!

The pattern is Edle Rose by Rachel Bilson Dinnerware, Owl Teapot

I don't believe the butterflies on the saucers have a true function other than being cute!

I'm careful how I handle and store them. 

I'm joining:

Nancy for Tuesday Muse 

 and some lovely tea parties:

Wishing all of you well, much joy and a wonderful cup of tea!

Happy Owloween!

Circles

This is Aldred, cousin to Alice.

You saw Alice last week as part of the CAL at Meme Rose.

I stuffed Al with a pillow form -- soft and cuddly.

Finding the right name for him really didn't take too long.

When I discovered that Aldred meant old, wise counsel I knew I had the right name.

Perfect for an Owl.

I'm using Al's eyes as the circle prompt for August Break.

I Love Owls

I love owls.
I've been collecting them since I was a very small girl.
I guess I've always loved the wise old owl often seen by Merlin's side.
Magical!

So, it is no surprise that Lacey Owl has been added to the owl and teacup collection.

This is a huge teacup.

So far in the cup I've had:

tea

hot chocolate

cereal

oat meal

tomato soup with half a grilled cheese sandwich on the plate

and I'm sure I'll find more drink/food to fit! 

I have a new favorite tea:

Orange Jasmine by China Mist.

This is a white and green whole leaf tea blend in a sachet.

OWLing Time!

Halloween is just around the corner and it's time to invite the

OWLS for tea! 

One of the local tea houses has owl tea cups.

Every time I visit with them I pick the owl cup for my tea.

Mr. Dragon searched and searched and found the teapot and teacup set.

He knew how much I enjoyed tea with the owls! 

It is one of my most precious possessions.

I can't help but think about Mr. Dragon and all the love we shared when I use this set.

It brings a very big smile to my face.

He would like to know I'm smiling and laughing.

How about a cup of chai and a pumpkin muffin?

Sounds good to me!

Fall Arrives!

Fall arrives today and to celebrate I'm posting a

Halloween Postcard.

 

The card is from a book of Halloween postcards published by

Darling & Company of Seattle.

The back of the card reads:

Anonymous postcard, No date.

Thank you to the lovely Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.
