35th 'Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday'; Fitz and Floyd

Welcome to ...

35th, 'Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday'!

 I love the Christmas-tide, and yet

I notice this, each year I live;

I always like the gifts I get,

But how I love the gifts I give!

W elcome one and all!  It is wonderful to have you drop in for a cup of steaming tea and a sweet treat.  Do find a cozy, comfy chair to settle into for  a wee break.  Are you still as busy as I with the festivities of this blessed season? Then all the better to sit and visit with the others. A gift to yourself and to us who enjoy your company.  I would love to know what gift was the most heartfelt of all, to you?


I want to share a very special teaset this week. It was a gift.  Mr R was on a business trip several winters ago, in New Brunswick, and stumbled upon a Christmas teapot. Being it was a few weeks after Christmas it was nicely marked down, so he made the purchase and brought it back to Ontario.  He thought finding the matching cream and sugar would be simple. But they were no where to be found, in the stores.  As the seasons changed he persisted in his quest and suceeded in finding it on Ebay, in time for that Christmas!  IT has been part of our Christmas traditions ever since.


A s time is short this week I simplified my tea table, adding a few new pieces to selected pieces from last week.

'F & F' teapot

 

'F & F' cream and sugar

The 'F & F' reindeers are patrolling the chocolate tulles

otherwise they are salt and pepper shakers

 

Our Christmas tree

Polar Bear Express

Pineapples were a sign of hospitality

many years ago.

New decorations this year

from Walmart

We found two boxes of teacup spoons at

HomeSense on the 24th

I thought they would add some sparkle to the tree

and hung them like icicles

Friendship teapot decoration

Let's play a Victorian game.

Can you find the pickle??

You must search to find it!

Its behind the teapot

Angels to guide and protect us.

Luke 11:13

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
