A Finch Christmas Teacup!!!!!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I know I have been absent - so sorry!
 We've just had so many social engagements to host or attend,
 and I simply ran out of time!

I know I never did share a holiday home tour -
 it's been way too busy and now it's just too late.
 Perhaps next year.

I honestly need to start decorating in October! 


I do strongly feel I must ask that you to please
 indulge my holiday side one more time
 and allow me to share one last Christmas item;
 a perfect surprise from my husband!










Well, he knows my love of tea, and of yellow finches....

And he found a Christmas Yellow Finch
 Tea cup, saucer and snack plate trio!!!!!










So I am enjoying my teatime today
using my sweet new set and just relaxing
and praising God for our happy and healthy holiday.










The new tin of Harney & Sons White Christmas Tea
 was a hostess gift from my women's club friend Kathy,
 who recently attended my Christmas Tea & Cookies Social.

But what I am drinking today is a special Christmas tea blend -
was inserted inside a card from our fellow blogger
 Angela of Tea With Friends.

Her blog is a go-to for All Things Tea -
 I especially enjoy reading her tea reviews!

BTW: she is also a published author!











What a wonderful Christmas season this was. 
I hate for it to end, it all happens so fast, doesn't it?











As always, thank you for your visit!

  14. What a perfect gift for you! That's a sweetie for sure! I tried the White Christmas Tea from H&S but I can't say I liked it...passed it on to a daughter in law. The Murchie's Christmas tea was my fav for a holiday tea...but....Glad you had such a fun Christmas! Happy New Year and thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

  18. I feel the same way Michele, Christmas comes and passes all too fast. So for me, the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve is still full Christmas! lol! I am still celebrating ; )
    Your husband is a keeper! Wow, he hit all three of your favorites in one tea cup pattern! That is amazing! I think he should buy a lottery ticket just in case he is still very lucky! Wishing you and your family a very Happy and healthy New Year!
    Hugs,
    Terri

  20. What a man! This set was made for you and I am so happy your hubby found it to surprise you at Christmas Michele. I have a few bags of white tea from an exchange but I'm really a black tea girl at heart, and I like flavoured teas too!
    Happy New Year!

  22. So thoughtful! And a lovely set. I always look forward to Spring when the Goldfinches turn from brown back to gold. I keep Christmas the whole 12 days so I'm happily immersed in catching up an all the Christmas posts I missed during Advent. I have declared this New Year's Day a Pajama Day - not getting dressed, not doing housework. Drinking coffee and watching tv, catching up on my fav. blogs. I may even take a nap! Hope you have a great year!
