Thanksgiving Tea Time


Hello All! 

Thank you for stopping by!
Being back in Bloglandia has been a joy.
Hearing from many of you...
Priceless!
This time of year,
when the leaves burst into colorful expression
and the air has a certain chill,
I find myself more reflective than
the busy hot summer months. 

Tea is a perfect companion for reflection...
as you all know....
*smile*


Today I enjoyed a mix of some of my favorite herbs...
Chamomile
Nettle
Spearmint 
Peppermint

in  a  sweet tea cup given to me by my friend Dianne Buckley. 
Thank you again Dianne!
It is a lovely little tea cup,
very sturdy and very comfortable 
in the hand for such a pretty cup. 
She is "Ming Rose"
by Foley,
a fine company.

I sipped my tea while working on the card above,
it is almost done.


Creating holiday cards for family and friends
is a loving task,
I was able to focus and finish my cards. Yay!

I felt so thankful for each loved one!
How lucky are we to have those in our lives
who know us and love us!

How precious love is!


I started writing a list of all I was thankful for...
You all here are on it!
There is so much to be 
Thankful for!

Every single day!
I am thankful for Martha,
Dear Martha is going through a very 
challenging time.
*Send her as much love as you can*


Wishing you all...
where ever you are
and in whatever circumstances...
JOY

Hugs to you All
Terri

  7. So happy to share a cuppa with you although mine is coffee to begin the day(the herbal teas are for later)! That is a beautiful cup. You must be thrilled to have your cards done already!

  13. Life is very precious and often we come to that realization way too late in life.
    I have a friend who has a tea party once a month just to gather good friends and enjoy sharing and caring.

    That is such a sweet gift of a cup and saucer from you friend - a treasured keepsake which brings memories of her when you sip your tea - so special!
    Your angel card is adorable! It must make you feel so uplifted having created all of these in the past short while. I am so delighted for you! You are well ahead of me.

  16. Terri, your teacup is adorable and I am envious that you have finished making your Christmas cards already. I've completed some for an exchange but still have to get a move on for family and friends. Mine are not as feminine and lacy as yours but this is something I'd love to try for a change. I'm sure your Jane Austen tree is stunning.

  21. wonderful to see you posting again, Terri! You've been missed! Martha has been so sweet to keep us updated with reports of you during the past year, and I am so very sorry to hear she's going through a rough time herself. I'll be praying for her and her family.
