Tea on Tuesday

Hi Everyone,

I have been visiting some blogs that celebrate tea.  I have enjoyed tea since I was a little girl.  Mom never sent us to school unless we had our tea with our breakfast.  Then when I was older and walked home for lunch, she always had tea waiting for me to have with my lunch.  I have grown to love many different teas and one of my favorites is Earl Grey.  I love the aroma and the taste is divine.  I always use sugar and cream.  However when I was visiting my daughter last month there were some teas that I enjoyed without cream.

Today's tea for me is Earl Grey.  I hope all of you enjoy my pictures that I have posted.

Let me say as we draw closer to this coming Sunday I pray all of you have a blessed Easter holiday as we remember what our Savior Jesus Christ did for us.  Let us celebrate together Resurrection Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.  Please leave a comment, I would love to know you were here for a visit.

Hugs,
Janet

Snowy Monday

Hi Everyone.

I just had to post tonight.  I have been visiting some of the blogs that I follow and let me say the teas that everyone is holding are just so wonderful.  I have learned how to do the linking thing so if anyone can teach I would really appreciate it.  It is nice reading all about the teas and seeing the different tea sets that everyone shows.  I also enjoy the many other pictures that you show as well.

Well I must close.  I hope everyone has a great evening.  And thanks so much for sharing your teas with me. I really appreciate it so very much.

Hugs,
Janet

New Tea Cup Pin Cushions

Hi Everyone,

I have been busy creating and have also started moving back down to my craft room.  The weather seems to be getting better and is not so cold down in the craft room.  I have made some more tea cup pin cushions as well as tea spoon pin cushions.  I have also join another swap site and have been doing some swaps with them.  They are very creative people and I love seeing all of the creations.

I plan on uploading some of my pictures so that you can see what I have been up too.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please leave a comment, I would really appreciate it.  Also please visit my other blog; nananovembersparlor.blogspot.com.

I always look forward to your visit.

Hugs,

Back from California

Hi Everyone,

I am finally back from California.  What a great time I had with my daughter and her family.  It was so much fun and I want to share some of the things we did while I was there.  We did crafts with the girls, had a tea party and sewed aprons with the girls.

Also since I have been home I have done some crafting and creating myself that I would like to share as well as show you my latest piece to add to my Solvang collection.  I just can't go to California without making a stop in Solvang.  They have the cutest stores.

Well I will close for now and share my photos.

Hugs to all,
Janet

Tea Pots and Cups

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since I checked in.  I hope all of you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Ours was quiet but very enjoyable.  During the holidays I did visit a couple of thrift stores, my favorite place to shop for those unique tea cups and tea pots.  While shopping I found some very unique tea pots and a tea cup and saucer.  I was also able to find a set of dishes that I love.  They are very simple.  I would call them a pink country and pink is my favorite color.

With some of the other items, miss matched plates, glasses and a tea pot I was able to make a three tier server.  One other thing was a Valentine mug and I already had a single saucer.  I matched the two up and made a Valentine mug pin cushion.

I will be posting pictures of these as soon as I finish this post.

Tell what have you been up to lately?  Are you creating anything new or have you found some new tea pots and cups?  I look forward to seeing them.

Well I am going to close for now.  Pictures will be posted.

Hugs,
Janet

Christmas Dinner

Hi Everyone,

Merry Christmas!  My day has been truly wonderful.  Our son and his wife spent the day and our daughter called from California and her husband uploaded a video of our granddaughters opening some of their gifts.
What a blessing.  I hope all of you have had a blessed and wonderful Christmas day as well.

I want to share with you our Christmas day dinner. It is very traditional.

Homemade Turkey Raviolis
Homemade Sauce with homemade meatballs
Broccolli and Cauliflower with Cheese and Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese
Tossed Salad with Homemade Italian Dressing
Ham
Relish Tray
Sparkling Grape Juice
Assorted Cookies

Everything was so delicious and I am thankful for Brittany's help in the kitchen.  After we ate and cleaned up the kitchen we joined Jim and Jimmy in the livingroom to watch "Remember the Night" with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyk, and many other great actors and actresses.

After the kids left Jim and I just spent some quite time together.

God is so good to me and my family.  Praise the Lord

Love and Hugs,
Janet

Wonderfully Busy Day

Hi Everyone,

I hope all you are having a great day.  Even though it is raining here in Vandergrift, PA it is warm and cozy here in the house.  I love being in the kitchen and doing some cooking and baking which what I have been doing.  Warm M & M cookies just came out of the oven and the slow cooker is busy cooking deer steaks with beef gravy and potatoes and carrots.  Smells yummy and will really hit the spot at supper.  It has been a while since I cooked venison.  Growing up that was a meat staple in my home.  Daddy always got a deer and that helped supplement beef and other types of meat.

Well I am going to run.  Tell me about your day.

Love and Hugs,
Janet
