A COLD WINTER TEA TIME for "Friends Sharing Tea"

For about a month, this has

 been a colder than usual

winter in Missouri - at least that's

what the locals tell me.

After all these cold days I couldn't resist
these primroses at Aldi's for 49 cents each.

In front of the fireplace is where you
will find me these days - drinking hot tea
and sometimes hot chocolate.

 The sound of the tea kettle 
has been very familiar lately.

Yesterday I opened a little package
 and inside were a number of
 small treasures from Michele at
"The Nest at Finch Rest".  Now
was that a sweet surprise!

It has finally gotten warmer
 this week and although still cold, 

more typical of past years. 

I am sharing a used book I 
recently purchased about
the life of L. M. Montgomery who 
wrote Anne of Green Gables and 
many other wonderful books.

Please pour yourself some
 tea or
hot chocolate and if you
can't tell the difference
between them and a teapot

I hope you are staying away from all
the bad germs this winter!  It is a good 
time to stay in and away from them!

JANUARY IS IN THE PINK

I am still sharing my outdoor

Christmas wreath.  I find

greenery in the green belt

behind our home.

ANTIQUE CHOCOLATE POT FINDS A HOME

Isn't it fun to find a treasure on an antiquing venture......

This Chocolate Set was made in Germany

and it seems I have seen quite a few from the 1940's era that are from Germany.

Recently we set out for some of our favorite antiquing spots in Denver, Colorado and were thrilled to find that the huge mall on Broadway was having a sale.....

As many of you already know, the spout is what attributes this piece as a Chocolate Pot and not a coffee or teapot.....by the way, the vendor called it a "coffee" which often is a common mistake.

There were 3 demi sized cups and saucers - probably the 4th was broken!
