Tea on Tuesday

I am sipping a lovely cup of Yorkshire Gold - received in a swap a while ago - so I can't give credit to the person who sent me this!!! It  must have been from one of the teabag swaps I did!!

My footed cup is a thrift store find - silver colored pedestal with a black and white winter panorama circling the cup. Not really large enough for my usual cup of tea - but I like it!





A trip to the local nursery this past week netted me bags full of little gourds and pumpkins!!! I thought they were a steal at 50 cents a piece!!! When they are totally dried out- I will be saving the seeds to plant next year. I also got a wonderful large, warty pumpkin that I will be saving seeds from - can't wait to grow them!!!




The primitive hurricane glass column didn't have a pillar candle yet, so I filled it with more tiny gourds.

While drinking my tea, I am admiring the little prize I won from Faerwillow's giveaway- beautiful, soothing "calming beads"- made of smooth stones in shades of earth tone greens. You must visit her Etsy shop, she has a variety of these calming beads- a modern day version of "worry beads" - and this one works for me!!! Thank you, Faerwillow!!!


Please feel free to join us every Tuesday for tea- drop by Kimmie for a list of other participants, and visit Patty - for some lovely photos of her trip to California!!!

  4. I love that sweet little cup .... And what you did with the gourds. I'd love to hear more about how you dry them and collect the seeds .... I want to try that too!

    Happy Tuesday, kimmie

  5. Love the cup... The calming stones are a great idea... I make strands of prayer or meditation beads that work well too... Something in the hand... smooth and strong... always makes one feel more at ease...

  6. Wow, I had to go back get a good look at that lovely cup. I bet the silver base really shines, too. You find the best things at thrift stores! I've never heard of that tea, but I will see if I can find out about it. Those gourds are beautiful. It's always fun to decorate using things from nature, and then having the added bonus of the seeds. Sorry I am late getting here. It's been a bad day and I haven't been able to sit at the computer until now (now that I've taken several Ibuprofen, that is). Happy really late, but no less heartfelt, Tea Tuesday.

  9. Well, it's not Tuesday yet ... here, anyway ... and I don't have anything nearly so interesting as Yorkshire Gold tea, but I'll join you tomorrow night. I must begin writing. Your package in the wonderful colors (containing the worry stones?) is beautiful!
