WISE MEN & WOMEN STILL SEEK HIM!



Can you believe Christmas is going to be here in a few days? So much to do! OK, why is it that when we are at our most busiest time, there is so many wonderful things to see on your blogs? I can just get stuck for hours if I am not careful, peeking into your homes. I am a "Peeking Blogger". If I commented on every blog I looked at this week, I wouldn't have time to sleep. Your homes are just "droolingly" beautiful. Have I told you lately you are amazing? The more I get to know you the more blessed I feel.




Let's get started with this week's party, No 92 no less! My first cup is this vintage Carlton Ware piece made in England. It has a gold center and handle with dark to lighter burgundy colors on the body. Very pretty!




The next cup is a Royal Konigl pr Tettau Cup and Saucer. This cup is Made in Germany, US Zone. It is a cream, burgundy and gold color. It is a trio, perfect for Christmas!




Last cup I am sharing this week is a Old Ivory, Syracuse China called "Romance." It is a lovely Maroon color and is Made in America.




We had our Annual Cookie Making Party at my sister's house yesterday. This is my daughter, Vanessa, son, Kyle and of course Noah! We have been doing this every year for at least 25 years, maybe more, no one can remember. The boys had so much fun!




I know time is short for many of you. Terri and I are so blessed to have been a part of this wonderful "Tea Party" for the past year. Here is this week's linky. May Jesus be your greatest gift this year! May He richly bless you this Christmas. If you would like to know more about Him, email me. It would be my honor to introduce you to God's greatest gift to Man!



Christmas Hugs and Kisses! Martha

You are just so sweet! Your ruby set from Carlton is especially rich for the season with your tree brooch. I'm sure you have more than just myself wondering about the floral edged plate in the German Tea Cup photo and the maker of your tea pot.

Christmas Blessings to You!

OH, your cookie making party sounds divine! My daughter and I are doing our annual cookie baking day on Wednesday. I think it's important to have those special traditions.

Your teacups (as always) are beautiful, and I love your music choice. "Mary Did You Know" is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Such amazing lyrics.

I love you, my friend, and I wish you a glorious Christmas.

Love and hugs,
Patti

Dearest Martha,

Merry, Merry Christmas dear lady.., and a happy New Year to you as well my precious and kind fellow tea loving blog friend!

I love your delightfully festive teacups this week.., Oh my!.., Which to choose? A pretty festive golden/red teacup and saucer will be my choice I believe. Now for a cookie as I admire the shining, happiest of dear faces of your loved ones. A precious 25 year tradition of cookie baking with your family. ~ How heartwarmingly wonderful Martha!

Thanks ever so much for also inspiring us richly and sharing with us all of your marvelous tea posts for our Tuesday tea parties, and especially for co-hosting Teacup Tuesday with Terri.

Thanks for so faithfully brightening our corner of blogland, as you have joined us for, 'T and TTT', and also for, 'Tuesday Tea For Two', on many a lovely occasion.
