TEA CUP GIVE AWAY & 200 TEA CUP POSTS! PARTY TO INCREASE FOLLOWERS!




Hello Ladies:  Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 200! Can you believe that? Wow!  So sorry about last week,  I missed posting, something I rarely do.  My calendar just got too busy.  I did manage to remove all the Christmas decor.  It looks so empty without it.  I miss it, but I am glad it is all put away.  I also have been dealing with a health issue relating to my heart  and last week involved a lot of visits to doctors office.   I would appreciate your prayers for me when you think about it.  I should know more this week about what exactly I have.  I do have a peace that I am in the Palm of the Lord's hand. 



 January marks six years that I have been blogging.  Six years of blogging, I can hardly believe that.  A few of you have been with me since I started.  You are amazing.  I am having a give away to celebrate the event.  I will choose a winner the last Tuesday of the month.    I will have Sophia pick a name.  Noah can read very well now so he is out.   I do love blogging more now then when I started.  This is the cup you will win at the end of the month. All you have to do is be a follower and let me know.  I will add extra chances for liking me on Facebook, or leaving me a comment on www.prettyvintagethings.com.  Just let me know what you have done in the comments.  You will get three extra chances just by adding my badge to your blog. I will be adding more to the give away next week.  








I am sharing an Aynsley tea set today.  It really belongs to my daughter, Vanessa.  It was purchased for a wedding shower tea I gave her so many years ago.  I love how beautiful this is.  Look at the amazing handles.  You just can't beat an Aynsley. 



For those of you who would like to increase your followers, on January 25th, Vicki, at 2 bags Full will be hosting a blog party just for that purpose.  Just click on the badge on my side bar if you want more information.  Here a three pictures of my grandchildren doing what they love to do.  I think they get that from Grandma, that is my favorite thing to do too!  Notice how perfect the Princess Maya looks at the end of the blog. 





Have a wonderful week.  Blessings, Martha

  5. What a lovely tea set. I have done all the things you asked.... but don't include me. I would rather the winner be someone who "needs" new tea cups. I am so fortunate to be in the business of selling them so have a LOT!!!!!

  8. I am a most delighted follower of your blog. The things you post are absolutely beautiful with exception to a small portion of this one. Heart problems are no fun. I am on medication to regulate my heart beat. Therefore I will be praying to Our Healer for you. I just became a follower of yours on Facebook as well. The teacup you are giving away is quite lovely! Thank you for hosting this terrific giveaway. Be encouraged! Be blessed! Be healed!

    Sincerely,
    Melinda

  12. Your teaset is really pretty, as usual. I'll think of you when you're at the doctor: I have a not-so-fun apppointment to check bosom "lumps" that I have and need to be checked every now and then to see if they don't go in the "wrong direction". Maybe it'll help us both to think of each other rather than think only of myself!

  14. Hello Dear Martha....200 tea parties? Oh my GOSH. That is unbelievable! Congratulations. I remember the beginnings. I've been blogging 4 years and some months now. Can you believe it?

    Thank you so much for your comment on today's post. I wouldn't miss visiting you, that's for sure.

    The grandkids are all darlings.

    Martha, I pray to the Lord to watch over you with this heart problem. I'm concerned. I need to turn it over 100 percent to the Lord.

    Take care, dear Martha. Hugs. Susan

  16. Blessings, Martha, and God's mercies as you sort through your health concern. On the happy note - joy to you as you celebrate six years of blogging. It has been an adventure in loveliness for me - and for you, too, I daresay. YES - do enter me in your give-away. I will LIKE you on Facebook (hope you'll LIKE me back and be sure to click on "Get Notifications - FB is blocking us small fry pages because they want us to pay for exposure. Boo.) Also - will check things out at Pretty Vintage Things. You will note when you visit me that my vintage world has expanded this year!
    Joy!

  26. I do so love coming here to your blog! It is so warm and grace-filled. I am so sorry you are having health issues. God is able to do exceeding abundantly ABOVE all we can ask or even think! I am praying for you and believing God to heal you and leave you here with your precious family for many, many years! Satan paints such dark pictures, but he is a liar and never speaks the truth. Your grand-children look so sweet. You have a lovely family. God is good! I am expecting to hear good things about your health! Blessings to you, Cheryl
