Hello Ladies! Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 250! Are you tired yet? Life just got put on speed for everyone. I love December, but I must admit, I get tired so easy. I have a big tea party here at my home on Wednesday night. It is a annual party I host for the ladies of our church. It seems each year our home gets smaller and smaller, but I love doing it. I can officially say, I am done decorating for Christmas. Most people take a couple of days, I can take a couple of weeks easy.
I am going to share my mantle this week. I don't know, why I love to decorate so much, but I do. I should have done that for a living. I make such a mess while decorating, my home can look like it was robbed, that I am sure would be a problem. Everyone I see decorating will take out their boxes and look so together doing it. Not me, I make a mess, change my mind and move everything around, all over again until I get it right. Is anyone else messy when decorating?
Here is the first tea cup I am sharing this week. It is a a Royal Stafford. Love the rich gold colors on this cup.
My next cup is a Royal Grafton. It is the same style as the first cup, very elegant.
My last cup is Depression Glass, Ruby Glass. I have the entire dinner set, service for 12. It is perfect for Christmas. Saw all my Grandchildren this weekend. It always makes me so happy. Sophia was here all weekend. Today I am missing all three!
Please take time to rest this week. Terri was going to try and join us, we will see. Keep your fingers crossed. I would appreciate your continued prayers for my son. He is improving very slowing, but each day seems better than the next for him. Sending hugs your way!
Everything is so festive, Martha. I love you tea cups. You have such an interesting collection. That ruby glass is really pretty. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello Dear Martha!
ReplyDeleteI did it! I posted! Yay!
Thank you so much for doing such a beautiful job keeping Tea Cup Tuesday every week! I hope I can join in again soon.
Your tea cups are stunning! I have a soup bowl match to your first tea cup, actually four of them.
Your grandchildren are a font of joy!
Hugs,
Terri
Oh yes, Martha, I make such a mess while decorating, too. I'm always tweaking things, too, to get them just right. It must be an obsession! Your home looks so festive and I love the teacups you've shared. Your grandchildren are adorable and I know bring you much joy. I'm still praying for your son.
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful at your house! Decorating for C'mas never ends, as if you're like me, I'm always changing around and yes, I make way too much a mess I have to clean after! C'mas is G'children's season...so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely tea party.
Happy holiday season.

Love your tea cups, Martha. Grandchildren are a blessing,enjoy every moment you can with them, they grow up so fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty teacups, Martha! I think a lot of us make a mess when we begin decorating. It used to take me weeks. Glad your son is feeling a little better. Have a lovey week and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi

Oh, trust me Martha. When I start decorating, the whole house looks like somebody turned it upsidedown on its roof.
ReplyDeleteI'm just about done now and I'm grateful. But STILL haven't finished getting all the gifts needed. Oh well. There's still time.
Glad Kyle is better. Prayers continue.
Your home looks lovely and festive! Susan
What perfect cups for Christmastime! Love the fresh look of your blog. The white makes your photos pop. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMartha,
ReplyDeleteEverything is so pretty and yes I make a huge mess whether I'm decorating the house I live in or the miniature houses! Maybe it's just artistic temperament?? Any ways that's my story and I'm sticking to it, Hee Hee. Thank you so much for joining my blog recently, I truly appreciate it.
Have a blessed day!
Teresa,
sugar, spice and whatever's nice
Your mantle looks FUN! And that's what counts! I am TOTALLY messy when I am deciding how things should go - don't you go feeling bad! Your first red and gold tea cup made me gasp, it's that stunning - WOW!
ReplyDeleteHope to see Terri come back, I don't know what's wrong but sure hope she and her son are ok? Sounds REALLY scary and serious?
I continue to pray for them and for your son, and also you, Martha.
Thank you for hosting. Hugs.
Hi Martha,
ReplyDeleteYour teacups are all stunning today. The pink rose on the Royal Grafton is similar to the pink rose on my teacup this week. Your home looks so beautiful and perfect for Christmas. Your Snowboy and Snowgirl are so sweet. I pray that your son is improving and it is so nice that Terri is back. Good luck on your tea party tomorrow. I'm sure you will be the hostess with the mostest! Happy Tea Day! Karen
Your teacups are lovely & your home looks so festive & pretty!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, I am a messy decorator too. The whole house is in chaos for days when I decorate!
Thanks Martha for hosting! Love your mantel, so many pretties! Your teacups are all beautiful and perfect for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Nancy
Hi Martha, Your mantel is beautiful! Love your teacups today too. The Royal Stafford with its red and gold is elegant! Love the surprise of the little pink rose gracing the bottom of the Royal Grafton - you wouldn't see it until you'd gotten all of your tea. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Merry Christmas!
Martha, your posts make me smile :) I think we all feel that things are a mess before we are done decorating. I still have my mantel to do! Yours looks beautiful. Sounds like you are busy with your tea and with the grands. Happy times!
ReplyDeleteYour son remains on my prayer list. Glad to hear he is feeling a little better.
Lovely teacups today!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Martha, how lucky your church ladies are to have the opportunity for a December tea at your home. I am sure the decorating mess was gone when they arrived.
ReplyDeleteOh my, how festive everything looks. I love your rich colors! I especially love your carolers. Thank you for sharing your decor. Hugs, Beverly
