As we end this year of giveaways, I'd also like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone for making this such a fun Saturday project for me in 2012! I've gotten so many nice thank-you notes in the mail and by e-mail, along with heaps of kind comments (and even some gifts!) thanking me for my "generosity." I must tell you I'm not really that generous, but I'm sure trying to be! The Bible tells us that Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). I can't help believing that my year of giving is one reason I have been so very blessed this year!
Now, to enter this final giveaway of 2012, just leave a comment with the name of the tea company from which you'd like to receive your $25 gift certificate. I believe most of them can deliver them electronically, so please enter by midnight EST New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Day you just may get notified that you're kicking off the new year with a gift of tea! Good luck!
Oooh, I would love to win a certificate from Harney & sons!
ReplyDeleteThanks angela!
Good morning Angela
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed getting to know you through your blog and am always amazed at the variety of tea things you find, let alone gift to your readers. The quote from the Bible is one I was raised with as well as to always do what you know to be right, regardless of circumstances. We can only hope the new generation will learn the same values and follow through.
Blogging has brought many like minded women together and it's been nice to make new friends.

Thank you for another wonderful giveaway. I would love a Gift Certificate to Twinings Tea.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela, for a wonderful year of give-aways, as well as all your other delightful posts! I look forward to reading your blog every morning, and often browse through your older posts when I need bigger "tea fix".
ReplyDeleteIf my name is drawn, I would love to have a gift certificate to Capital Teas.
Thanks Angela for an interesting, informative, fun blog. I have truly enjoyed reading every post. You are the first place I check in the morning (after my Gingerwood Board). I would love a gift certificate to Twinnings should I win.
ReplyDeleteThrough your recommendations I (we) have broadened my niece's range of tea likes. And now her friends are getting interested.
You have been very generous in your sharing of knowledge, recipes, gifts and general fun stuff. Thanks
Wishing you a happy 2013, full of all good things (and lovely teas) for you and yours.
What a perfect way to end your generous gift-giving year, Angela!
ReplyDeleteI even posted about you today in my year-end review!!
You know I coudln't possibly enter another of your drawings until at least mid year 2013 so I will just say this is a wonderful addition to your prizes and you are awesome.
Hugs and happy new year to you!!
Would love a Gift Certificate to Capital Teas. Have been wanting to drive down to one of their stores for a while now and this would be the perfect reason. Thanks for your fun blog.

Your generosity is most evedent in the blog that you share with readers. I look forward to it every morning and "covet" the wonderful teas that you give and attend Sharing your photos is almost as good as being there. Thank you for a great uplift everyday (well except Sunday :). Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a wonderful year of lovely giveaways and the fun and interesting posts that you share. You have brought joy and smiles and these are invaluable gifts.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy New Year, Angela.

This year passed by so quickly! You are a very dedicated and generous blogger! I would choose Harney and Sons for a gift certificate. I'm running low on some of my favorite teas, and I know it's hard to believe, but I have my eye on some "new-to-me" teas.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have never had Harney and sons so that would be fun to try. What a generous gift! Thank you, Dee
ReplyDeleteHarney and Sons .

Angela: My choice for a gift certificate would be "Capital Teas". Thank You for a year of wonderful gifts! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou are very generous and giving. A great example to us all. Thank you. My top choice would be Republic of Tea. If that is not possible I think I'd like to try Capitol Tea -- one I am unfamiliar with.
ReplyDeleteOooh!! So many fun tea shops to try try ... which one to list?! There's a sampler set of Russian teas at Kusmi Teas that I'd love to try. So that's my choice!
ReplyDeleteThis has been quite a fun year of giveaways...and you have been incredibly generous! A very blessed and Happy New Year to you, Angela! :)
Thank you Angela, you are a blessing and an inspiration to all tea lovers in blog land. We should all be so giving. Harney & sons would be my choice if I am the lucky one. Happy New Year to you, may yours be blessed beyond your imagination!
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous gift! I've learned about so many teas through you & have tried new brands after reading about them on your blog. I've come to look forward to your posts very much!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite brand by far is Harney & sons!
I've had so much fun seeing what you come up with for your giveaways! If my name is drawn, I think I'd like to try Harney and Sons!

ReplyDeleteWishing you a Blessed New Year.

Angela, I am so happy I found your blog through my friend Denise. I have enjoyed all of your posts, and look forward to more. This gift is so generous - I would love to try Harney & Sons after looking at a few of these websites.
ReplyDeleteBlessed New Year to you!
Thanks Angela for the best blog on tea out there. I'd love to win a gift certificate to Harney's tea. The best of the new year to you!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
I would choose Republic of Tea. There's something about those teas that are so palatable for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the offer.
Oh wow! What a great giveaway. I'd love to win a gift certificate to Adagio. I haven't had their tea in a while.
ReplyDeleteI would choose Upton Tea Imports because it's located locally to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful giveaway! I would choose Harney and Sons because I haven't tried their teas yet. I enjoy discovering new favorites!
ReplyDeleteAngela, I cant't believe your year of lovely give-aways has passed so quickly. I would love a certificate from Twinnings! Thank you and a blessed 2013 to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteMarket Spice teas are my absolute favorite~ http://www.marketspice.com/store/category/samplegift-packs I would love to order a gift pack. Thanks for the chance!

I enjoy your blog all through the year. Thanks for all the interesting posts.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose a tea company it would be Harney & sons.
Thanks again.
Angela, you are so precious to keep on giving throughout the whole year. I hope you have been given much in return. You are a blessing!!!
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard for me to pick a tea company. I like so many kinds of tea. I guess I would say here "Ahmad of London."
Enjoy your new year!
Hugs!!!
Happy New year! I love Twinings tea. It was a special treat to visit their original shop! At some point I want to pester you for your snailmail address, because I'd like to send a thank you and a few little tea treats. I'll do that once I have them ready to send (I'm still in the midst of moving and organizing!)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!! I'd love to try the Upton Tea Imports tea. I learn so much from your blog, you are a true delight. Wish we could sit down together for a cuppa. The best to you in the new year.

I would choose Adagio. I had some tea from them as a wedding favor and would love to have some more.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the generous giveaways this year.
Oh my, what a generous way to close the year! So hard to choose... I think I would most like a gift certificate from Adagio since I have tried most of the others and I am always excited to try new things!
ReplyDeleteIs Teavana an option? I like them!
ReplyDeleteTwinings would be great. They have a good selection of the teas I prefer.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I echo what those above have said about your generosity! I really enjoy your blog and look forward to checking it every morning. If I were the winner I think I would pick Harney and Sons. Even though my autocorrect doesn't like them! I fixed that name 3times, I hope it leaves it alone this time. :-) wishing you a Happy and Blessed New Year.
ReplyDeleteHello Angela, what a generous giveaway! I love your blog, it is so fun to visit and is a perfect way to start or end a day.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading about all the teas and I enjoy your book reviews and your 'Out and About' reports - they are always so interesting! And your photography is so beautiful, I feel like I am right there, whether it's a tea room in Madison or at the Biltmore, your photos 'take us along' on the Tea Journey. If my name is drawn, I would enjoy trying Capital Teas.
Thank you for a great year of 'Tea Travels!' Here's wishing you and your family a Wonderful New Year.

Hi Angela
ReplyDeleteI recently found your blog via Pinterest and have been having the best time catching up reading it from the very beginning. Your generous and creative soul shines through in your posts!
An Upton Team Imports gift certificate would definitely start the new year right.
Thank you,
Janet
Thanks so much for all you do, Angela! Your blog has often been a bright light in what was not the brightest of years for me.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to see what your Saturdays will be next year. I wish you a happy, healthy and blessed year to come!

twinings for sure

Dear Angela -Thank you for your generosity! You've had a wonderful year of sharing your love of tea with readers and giving beautiful gifts. (I've almost filled my "Breathe" journal!)
ReplyDeleteI have so much tea, I'll skip this entry but I wish luck to all of the readers!
This is so generous, Angela! I have told you before I think you are very much a generous sole and I love your blog and what I see and learn from you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering me. Had fun looking at the sites and dreaming of what I would choose...

I'd love to try Upton Tea.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Your blog has brought lots of new ideas and products to my attention over the year and Capital Teas is another new to me one. Thank you so much. I have my eye on something special there and it would hold even more fun memories if it ended up being mine because of a giveaway win from your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat that would be to win a gift certificate from a favorite tea company. That one is difficult to say which I would choose. Right now I am enjoying teas from teasource.com, but then harney's is special too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year wishes to you Angela! Your blog has been a joy to learn from and I look forward to reading more in 2013.
ReplyDeleteMy choice would be for Harney and Sons - so many flavors to choose from.

Harney & Sons -- I've been wanting to try the Royal Wedding tea, and Paris is rather good also.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try Capital Teas!
