Ever since my tea-themed ornament collection outgrew the little pink feather tree that used to display it, I've wondered whether it's okay to subject my sweet husband to an all-tea, all-the-time tree each year, but he seems to like it as much as I do, so here we are again! I'm really just getting started on my decorating, but I am almost giddy since, for the first time since I began freelancing in 2013, I am taking the entire month of December off from editing books! Wheeeeeeee! I plan to decorate, and bake cookies, and finish the final edits on my own next book, and read some new books, and go Christmas shopping, and go to tea, and … well, naturally, I've already gotten a bit irrational about what all I can do in a month, but you get the idea. Still, putting up the small (but not tabletop) white tree was fun.
It's always so lovely to reminisce about the various tea ornaments, many (most?) of which were gifts, and some of which are souvenirs of trips to tearooms.
And this year, I was delighted to add a new teacup ornament to the tree, this cutie that was a surprise gift from my friend Joy! So was I the last one to get her Christmas tree up this year, or are some of you still in the early decorating stages of December as well?
You're not the last - I'm still decorating. Need to put the ornaments on my tea-themed tree still.
ReplyDeleteLovely tree with a sweet theme. May you enjoy the time off and be blessed.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I haven't started decorating
ReplyDeleteI did finish decorating today with the addition of the greens and made a wreath for our gardenhouse. I will post wreath pictures later this week. Love your tea decorations and even recognize one of them. Enjoy having the month off to play. This is my baking week.
ReplyDeleteLove your tree. We decorated our tree this weekend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your month off! I'm sure you will. Your tea-themed tree is so cute--the ornaments look really nice against the whiteness of the tree. I have done only a little decorating so far--I need to do some major cleaning first, to make way for the Christmas things.
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! Love a white tree. I have a tea tree too, in our kitchen dining nook area. It's a green 6 foot skinny one I actually put up first for Halloween, then switch it out to a fall theme, then a tea and treats theme. Any ornament that is tea or something yummy to eat so there are candy and gingerbread ones, etc.
ReplyDeleteI found two Precious Moments Christmas teapot ornaments at thrift store yesterday,
