Mother/Child Tea Party


Hello, all my tea-lovin' friends out there!
Hope you've been enjoying your week!
Mine has been quite busy. I haven't had much time to stop for a teatime break.
So, thank goodness, last week I did a double up and had photographed two different tea-settings for Mother's Day. I know the holiday has come and gone, but thought it would still be nice to share this mother/child tea time with you.
My step-daughter, who is 36, married and has her own family, is NOT at all a tea person. So, I like to dream of what it would be like to have teatime as mother and daughter(or son).
These are my favorite Chintz tea sets.  I have 2 sets; one large and one small. Perfect for a mother and  young child .

Snickerdoodles are the sweet snack for this tea party.
Simply cinnamon-y delicious!

 Even though my son isn't into tea, either, I have some adorable mother/son figurines.
This reminds me of when I got him ready for his first day of school, many years back.
 This angel watching over a praying child is one that my hubby got me years ago. It is a reminder to me that God is always watching over and protecting my children.
 A little cinnamon spiced tea was the flavor of the day.
 
Wishing you a cheerful and productive day!!
Blessings to each and every one who visited me today.

    Love the words "Mother-Daugther" & Mother-Son". It really show your love for them.

    The figurines are adorable as well as your Chintz.

    Happy mid-week.

      Thanks, Trish. I never know whether or not to link up on your link-up, since I'm usually not into sharing recipes. But I do love tea and anything related to it. Thank you so much for dropping by!

      Sorry, Kathy. I must have inadvertently erased the pics. I have re-downloaded the pics onto this post. Thanks so much for popping in. I understand busy weeks. Mine have been crazy!!

My word for 2016: Happiness

Image
Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I'm a bit shocked at writing this post, as I I haven't picked a word for the year for myself for a few years. I hadn't planned on choosing a word this year till recently.  But because last year had SO many challenges for me and I gave so much of myself and felt so drained of energy by the end of the year. it just seemed appropriate to decide on a specific word for 2016. Definition from Dictionary.com "The state of being happy." synonyms: pleasure ,  contentment ,  satisfaction , cheerfulness,  merriment ,  gaiety ,  joy , joyfulness, joviality,  jollity ,  glee ,  delight , good spirits, lightheartedness,well-being,  enjoyment ;   exuberance ,  exhilaration ,  elation ,  ecstasy , jubilation ,  rapture , bliss,  blissfulness I've been reading and praying about the word - happiness - in Scripture, in Christian theological writings and blogs. I'm learning that happiness is not something God

Burn The Ships

Image
The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou

Spiritual Fervor

  We go through our daily routines,  but something is missing. Maybe d uring a crisis or a major life change....            or simply spending less and less time on spiritual pursuits. ...these c an cause us to enter a time in life                          when there's just no enthusiasm or spark. Ha ve you ever been the re before? I have!! There are days when it is difficult to find the drive and zest, even when I know I have the greatest reason to be zealous . Lacking zeal or losing spiritual fervor is som ething that the believer needs to be aware of as he /she progresses in one's spiritual life.  As we grow in our knowledge of Biblical truths and the things of God it becomes quite familiar and the wonder of first discovery can diminish over the years. It is here that spiritual boredom can set in.  Zeal is a fruit of deeply abiding in the One Who is Life! It is different than mere excitement, which happens mostly outwardly and at the surfa
