May you always . . .

Hello dear ones,

"May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, Tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you and all your heart might desire."

~ Irish Blessings

While there's tea, there's hope.

~ Sir Arthur Pinero

We wish you the very best, dear friends.  May this New Year be filled with Peace, Joy and Love.

Glory to God in highest heaven,

Who unto His Son hath given;

While angels sing with tender mirth,

A glad New Year to all the earth.

~ Martin Luther

Welcome Home Sweet Friends!

Today's virtual tour is going to be our dining room.  So please come right in.  Our precious Duchess it's waiting to greet you!

We love our furry babies a lot!  They are such a good therapy.

Those doors at the left side were built by my dear husband.  I really love those door and its purpose, but that subject is for another post. ;)

This is our entry . . . so come right up to the dining room.

Enjoy the tour!

This year I added some wine color to the dining room for a change.

Come and share a pot of tea, my home is warm and my friendship's free.

I bought this center piece at Marshalls and the candles came from Dollar Tree, I just added a few touches to it. ;)

New stocking to match with the new color.

Love this St. Nick and the doll below! 

Isabela is sitting at one corner of the dining room for now, but she usually sits in the living room.

A Victorian Christmas Tea ~ Home Tour 2

Hello dear ones,

Merry Christmas and Welcome Back!

Our virtual tour today is going to take place in our living room, where we can sit and relax for a moment, and put all cares away at least for a bit.  Oh! I almost forget to tell you that Sir Rupert is also joining the respite.  So make yourself at home and be jolly!

A Victorian Christmas Tea for you !

Victorian America ~ a time when life was uncomplicated, faith was sincere . . . and love was a gift to be cherished forever.

~Tyndale

I hope you are enjoying your respite with a cup of tea!

I'm reading this four novels,  A Victorian Christmas Tea, and it's so great . . . heartwarming, faith filled collection of original love stories.

I paid a dollar for this lovely angel.  All year long I go to thrift stores and yard sales looking for those rosy colors that are becoming so hard to find lately, plus I like bargains.  ;)

I'm so glad you are here!   Let's take a closer look at the decorations on top of the mantel.

This Olde Saint Nicholas it's been we us for a long time.

These little three bears are a new found for .50 cents.

Our brand new St. Nick

Sir Rupert love to rest and play under the Christmas tree.

I felt in love when I saw those beautiful figurines,  so they came home with me from CTS.

I decorated these small fan like 14 years ago.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!

Here is a peek of what is coming next . . . Can you guess? 

  See you soon!

Thank you for coming over and for all your sweet comments!

Sending blessings from above on your way!

With love,

I'm joining . . .
