"Litera-Tea" ......You've Got Mail!!


Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea.
~Author Unknown~


This is one of my most favorite "Tea Quotes" because who doesn't love....."Tea and Toast???"

When I was a child...and if I were sick.....sometime my Mother would make me "Tea and Toast" for breakfast.
I think this quote shows the imagination of the one who wrote it that could see that you can take some so plain and dream it bigger.


I saw that "Gracious Hospital-i-Tea Blog-a-Thon" was doing a "Blog a thon" in relationship to "Tea" and various "Tea subjects."

I love all those things......"Tea and Tea related items and such" so I thought I would "jump on this bandwagon" today.

Who doesn't like receiving a nice long (or short for that matter)letter in the mail...or a little word of "encouragement" scribbled in some way in a card or a sweet greeting in the mail??

I know I do
.....and I love to send them as well.

I like to send out "Tea cards"....in fact I'm always looking for different kinds of them.

I found a new source for "special" Tea cards about a year or so ago....they have a tea bag right inside of them along with various sentiments and artistic covers relating to whatever you are sending them for.
I hate to reveal this because in fact have some sitting on my desk right now ready to be mailed out to some of you who might read this but.....oh well. Surprise!

I purchase them online from the "Kimberly Shaw Store"
Here is sample of some of her cards....they are really great!



Check out her site, they have always been very kind and accomidating to me and they have some other very precious "tea related" items for sale as well.

If you know of any other cute "Tea stationary" let me know....
Cheers!

Sunday

Busy day today. I'm exhausted. I want to watch some Christmas movies, but I think I will just go to bed instead. Which is wise and best.
I will have plenty of time in the next few days to do so.

We haven't any family here in the area so "Christmas" is just US.

Which is good and well but sometimes, it's also a bit lonely.
Especially with Gabe gone this year.
He will be having "Christmas in Connecticut."
HA! I had to say that at least ONCE!!

Friday night I made 2 batches of the "White Chocolate Fudge" from the recipe that I posted on here a while back. It turned out great.
The cranberries and orange peel along with the pecans make it fabulous and very colorful.

Yesterday before church I made 1 batch of "Peanut Butter Fudge"...ummmm. I just had a couple pieces with a cup of tea.
For some reason....I LOVE having a cup of tea with a piece of fudge.

That is some real......"Comfort and Joy"...not just the tea by that name nor the song either.

Don who tonight has been watching of all things..."Shreik" is having a bit of fudge himself right now. I just took him a little saucer full of both kinds of it. He especially likes the Peanut Butter one.

This all the "Holiday baking" I will be doing.
I'm SO not into it this year.

Miss Priss made only one batch of cookies and that was all. They didn't last long. She's been so busy herself that she hasn't had time to do more. The cookie dough will stay in the freezer I guess.

If you would like a piece of either kind of fudge, please come on over and have a chat and we will be honored to serve you some fudge along with a cup of tea.
Cheers!
