Teacup Thursday #35-December 1st and the Season of Advent
December 1st! I have been decorating my home for days and here it is the first of December. My birthday is next week, so I always try to get the house all ready for Christmas before my birthday. My youngest Gina was born on my birthday, so I do it for her too!
And here we are at Miss Spenser's Teacup Thurssday once again. I decided to feature my December cup and saucer to celebrate the beginning of the season. My husband found it for me during the summer.
I have always loved Advent calendars since I was a little girl. I still give my grown daughters a chocolate one every Thanksgiving to mark the season. This year, they gave me one. I ate the first one with my morning coffee...yummy.
I grew up with the German paper type. All glittery and waiting for the next day. These are my very favorite. I also have a very small one that's newer.
This is a wooden one the I found at the thrift store a few years ago. You turn the date over to reveal the little shape. I live to do it the opposite way.
Of course I have to include my Tasha Tudor Advent Calendar. It's in a book and I never have opened the windows and most likely never will. I am glad to have one in my collection.
I have also loved having a candle Advent wreath to anticipate the coming of the Sweet Baby Jesus. Advent started last Sunday but sadly, I am behind a bit. My wreath is always packed up with my Christmas things and it sneaks up on me. My friend Natalie gave me the wonderful book that I enjoy every year with meaningful daily readings.
So let the season begin! I'm hoping to do a little digital Advent calendar this year on my blog. I hope I can pull it off. Happy Advent to all.

It's living in my tearoom that is all ready for the the Advent season.

Holiday Expo~Vintage Christmas Memories
This is our latest booth! Seems like we've been doing so many shows this year. My girls have been covering the hours at the show for the last three days. I'm so thankful for their work! I thought I was going to have to be there, but my wonderful daughters let old mom off the hook. I've been trying to get my fall stuff down, house cleaned and Christmas up! The booth was mostly mid century and vintage goodies. Lots of stuff but fun stuff!
The most important people in my life-my family!

A Visit to Angie and John's Home on Thanksgiving
Had a nice turkey dinner at Alisa and Marcos' home Thursday afternoon. Everything was so yummy and the family got to meet Eric. I'll be posting those pix on Facebook.
After dinner Jim and I joined Eric and Gina at Angie and John's. It was so fun! They had a champagne toast for Eric and Gina.
We look like the happy "retired" mom and dad! It's going to be so nice to have both daughters married and settled. Jimmy likes to tease-off the payroll!
Gina, Angie and Jimmy...goofing around and having lots of fun together! We enjoyed the kid's friends who stopped by and their Texas company. Robbie...did you get enough chips?
Wish his mom and dad could see this picture of his sister with him. Poor thing, she was so cold here!

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to all my blogger friends, Tasha friends, Teacup Thursday friends and everyone else.
My girls and I set up for a Christmas show yesterday and the girls will man most of the hours over the next two weekends.
We're off to have dinner with my family at my sister's home. My future son in law is driving down from Seattle as I write to meet the family. I'm sure he will be glad when this is behind him and he can just relax with the family! I'm excited to see him again too. I'll post pix of the show booth and the dinner later.
I'm taking a break from most of computer for a bit.
I feel so thankful for the many blessings God has showered on me and my family this year.
Blessings to all as we celebrate today and begin the Christmas season.
A very funny vintage postcard to share...this is for my vegetarian niece Amanda!
Much love, Linda
