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.

Good Morning My Dear Lady Linda,It was nice spending the morning with you.I need to find a teacup I haven't posted before.I ran out of cups and pots not posted.I just shouldn't buy one more,you see I said shouldn't TeHe.Happy Birthday to you and your daughter.The Lord bless you all year long-Denise
Dear Lady Linda - so lovely a teacup and even more of a trip down memory lane with the advent calendars. I only remember having one or two in my youth - not a financial priority in our frugal house - but Christmas morning always was sweet and plentiful for this little girl - no matter how modest when I look back now. The wooden one from the thrift is a nifty find! Happiest of Birthdays to you - just a week early!
Joy!

Happy Birthday to you. I love your December tea cup so very pretty. You brought back many a memory with your Advent calendars. I am thinking of a wreath as a center piece this year. I havent had one in a few years. Cheers. LJ
Lovely, Linda. Everything looks great. I love advent calendars, too. Jacklyn Lawson has a beautiful one on the Internet. My daughter received it from someone and it's so enchanting.
Take care. Susan
