This is my teacup for this week. I love anything with holly and I think it's really lovely. It's a Queen's
bone china cup and saucer. Don't you adore the little sprig of holly inside the teacup? I like the little ridges around the saucer.Thanks you Miss Spenser for hosting another Teacup Thursday.
One of the things Tasha did on December 6th was to light her advent wreath that she hung. She features it in several of her books about Christmas. This photo is taken from Take Joy. I always have an Advent wreath for the four Sundays of Advent. One candle is lighted each week. Tasha would light all four candles on St. Nicholas Day. This past weekend when I was in Washington, I found the sweetest little vintage Advent wreath in an antique shoppe. I thought of Tasha immediately and had to buy it. I have it hanging now over my table and will cherish it always. I'm not sure if I will really light it! I do like the look of it with the little mushrooms and red candles.I think Jim and I are going to go to a country Christmas sale later today after my bible study. We will celebrate the day differently this year. I'll be doing my Friday Tasha Tudor First Friday Book Review on Friday too, so pop back. Susan, this one's for you!

Dear Linda,
What a beautiful teacup, and fun Advent wreath! Anything with mushrooms is a plus in my book. :)
We put out our shoes and enjoyed our little gifts this morning, plus the big gift of a trampoline. You can guess what everyone spent today doing!
Love,

Hi Linda....Love the advent wreath and the cup, too.
Ohhhhh, if you EVER see "Becky's Christmas" in your travels, think of me. I LOVED that book. Have been on the lookout for it for years and years at used book sales. No luck.
Have a beautiful Friday! Susan
Oh I love that teacup, Linda, so beautiful!...Christine
Hi Linda,
What a pretty holly teacup! I love it! Your Tasha Tudor books sound so endearing and charming. I would enjoy them too. I only have one book which I won in a Giveaway. It is about her life, however there are many of her delightful illustrations throughout the book. Thank you my friend for sharing your lovely Christmas teacup at my HOME. It's lovely to have you join me.
Thank you for praying for my son. It means so much to know that my friends in Blogland are praying for him!
Blessings,
Sandi
