Advent Tea with Friends ... December 6th ❤

Hello and Happy Tuesday, my friends! Thank you so much for joining us for 4:00 teatime. :)

As discussed in yesterday's post, I'll be sharing readers' favorite cups and mugs here every day (or so) throughout Advent, and returning on Fridays with my own Advent Tea post. Everyone who participates is entered in my "Winter Comforts Basket" giveaway (a random collection of little wintertime comforts & joys to be mailed out after the new year.) On New Year's Eve I will announce the basket winner!

If you'd like to join us, please read more at this post - but for now, let's stop by Angie's for a wee hot cuppa! ☕️

"Here is my favorite kind of cup - so simple, just a glass mug, because I like to see what I'm drinking. I'm from the Pacific Northwest and a coffee girl at heart, so that's what you'll find in my cup most of the time. I do like a cup of peppermint tea occasionally, especially if I'm under the weather. I think hot drinks are one of my favorite parts of the winter season - so yummy and comforting."

 

What a lovely tea spot, Angie! I love glass cups and mugs - I had a favorite glass mug for many years (technically it was Crackerjack's, a monogrammed gift he received when he served as ring bearer in my cousin's wedding) and it was such a nice size and weight. Plus I really loved seeing the contents! I must say, that's a nice head of foam on your coffee, Angie! How do you do that? And what kind of coffee do you like? We use a combination of Peet's and Dunkin Donuts in our morning coffee ... :)

 

Well my friends, thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed our teatime with Angie! Please drop a note if you have a moment and remember to send me your own favorite cup when you have a chance! (drhanigan AT gmail DOT com) I'll look forward to hearing from you ... ❤

 

See you all tomorrow at teatime!

Advent Tea with Friends ... December 5th ❤

Hello and Happy Monday, my friends!

Today I am kicking off a little something new - well not really new for my blog, but new for this year! As you all know, I am running a "Winter Comforts Basket" giveaway this month, and all you have to do to enter is share with me a picture of your favorite hot beverage cup (or mug). The winner of the basket - a random collection of little wintertime comforts & joys - will be announced here on New Year's Eve!

I shared the first few pictures I received last week in my Friday Advent Tea post, but I thought - how about I post all these lovely pictures in their own separate posts? So I'm reviving "Advent Tea with Friends" and will be sharing YOUR pictures here every day at the blog - roundabouts teatime (aka 4 p.m.) More details at the end of this post ... :)

But for now, let's drop in at Denise's for a hot cup of cocoa ...☕️

 

"Sitting down to a planning time afternoon
tea, or as is the case today, hot cocoa, when I saw that you had an
afternoon post up ... :)

I can not have a favorite!  I don't have a Christmas/wintry tea cup. I am
still looking for just the right one, as I take Mom flea marketing (those
trips are getting fewer, sadly). But this is the one I used today. It is
actually the cup I use most during the autumn season. :) And I actually
think it 'belongs' to my grand-twin boy. They each have a favorite they
have claimed.

The lighting is terrible, but if I hadn't taken a photo then, I would not
remember to do it! Where I sit in the afternoons, here in front of the
south-facing windows, is so warm! Geese had flown overhead, leaving our
pond & heading to feed & slumber maybe, at the empty soybean field just
west of us, I would imagine. I have these swivel 'talking chairs' as my
husband dubbed them. So, I can swivel to look outside, or look at the
Christmas tree, or the fireplace, or turn all the way around and look at
the grands at the table.

Thanks for asking to see our cups!  This is going to be fun!

Have a blessed season!"

*❤*

Thank you so much for sharing, Denise! Your teatime - or cocoa time as the case was here - sounds so nice!  Planning time teas are so wonderful - "working teas" I call them! :)

So remember dear readers, to join in our Advent Tea fun, please send me a picture (as many as you wish) along with a description and your thoughts on tea (coffee, cocoa or whatever you prefer) by emailing me at drhanigan AT gmail DOT com. Throughout Advent I will share "tea with friends" here at the blog every day (or so) roundabouts 4:00 p.m. Then on each Friday I will put up my usual weekly tea post - this coming week my theme is "Peace and Plants."

Enjoy the rest of your Monday, my friends! See you here again very soon ...
