Postcard from Paris

-
I have always wanted a postcard from Paris - There is something so romantic and nostalgic about receiving a postcard from Paris. Don't you agree? 

Well, this year, my wish came true! I have a dear friend, Kaya, who lives in Germany ~ Kaya and her family went to Paris to celebrate New Years. (Doesn't that sound like fun!?) I have to admit, I had a hard time not being jealous, but luckily she sent me many pictures of her trip and it was 'almost' like being there! And best of all, look what she sent me! It was a total surprise to find it in my mailbox - I was not expecting it!! As you can imagine, I was over the moon excited to hold my very own "Postcard from Paris!"  Thank you so much Kaya!!

    Really you must go to Paris for tea time. The card is lovely, as is the teacup.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis. They hold many found memories of teatime with my mom! May you have a blessed Christmas!! Other's Who Are Participating in Teacup Thursday! The Hope Chest Rose Chintz Cottage Antiques and Teacups
