T(ea) on Tuesday

I am joining Elizabeth and Bleubeard for T on Tuesday with a cup of tea... nothing fancy, just plain old breakfast tea.
When I was shopping last week I found this black tin with the Keep Calm logo on it and picked it up to go with the one the one from Bridget in Australia.  The Christmas tree tin is a revolving music box shortbread biscuit tin I got in Marks and Spencers for half price... gotta love a bargain!
I made these two mug rugs for a friend for Crimbo... love that material, perfect for T on Tuesday!
Tree is up and I am ready for Christmas.... well, nearly ready for Christmas.... will be soon... sort of... mayb.... ;)
Will be around to visit the other T ladies after breakfast.....

  10. I love your setting for tea. Pretty. And your tree is lovely, too. I'm thinking those "mug rugs" -cute name- would make perfect gifts. Happy T Tuesday!

  12. Well, dear Annette, I couldn't get much later if I tried. Slept in after being up most of the night.

    Your candles, lit and all, on the table are simply beautiful. I love the holders they are in, too. Of course, the tea and the teapot/cup combo are beautiful.

    That music box tin is out of this world. I'm not sure what Marks and Spencers is, but it sounds like a high end shop. And who among us doesn't LOVE a bargain. I bet even Chris wouldn't complain about that (not that he ever would, anyway).

    Oh wow. I love the fabric in those mug rugs. At first, I thought they were place mats. Either way, they are fantastic and perfect for T(ea).

    Your tree looks so festive. I bet it's good to be home for the first time in years with all the wonderful ornaments and surroundings that make it special.

    Thanks for sharing your tea tins, your teacup (and dining room table), your mug rugs, and Christmas tree with us for T this Tuesday.
