A Cup of Rest

 
I just had to show you my new Christmas present-
Our kitchen has very cheap cabinets in it, and they
are falling apart.  So I have a plan to replace them
slowly, and hopefully eventually to have a kitchen
I really love!  Below are the cabinets that were
there before.  Sorry, I didn't clean them off before
I took the picture.  But, you get the idea.
 
 
After several months of watching Craigslist,
I was able to find this pretty solid oak china hutch,
that is just the right size, for only $130!  I was
so excited!  My husband and son were less excited,
since they had to go pick it up and haul it in,
but they love me so they did it.

 
It makes the perfect place to set out our tea service
for this afternoon!  I am looking forward to having
a little tea and fun with Miss E when she wakes up
from her nap.  We are using these "Romantic England"
tea cups by J and G Meakin.
 
 
After several Christmas programs last week,
we have a quieter week this week thankfully.
I do enjoy all the Christmas activities, but it's
also nice to stop for a little while and rest with
a cup of tea, don't you think?
 
 
I hope you can find time to rest
with a cup of tea this week too!
And remember these words of Jesus-
the one whose birth we are celebrating.
 
"Come to me, all you who are weary
and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
 
I am joining Tea Time Tuesday today.

  2. Carmen, my dear, your new hutch is simply wonderful and was made for that space! I am so happy for you and your red tea set looks fabulous sitting there. I think you know how much I love red transferware and it is perfect for Christmas. Yes, the holidays can be a very busy time and it is important to take some time to have a cup of tea and ponder the real meaning of Christmas. His coming has given us salvation as well as a beautiful season to celebrate His birth. Thank you for joining me for tea today and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  6. What a beautiful set of red transferware! Love your new hutch, too! I bought a used one too, painted it white and put it in my farm cottage kitchen. Love how they can hold so many dishes!
