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.
