A CHRISTMAS TEA

Let's take a little time-out for a nice cup

of something hot and relaxing...

An area by a large southern window always makes

a nice

spot

to have a

spot

of tea.....:)

....the WHITE CHOCOLATE APRICOT specialty bread

I buy from our market...

...there's no way on earth I could MAKE a bread as delicious as this.

Tea or Spiced Cider ?

...there's egg nog, too...

WINTER SUNLIGHT and SHADOWS

I wanted to share what my sweet, sweet friend, GLORIA at HAPPY TO BE

sent me this last week.

A wonderful GOOSEBERRY COOK BOOK.

I have been teased about being Blogland's

SEMI HOMEMADE

and I love that. :)

Now, this cookbook is all about ALMOST HOMEMADE

and has some delicious sounding recipes in it.

I sure will be sharing with ya'll when I make things from it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, GLORIA.

I love you!

I was blessed to win these FABULOUS earrings a few weeks back

from GRACIE.

Aren't they just beautiful...

This photo, with the CHRISTMAS RED background, isn't showing the true colors..

Oh, yes...this is much better.

THANKS SO VERY MUCH, GRACIE.

I just loooove them!!

Gracie has some beautiful jewelry for sale on her site..

You might go over and check things out. :)

Would you tell her bj said HEY.
