Good bye 2022, Welcome 2023!

 A New Year is about to begin!   So many events happened this year, many bad things, so much destruction of our country, so many good people died!  We need a fresh start, we need hope! I want to learn from the bad things and remember all the good things.   I'll start by celebrating National Hot Tea Month all during January. Here is a recap of last year's teatime posts, from the Facebook page "Grandma Linda's Vintage Treasures", as I have been so negligent about writing this blog. 




Stangl Pottery

From our favorite restaurant's cafe 

very old blue transferware, from a great-great  grandmother


Last January's Happy 91st Birthday to my mother, our "Queen Elizabeth"
                        She's getting ready to turn 92!  Born January 24, 1931.  Doesn't she look great?



January 21, my DIL's  Anne's birthday 

Pioneer Woman china at Walmart

My MIL's everyday china, Noritake Homecoming 
Now my daughter Julie has it. 





On a trip, I made sure to have my tea, while we were at Ted's favorite rest stop.

At my store I have a strawberry collection, so I had some strawberry tea 






My granddaughter always enjoys tea with me. She has a couple small teapots of her own.  

Recipes too, on the tea month posts!  Make sure to join me all month long
on my Facebook page Grandma Linda's Vintage Treasures



Julie's Fiesta-ware tea mug and a gorgeous antique plate



Another fave of mine- brown transferware, Made in England



  •                   It's tea time and a vignette at my store,  a milkglass vase                              
  •                    and Depression Glass Opalescent plate.
There's no place like home, with my favorite everyday dishes
 and my red kettle from our dear friend Bob Sertell

Our kids, Anne and Andy have a wonderful Raggedy A & A collection

Christmas china, tea with my granddaughter,  Miss Emilie

Betty White having tea with her mother.
 Sadly we lost our beloved Betty White, at age 99,  Dec 31, 2021. 
 Her birthday was January 17,  and she would have been 100. 




In memory of Queen Elizabeth, Meatloaf, Olivia Newton John, Naomi Judd, William Hurt, Sidney Poitier, Mickey Gilley, Bobby Rydell, Mickey Gilley, Barbara Walters, Kirstie Alley and many others who left us, who will always be fondly remembered. 

     Have a blessed New Year!
