Happy 15th Blog Anniversary to Me!

Day 1 English Ironstone Tableware, my everyday favorite china

Wow, another year has gone by. We're having a huge winter storm and it's probably a blessing because I wouldn't be finding the time to write on my blog, or even remember that today's my blogging anniversary if I wasn't stuck inside! It's my mother's birthday! It is 2 years since she went to be with Jesus.   We had a big post-holiday celebration to remember her, with our favorite foods, lots of laughing, singing and a fun time playing games, which she always loved. We all miss her so much, even though we know she's in heaven, I'm still saddened about losing her. The grief doesn't go away! 

                                                                                      

I am celebrating National Hot Tea Month again too! It's fun for me and I often post from my store where I have some pretty teapots and tea related stuff. It's so comforting to take a break, and sit and sip some tea! Check it out on my Facebook page, Grandma Linda's Vintage Treasures.   Here's a preview of a few of the tea things I posted, in no particular order.
