December Daily: Show and Tell Friday

-
Please scroll to the bottom to see my exciting addition to this post!



Today I'll join in with Kelli's Show and Tell Friday for my December Daily post. As some of you may know, last Friday night I was honored to speak at the ladies' Christmas Tea at Greater Vancouver Baptist Church. One of my blog friends, Deanna, took pictures of the tables the ladies decorated, and I want to share those pictures with you (after I get permission to steal her pictures!), but today I want to show you how the ladies blessed me last week.

The ladies of GVBC gave me this beautiful tea-for-one set. It's called Blue Ribbons, from Maxwell & Williams.


At first I didn't understand "blue ribbons" because I was focused on the gorgeous roses, but then I saw the blue ribbon interwoven with the roses. Isn't it beautiful?! I just love it, and I've already served myself my favorite tea from it!


I felt like such a lady of leisure with my own little personal teapot! ;)



Thank you, ladies of GVBC, for opening your hearts to me last week, and for your beautiful gift to me. I will always cherish this little teapot and the memories I made with you last week!


And thank you to Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home for hosting Show & Tell Friday each week!

Edited to add that I just found another piece to this set! I was looking at the other pieces in this pattern on the manufacturer's website, when I noticed that the tea for one set had a saucer with it, but I didn't have a saucer with mine. So I went upstairs and got my box, which I had saved, remembering that it had felt a little heavy for just a box, and looked in it again. At the bottom there was a piece of cardboard that I hadn't noticed before. I lifted it up, and there was my saucer!



Here's my complete set . . . I feel like I just got another gift! LOL

    That is so pretty and how nice you found the saucer. I have a tea for one set that I'm sharing this week on Pink Saturday. Yours is prettier but I like mine too.
    Have a great weekend.

    How beautiful! And, I think Blue Ribbons is the perfect name :). I would have totally not noticed the saucer either. I'm glad you kept the box. Two wonderful gifts! Thanks for sharing with us. Alice

A Week of Modest Dress

Image
The rest of this series can be found at these links: Friday , Saturday , Sunday , Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday . Some ladies around the Blogosphere have been posting pictures of themselves going about their everyday routine in dresses. Many of us ladies wear dresses and skirts all the time, and others have asked how we play with our children, do our housework, exercise, in dresses. Candy decided to show some ladies doing just that on her blog, and asked for ladies to post pics on their blogs too. This kind of thing appeals to me, so I had to get in on the action on this one. I'll post pics each day for a week (if I can keep my son Andrew taking pictures!), and you'll see a little bit of our life as a pastor's family, as well as see how another lady and her daughter (though not so many pics of her - she's camera shy!) live out their conviction of modest dress in their everyday lives. Here I am this morning, as Samuel and I left the house for our walk. I alterna...

Who - or What - Is Your God?

I've read lots of opinions on lots of things during my years online. Wes was a programmer in the US Air Force from 1990 till 1996, and naturally, as e-mail and the internet came into more common use, our family was on the front edge of technology. I remember searching the web for Christian women's sites, and finding very little. After a while, more and more Christian sites began showing up, and I began reading and joining forums. It came to the point that I was reading about lifestyles varying somewhat from my rather mainstream independent Baptist upbringing. Some of it made sense to me, other things were a little far out there for me. None of it was wrong, though, and everyone had Scripture to back up what they believed. The latest thing to hit the internet is the blog. Everybody has one, at least everyone who knows what a blog is! And that includes me, of course. I love blogging. Anyway . . . we all read each other's blogs and it's almost like a parallel soc...

How Do You Respond?

This might get a little preachy, but it's something that hit me square in the face yesterday and I thought it would be a good thing to share. To set the stage: Yesterday morning, Wes and I were getting ready to take the kids shopping down in Bellingham, WA. The Lord has blessed us with an extra bit this month, and the kids and Wes needed some things, so after Andrew and Beth were finished with school, we were planning to head out. I needed to know what Wes wanted to do about lunch and supper, since we'd be leaving right around lunch time and we weren't sure when we'd get back home. I asked him if he wanted me to fix our main meal of the day before we left (which we've been doing recently), and he said no; we'd take some snacks with us. So I was planning what I'd do before we left so supper would be quicker when we got home. He casually said, "I thought we might stop at Red Robin (a restaurant) on the way home," to which I immediately respond...
