T(ea) stands for a Thanksgiving tradition that came early this year

Today is the final T Tuesday during AEDM.  I know some of you have wanted to join in, so now is your chance.  Although we hold this fun tea inspired event every Tuesday (as I've mentioned in the past, it actually goes live on Monday in my part of the world, but it may be Tuesday in yours), this is the final week it will be featured on AEDM, a month long event I'm also participating in.

Because I'm not big on "rules," I ask only that you please mention you are linking to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's T Stands for Tuesday, as well as any other meme (like AEDM) you participate in today.  Also please make the post relevant.  Unless you're participating in AEDM, your photos don't have to be shot on Tuesday, but please use your direct URL post when you link below, not just your blog address.

Every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I use these dishes.  They belonged to my grandmother, who had several beautiful sets of dishes far more elegant than these, but these were her favorite for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The pattern is called "Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe," and I have shown the entire set on my blog before.  In a way, they really DO remind me of these two holidays, so I continue the tradition.

I'm waiting for the water to come to a boil, then I will add the tea bag of Therapeutic Mint Tea.  It sounds wonderful and was sent to me by Marianne at Ruff Haven.

When I removed these photos from my camera, I was shocked that I had not taken a photo of the tea laden with half and half.  I was sure I had, but the photos were nowhere on the card.  My apologies, but you need to know this tea not only tasted good, it smelled like heaven in a bag, too.

So, please don't forget to photograph what you are drinking or arting today.  Then link below and enjoy visiting our small community of T(ea) Tuesday participants.





Today is also Day 26
of AEDM.
