T Stands For Year In Review

 

It's time for my annual T Tuesday review.   This post is for T Stands For Tuesday.  If you are here for T Stands For Tuesday only, please link below.  If you are here for both Second on the 2nd and T Stands For Tuesday, please link both places.

January

  In January, I celebrated Chinese New Year.  I am waiting for the water to heat so I can have a cup of Chinese tea.

February

  I celebrated Valentine's Day with a vignette of love, kisses, candles, and a teapot of black tea.

March

   I'm having a bit of early St. Patrick's Day tea.  I received this from my friend Julia of WOYWW fame.  It is from Kew Gardens (in London, England).  The package contained two tea bags and this is the second one.

April

 

  April was all about recycling and this cup of left over coffee.  We named it Leftover Coffee, not because the coffee was left over, but because Bleubeard and I filled the mug with papers left over from other projects, some of which were small, yet fit perfectly on the mug.

May

  I celebrated my birthday, which is the last of April (Earth Day) by being taken to a French restaurant.  The waiter surprised me with this birthday cake.

June

  This was the second time Sharon and I had a play date.  She brought some show and tell items she had made.  You can barely see the mug in the background that reads Class of 95.  Sharon makes lovely items and all are original.  Two are never alike.

July

  It's party time.  Let's celebrate our 10th T Tuesday anniversary.

August

  This is my invitation from PBS to High Tea in September.

 

September

 

  I visited a local restaurant where I photographed a mural and a ton of bottles of alcoholic drinks.

October

  For the entire month of October, we visited The Spice Merchant.  Here the beans are tumbled before they are roasted.

 

November

 

  This month I once again visited The Spice Merchant, but this time on the tea side. Teas are sorted by type in the basket, but you can see the jars of teas in the background with more loose leaf tea. 

 

December

 

  We visited The Spice Merchant every week for T.  This specific week featured puzzles and Christmas inspired mugs.

  

I hope you enjoyed this year's review.  Maybe a few were your favorites, too. 

It's now time to share your own drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, a favorite mug, cup and saucer, teapot, coffee pot, or even a wine glass. Regardless, please join us by linking below.  Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  Please remember to visit your fellow T participants. 

 

I want to repeat, if you are here for T Stands For Tuesday only, please link below.  If your post includes both Second on the 2nd and T Stands For Tuesday, please link both places.
