First of all, I want to thank everyone who participated in my give away! I was so pleasantly surprised and delighted by the response, and I enjoyed reading all your comments and visiting your blogs. If you are new to my blog I hope you will continue to visit me as I would love to get to know you better. It was also wonderful to meet readers who do not have blogs, and I want to remind everyone that I have my e-mail address listed in my blog profile, if you ever want to comment to me that way.
It is a pleasure to give this Christmas teapot away in the spirit of giving for the season....
... and I hope the tea will give you a warm and happy feeling as you drink it. It really is delicious and one of our favorite holiday blends.
I wrote out every entry (and multiple entries if you qualified) for the Lenox china "Holiday Gatherings" teapot, on slips of papers, folded them up, and placed them in a bowl, and my husband closed his eyes and reached into the bowl and chose......

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway you had!
ReplyDeleteI've been off blogging for a couple of months and I had to drop in and say hello. What a wonderful evening you must have had at the opera. When I lived in California we would often attend the opera, ballets and plays. I don't do that much in Florida and I miss it so.
Those vintage toys that you saved are just wonderful, how special your adorable grandson will get to play with them. We had such a large family that everything got handed down to cousins and there is nothing left. You did an amazing thing!
Congrats to Cori! What a sweet prize! And so much fun to play! AND I love your new blog header! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Cori. I know she must be so excited.
ReplyDeleteI sure would have loved to have been at the opera with you last night.
Yay! I won!! I won!!! Thank you so much Pat and Vinnie for pulling my name out of the bowl! It's such a beautiful tea pot and I'll always cherish it and think of you (my first bloggy sister) whenever I use it for tea. Hubby and I used to have a tradition where I served tea everyday at 4 and I think I'll start it up again for the Christmas Holiday so I'll be able to use your tea pot as often as possible. Thank you sweet dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI think I've had the Gingerbread Tea before and it's delicious!!!
Love, Cori
Oh the Opera...how fun!!!
Congratulations to Cori! Lucky girl :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your foot is broken Pat! I hope it heals fast.
I can't believe how big Leo is now!! So glad you are able to spend time with him and I think he's going to love all those toys you saved. I remember ALL of them myself LOL
(((hugs)))

Congratulations to Cory. Such a pretty prize. In answer to question..I was born and raised in Ozone Park, Queens but I have been living in Central Texas for 4 years now. Miss so many things about NYC...ethnic restaurants, bagels, Drakes Cakes, Mallowmars, and especially the quirkiness of all who hail from there! Thanks for popping over to my blog.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Cori what a beautiful giveaway Pat, I am sorry I missed this post :-(.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful time at the opera, we were lucky enough to spend time at Torre del Lago and Lucca, so pretty. I think Puccini is my fave, I will have to check the schedule at SFO, we are due a visit.
Looks like you are having a lovely start to December and thanks for your wonderful welcome back, big hugs, Kathy
Your lovely teapot will feel right at home at Cori's house. I must go visit Brambleberry Cottate and congratulate her on winning.
ReplyDeleteI bet the Metropolitan Opera was fabulous!
Congrats to Cori! That's a beautiful teapot, which reminds me, I have to buy more Celestial Seasonings tea. We're all out of it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the latest header. The (NYPL)lion certainly looks dressed up and ready for the holidays. ;-)
I trust that your foot continues to feel better.
