many thanks to Kimmie and all of the special T Tuesday bloggers…
and to each of you lovely visitors for stopping by and helping make Tuesday’s extra fun each week…
at first I worked on a 16 photo sampler…
just as I was deciding on photo #16…
with 15 photographs carefully chosen and in place…
something went haywire and I had to start all over again…
second time around I opted for a quick arrangement of the above nine pics…
there were lots of photos to choose from as I do believe I may have posted every week this year…
I certainly do enjoy having you all stop by…
my wish for each of you is a peaceful new year full of Love and Hope…
with plenty of time to enjoy the things that bring you joy and fulfillment…
may your cup always be half full…

Stunning. Every vignette brings the viewer into the photo and entices everyone who sees these to drink tea on Tuesday. I almost did a recap, but since I have no idea how to put all those photos together like that, I’ll just say “great job,” and tell you how much you inspire me.
Love, hope, peace, fulfillment, good health, and joy to you, my dear friend!

Gorgeous pictures, I love the shape/design of your Lily of the Valley teacup and the glass/tumbler with the bluebird on it. I think I spy a little piece of Scottish shortbread there in your last pic too (I’m posting from Scotland) – I love to dunk it in my tea. Not very elegant of me I know LOL!
