Pleasure comes from without,
and joy comes from within,
and it is, therefore,
within reach of everyone in the world. ~ Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Welcome to my last Tea Time in 2014! I hope you all had a fabulous holiday with family and friends. I'm sure we have all made some lovely memories this Christmas season and they will keep us warm and cozy during the cold winter months.
I began hosting my tea party five years ago in January because I wanted to share my tea and china collection with you. I was surprised and pleased to learn there were so many like minded ladies out in Blogland who had the same interests. I am so glad I began TTT because I have been blessed getting to know you all. You are my special group of friends!
Now, please join me for a little trip down Memory Lane; some of my teas from the year 2014.

Is there anything prettier than a teacup, a rose, and some pearls?
Pink and a lacy teacup are so pretty together!
An Easter tea with an elegant Aynsley teacup.
My Red Rose Tea with red transferware.
The lilacs were out in June and I love displaying them with my Rose Chintz.
I hosted my Savour the Summer Tea Party with a variety of teacup patterns and some scrumptious desserts.
My Fairies and Lupins Tea.
An Anne of Green Gables tea.
A Cottage Tea.
An end of Summer Pink Tea.
Roses and pearls once again lend a little something special to another gorgeous teacup.
Beautiful blue for November.

I hope you have enjoyed my review and can join me next Monday for a brand new year of Tea Time Tuesday.
Happy New Year my dear friends! May 2015 be happy, healthy, and prosperous in every way that truly matters.
A Tea Time Blessing
Lord, grant that our time together
be steeped in serenity, sweetened by sharing,
and surrounded by the
warm fragrance of Your love. Amen
