The Year in Tea 2013

My year in review is usually just in tea posts.  I love having tea and photographing it so it is the one thing I do regularly on the blog to review.  Here it goes:  for January I shot my tea with a new prop in Tea & Barnwood.

In February I shared some tips on Icing the Cake.

I have done a lot more cooking this year and in March I shared a breakfast muffin that was gluten/wheat free in A Little Tea for Breakfast.

In April, I was looking ahead to what I could read to my youngest for summer break in Summer Reading with Boys.

I am the proud owner of a complete set of tea cups, mugs, and dessert plates from the Royal Doulton Brambly Hedge pattern.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, the Brambly Hedge china pattern is created from the adorable illustrations that went along with the children's story by the same name.  This story originated in the UK, written by Jill Barklem, and is based around a little community of mice living in the English countryside.  So, for May I had tea with the spring mug and dessert plate in More Brambly Hedge.  I have never shared this but, the illustrations and the story are a favorite of mine because I grew up in KY picking blackberries from a brambly hedge of our own on the farm and I raised a pet mouse I found as a child and kept him for several years.  That freaks my husband out because he hates mice. Ha!  

I am getting quite a brambly hedge of my own in the form of roses and they were in full bloom in June in Flower Therapy.

You can not have a summer go by without a Mad Tea Party and in July I had my favorite little girls join me this year in Mad Tea Party '13.

I really do have some of my own blackberries in the back yard and I enjoyed photographing them in August in Berry Season.

In September I said goodbye to summer in Goodbye Summer Tea.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness for the month of October I had A Pink Tea.

I discovered a new green tea that I love and was searching through vintage cookbooks in November in  Autumn Mornings.

In December I made some White Chocolate Peppermint Scones in Christmas Tea 2013.

So, there is my review in tea posts.  I am having tea all through 2014 too, usually on Tuesdays stop by and join me for a cuppa!
