Tea Stands for Tuesday - 12/1/15

Here we are on the first day of December.  That signals holiday shopping time for me.  I do pick up a few things as I see them during the year and this year I've knitted quite a few gifts.  December 1st means I need to get serious though as some things have to go in the mail.

Lets do some window shopping to get started.



This is a gift bag that was in the window of a book/paper store.  I think any of us posting here would like to receive a present in this bag.




Clothes seem to be staying in the black/gray/white range




How about a pair of boots?  I'm sure someone would like the brown ones with all the embroidery.



Last, but not least, here's a beautiful hand thrown pottery teapot.  That should please anyone in the Tea Tuesday group.

Be sure to visit the Tea party going on over on Elizabeth's blog.  Bring your drink of the morning and tell us what you are doing on the first day of December.

  2. That color scheme is right up my daughter's alley, but I much prefer a little more color myself, I could totally wear those embroidered boots!

    Hope you have a lovely T Day!

  7. Hello December,
    I feel s o bad for not commenting for ages. But this time I definitely wanted to. You are right. Christmas is around the corner and your picks are attempting. Liking the ever going on color scheme, the gift bag and unique pottery.
    We do minimal gift exchanging over here, Mariel and Molly will be remembered.
    We grown-ups will just enjoy the leisure time : ).

  10. Thanks for taking me window-shopping :) I like the bag best. I guess clothes don't catch my eye like they once did now that I have so many in the closet. But those boots! I might make an exception for them ;)

  17. Good window shopping, Darla. Yes, I'd love that gift bag with the fox - It would look good under my Christmas tree. Those black/white/grey clothes are everywhere here too. Suddenly the bright stuff looks all wrong...

  18. Oh wow, Darla. I love that bag. It is the perfect thing for today's post. That teapot was adorable, too.

    The clothes remind me of ones I saw in the Mall when Kathy was here. Only theirs were mostly browns and beiges, because they were showing Thanksgiving items.

    Thanks for taking us shopping with you for T this Tuesday. It was a fun outing.

  19. Well those boots certainly make up for the neutral colours of the clothes!!! I love the little bag - much more charming than the usual cheesy present bags.

    That gift bag is so cute- reminds me of graphics from the 60's and early 70's.
