First Tea of 2018

Happy New Year!

2018 slogan: We Drink Tea
This cute teacup clock was a Christmas gift that came all the way from Scotland.

My first cup of tea in 2018 was...

"Joy" by Teavana
One of my goals this year is to find joy in the simple things.

My first laugh of 2018: Mariah Carey's hilarious request for hot tea during her NYE performance in sub-zero temperatures at Times Square.  As fellow tea drinkers, we can relate to her reaction:
“I was told there would be hot tea. Oh, it’s a disaster!”

What are your tea goals for 2018?


This week, I'm joining the parties:

  4. I love your clock from Scotland! Very cute in red!! My tea goal this year is to drink more green tea. I used to drink a lot of it and kind of got away from it but I think it's smart to drink plenty because of the health benefits. Finding joy in simple things is a lovely goal to set, Margie. Happy New Year, my friend!

  11. Margie, love that clock! Then that cute "tea disaster" video clip. Then, best of all, "tea goals." I had never thought about my "tea goals," but I will now! :-)

  12. Hi Margie - I love Johnson Brother's Friendly Village and it sure matches our weather outside. That's sure a darling clock! Thanks for sharing.

  13. I love the Friendly Village, and have a hard time passing up any pieces-I may se, but then you can't own them all. Mariah, My goodness if you want to have hot tea, in below zero temps, carry a thermos. Seriously----!

  18. Love the clock! I don't have any 'tea goals' but I did notice this morning that my tea drawer only has about 6 packages of tea which means it's time to restock! I have a local tea provider I buy from. Today I was drinking Russian Caravan and Irish Morning, both black teas.

  19. Happy New Year! And, oh how I love that clock!

  20. Happy New Year! The red clock is the perfect gift for a tea drinker like yourself. Love the name of your tea-Joy. I just read that all of the Teavana stores are slated to close fairly soon. Not sure if that includes the Canadian stores as well.
    My tea goals are to host more simple "tea" get togethers with friends that are not full fledged afternoon tea parties which are quite time consuming to prep. I simply enjoy conversations over tea. I would like to drink more white teas too.

  21. Margie, Love the simple shape of the black teapot. Living simply is a great goal. Enjoy a slower pace and the great things. Happy New Year! Sylvia D.

  22. Happy New Year sweet friend. I love the clock, so very cute. I always make the same resolution, to finish SOME of my unfinished projects. I like Nora' s resolution to have more simple teas with friends. I am adding that one. I already have sweets in the freezer and tea in the cupboard. All I need is to invite some friends. You could send me your clock so I won't be late to my own party. Just let me know when you've mailed it. :-)
