Just a Few Tea Cups and Why I was MIA!!

  You may have noticed that it has been a week since I did a new post......

The reason for that is that I have been slowly taking down Christmas, organizing everything, packing it all away using new tubs and new plastic ornament boxes that we bought this year, labeling the tubs as to what is in them and then marking everything down in my Christmas Planner.
My One Little Word for this year is Wellness and this is an example of Environmental Wellness which means promoting wellness by having an organized and de-cluttered environment.
I have not been stressing myself out by being in a big hurry to put away Christmas.because I want to make it much easier for me to decorate for Christmas next year . And I may be part time but I still work 4 days one week and 3 days the next week.
 
I have the Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen now back to normal. I will now take Christmas down in the Den and then start my Winter inside decorating and then my Valentine's Day decorating!
And truth be told, I have also been battling a few health issues over the past 2 weeks. I thought I had a Sinus infection which was making me a bit miserable and then I developed a toothache.
I was working and with a staffing shortage in my department, I did not want to take any time off which would cause some one to be mandated to stay and work 16 hours from the previous shift so I went to work as scheduled....
Until yesterday when I thought I would die with pain so I went to the dentist and in a half hour had a tooth pulled and amazingly, my sinus problems have disappeared!!

This now starts a process that I also mentioned in my post about my One Little Word. There are certain health issues that I have put off in taking care of and honestly, my teeth has been one of them so now I have started the journey to healthier teeth.

I want to Thank Richella, over at Imparting Grace, for featuring this post on My One Little Word, from last week's Grace at Home party!!
Thanks so much , Richella , for your kind words and for the feature!!

Please stop by and link up to this gracious party!!

You have been looking at photos of the Hutch in my Living Room in which I have displayed some of my Angel Collection and my Iris and Herringbone Depression Glass.....

Now I want to share some of the Tea Cups in my Dining Room......

I know I have done this before but for lack of anything new right now to share, I thought I would revisit this collection.....
 This is the shelf above the buffet in the Dining Room......
 I am going to let the pictures do the talking.....
This is the shelf above the door way into the Kitchen......
   Another Shelf......
  The top of one curio.....
On a table.....
I hoped you enjoyed looking at some of the tea cups in my Collection......

They bring a smile to my face when I look at them!!

Some are new and most are vintage, bought at yard sales and flea markets for a few dollars each.....

And here is the Tree in the Dining Room waiting to be decorated for Valentine's Day!!
 I am excited to decorate for Valentine's Day as I have not done so in 2 years.......

I am off for 3 days now and feeling better so I hope to get a start on Winter and Valentine's Day decorating!!

I will be keeping up my Valentine's Decorations until the end of February......

So I hope you will come by and visit  again!!

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

If you do not have a blog, PLEASE  give me some way to reply to your comment, maybe by including your email in your comment.  If I can not find a way to reach you, I will reply on the post where you commented so please check back......

Hugs,
