I'm excited to have a teatime post this week--and will have another next week, too, as I'm hosting again! Joy to you as you celebrate the season in Canada--traveling mercies and hope you keep power! Did that nasty little rat get frazzed?<br />Joy!<br />KathyMiss Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535864559101763980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727638102193854145.post-84679155576253417612015-12-22T07:21:59.700-08:002015-12-22T07:21:59.700-08:00I am so happy to see you back connected again.

Someone posted on FB that it was exactly 2 years ago today that we had the ice storm that lefts hundreds of thousands in Ontario without power for days.<br /><br />Your bird collection made me smile. I'm a huge fan of Emma Bridgewater and hope Santa will bring me one of her teacups or teapots one day. Hee!

I love those birds too. We lost our power last night for four and a half hours. It's no fun at night in the wintertime on the east coast without power for any length of time. I'm glad I wasn't in the middle of making my donuts when it happened! Those will get made either tonight or tomorrow. Enjoy your Christmas in Victoria and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, dear friend!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Sandi Sandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727638102193854145.post-76739054963025692452015-12-21T19:20:30.235-08:002015-12-21T19:20:30.235-08:00Oh I just love your birds - cups and real ones.

Sill...Hi Ruth, so glad you're up and at'em! Silly ol' rat! Cute post with all the birds. You know the robin has a few legends for why it has a red breast don't you? One is connected with the tradition of the burning of the Yule log during the 12 days of Christmas. The robin was believed to have first carried fire to the earth, thus its connection to the Yule log. As the story goes, in the process the robin singed its breast and forever after had a red breast. <br /><br />And for those who preferred the religious connection, the robin was said to have plucked a thorn from Christ's crown, accidentally pricking its breast and staining it forever. <br />So whatever the belief, the robin could not be omitted from the Christmas decorations of the Victorians. <br />Thanks so much for hosting and have a blessed and happy Christmas!<br />GinaGina @ VictorianWannaBehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760792910318303400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727638102193854145.post-83325604107752125952015-12-21T18:56:54.361-08:002015-12-21T18:56:54.361-08:00Those mugs for the birds are gorgeous and that cak...Those mugs for the birds are gorgeous and that cake, well, yummyyyyy!!!!!<br />Thank you for hosting yet again, such a lovely tea party.<br />Merry Christmas and many blessings.<br />FABBYFABBY'S LIVINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027781738558115533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727638102193854145.post-39665895988917229842015-12-21T18:44:24.159-08:002015-12-21T18:44:24.159-08:00Dear Ruth:

For months now our computer screen would just go black and then come back on after a while. It was driving us crazy so we finally went and bought a new screen. Honestly, it's wonderful when things work and when they don't - oh boy! Your cake turned out wonderful. You are the 3rd person I've seen using one of these and it is very special. I have never seen one. What a great cake. All those mugs are darling and I always love the Red Robin and the legend. I wish you a Merry Christmas Ruth!Bernideen https://www.blogger.com/profile/12800285614494064098noreply@blogger.com
