68th Three Or more - Tuesday...




Welcome to the the 68th 'Three Or More' - Tuesday!!!

Not to be redundant - but I have another tea setting to share this week.



It was not intentional and happened while I was looking
through cupboards for a bowl to make brownie dough.


I spotted my glass teapot that I had received as a gift a couple of years back.
When I remembered that I was also given green tea
that would open up into these neat flowers I had to make some of that tea.


A few more glass pieces came out of the cabinets.


And since Sunday was a rainy, grey day outside,
I thought some flowers,


green tea...


and brownies...



would make it a brighter day in no time.

It sure did!
.

Now, what do you have to share for 'Three Or More' Tuesday?









With this tea themed post I'm also linking to Teatime Tuesday
hosted by Lady Katherine at Lady Katherine's Tea Parlor,
Rhondi's Tea Party Tuesday at Rose Colored Glasses,
Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday and
Wanda Lee's Tuesday Teat for Two at The Plumed Pen.

Please visit Lady Katherine, Rhondi, Marty and Wanda Lee's blogs to see a list of all

This is just beautiful and looks so yummy!

I have been a part of your delightful meme for two weeks and love it!

~ I also warmly invite you to also join me for my for my 22nd, Tuesday Tea For Two, party..,

(It would mean a great deal to me, as I have 'lost ground', so to speak, with regard to health issues and long to join in the wonderful company of the other two Tuesday tea party meme listings!

..,You see, I long to have the energy and strength to invite many more people to my tea's well, and yet, (although thankfully I am recovering), I'm not quite there yet..,

I love these delightful tea parties, as well as so enjoying your, 'Three Or More Tuesday's'!..,

Cheers and hugs from Wanda Lee @ The Plumed Pen

That flower in the tea pot is amazing! I have heard of those but never actually had one.
