Reminiscing at the Holidays (Favorite Hostess Gift Ever)
This is my 15th year throwing my annual Holiday Party. It's always on the same weekend each December. Each year as I prep for it I rip apart my house and remember my year, my friends and all of my wishes and dreams for my family, friends and self.
Last year, I received my favorite hostess gift ever! It was loose tea and loose tea bags!! I'll never forget the gift or the guest who brought it. I'm not a big written thank you person ( another blog post) yet, I had to write a note to this friend and tell her how special this was.
Not only was it a thoughtful gift for a hostess to enjoy the day after the party--it was a perfect gift for me! I love loose tea. I love strong tea, 'Irish coffee' as my grandmother used to call it (slight brogue and all). Although I didn't see this grandmother often she was the sewer in my family and instilled her love of handwork to me. My other grandmother was the fashion lover. She supported and encouraged me from the earliest age to pursue my love of color, fashion and art. Both of my grandmothers had tea everyday!
So this seemingly simple gift was actually so touching and memorable that I think of it, and my friend who gave it to me, every single day when I open my tea cabinet!
