600th Post and a Giveaway!

Today marks my 600th post since I began blogging on January 24, 2012.  Just for fun I hastily categorized the topics I've written about: 
  • Teas and Tea Reviews
  • Tea Equipage [Tea Chests, Caddies, Tables, Curate Stands, etc.]
  • Tea Education
  • Tea Parties and Theme Teas
  • Michigan and Out-of-State Tea Rooms
  • Hotel Afternoon Teas 
  • 2012-2014 Movies that Include Tea 
  • TV Series With Tea 
  • Recipes suitable for Tea Time
  • Tea Travels 
  • Michigan Destinations/Places
  • Holidays 
  • Celebrated People and Tea
  • Family and Special Occasions
  • Devotions and Sunday Reflections
  • Tea Clothing/Fashions
  • Tea Jewelry
  • Department Stores and Tea
  • China/Dishware for Tea Time [Transferware, Depression Glass, etc.]
  • Teacups/Teapots/Trivets
  • Silver Tea Equipage
  • Antique Stores/Malls and their Teawares
  • Tea-themed Figurines
  • Tea-themed Stationery and Cards [Birthday and Christmas]
  • Tablescapes
  • Tea Books and Magazines
  • Tea Towels
  • Tea-themed Lighting
  • Blogging Friends 
  • Historical Events 
  • Giveaways 
Sometimes I wonder what's left to write about, but something always surfaces. Having my own blog has given me the deepest gratitude and respect for bloggers who have been blogging for years.  Only a blogger knows the level of commitment and time required, and the gratification it provides.

A heartfelt thanks to all my followers and readers.

So here's my 600th post giveaway - a hard-cover, spiral bound cookbook with a year of theme teas and recipes to go with the themes, and a pair of Avon gold tone teacup pierced earrings. 



The giveaway is open to all my blog followers and faithful readers residing in the U.S. and Canada. Simply leave a comment between today and Sunday that you would like to participate in the giveaway, and I'll announce the winner on Monday morning, June 2nd. Good Luck!
