Gifts to Me from Me!

While shopping for others at Christmas, I bought a few treasures for myself! ;-)  Life has been so busy I haven't had a chance to look at them yet.  I love Hoffman Media books and magazines, so I know I'll enjoy these over a cup of tea.



Every recipe in the book below has an accompanying color photograph.  It came from Barnes and Noble.



I'm getting anxious for Season VI, episode 1 of Downton Abbey on January 3rd.  Hubby and I made a trip to World Market today [in Ann Arbor] where I purchased the items below. Their Downton Abbey shelves were practically bare.  I was unable to obtain Mrs. Patmore's Blueberry Scone tea, Black Currant jam, Christmas Preserves, and Orange Marmalade, but I was able to order online Downton Abbey Legacy Tea and The Butler Blend.


With the exception of Mrs. Patmore's Blueberry Scone tea, I think I have all the other Downton Abbey teas blended by Republic of Tea.  


A blog photo [below] was sponsored by World Market.  You can access the blog here. Doesn't it look like a fun tea party?

and Bernideen's Tea Time Blog for Bernideen's Cottage and Garden Blog Party

  1. I,m sure you will enjoy the lovely books and delicious goodies. I bought a jar of mince pie filling at World Market earlier this month but have not made the pie yet. Downton Abbey Christmas Tea is delicious, I have not tried the other flavors yet. Enjoy!

  5. I went to World Market today since they were having a 30% off sale on Downton Abbey products and got the set of 2 Christmas teas. And had an extra 10% coupon on top of that. Yay! In a couple of months, I'm having a Farewell to Downton Abbey Tea. I'm glad you included that blog about the tea party because I have lots of little Union Jack flags and I got the idea from that to make a banner.
    Victoria's Teatime Classics is always a beautiful magazine.
