Carrot River's Christmas on Main

It's not too early to talk about Christmas, is it?  Well, maybe!  I just hope I don't jinx the weather and bring snow this way.  If the changing seasons have got you down, what's better than putting your thoughts toward some Christmas cheer?  A cup of tea can help boost those spirits too.

Put the pot on and plan for a day out to celebrate the season.  Wednesday, November 26th is Carrot River's annual Christmas on Main celebration and Adelle's Tea House will be open.  Mark it on the calendar and stop on by while you're out and about.

"Help Carrot River kick off the Holiday Season with late night shopping, activities and a bon fire by the big Christmas Tree!"

Cuppa Cheers to Adelle's

I'm enjoying soothing Earl Grey tea this nippy Saturday morning, thinking of my lovely Aunt.  Today is a special day for her and I'm curious what has her busy.  The phone is there, yet with sleeping babe in my lap and tea in hand, I reflect quietly instead, devoting this post to her.

It's been around five years since my Aunt Audrey has provided Carrot River, Saskatchewan and area a taste of loose leaf teas.  I haven't visited the tea house as much as I'd have liked and I hope that I am destined to enjoy it's walls more often in the future. 

Thanksgiving is approaching and I'll get to speak with my Aunt then.  I am eager to share with her my enthusiasm for tea, find out when her Autumn Teas or Christmas Teas will be for 2014 and to listen to her adventures to the Doll Show in Edmonton from a couple of weeks ago. 

Dolls are one of my Aunt's charming hobbies, one I share with her fondly, though I tend to gravitate to '80's figurines and stuffed animals from t.v. programs.  :)  If we're lucky, my Aunt will share her treasured doll collection in a Special Tea at her tea house.  It has happened before.  Perhaps I may even host a tea someday to show off my own collection!  (No promises, ha ha.)

Anyway, on this 11th day in October, I sip tea and muse about a dear lady.  Tea is a wonderful drink to share while out with friends and family, but it's also great company for my thoughts.  Though it may not be a toasting drink, it still makes me feel like spreading good cheer.

To Aunty and to Adelle's Tea House and Treasures, may the future realize many dreams, fueled by a cuppa our favorite loose leaf teas.  Mmmmm...  indeed, one more thing for which to be thankful!
