Downton Abbey England trip sweepstakes
Changing gears, I'm back to Valentine;s Day thinking. We will be in Victoria, BC just before the day for the Victoria, B.C. Tea Festival. The Black Ball ferry, The Coho, that takes us from Port Angeles 10 miles away to the Victoria Inner Harbour is in drydock for it's annual beauty treatment & doctor's visit and will be out the day the festival starts...Feb.12th. Our 37th wedding anniversary is the 16th so it's a combined trip, really.
Those are our Olympic Mountains in the back of the Coho from Olympic National Park. Anyway, we anticipate a great 2 days at the festival and I will post photos when we return.
I wanted to share this cute little heart shaped porcelain Delft trinket box at Antiques And Teacups with a courting or hugging couple on the top. I thought it was so cute!
The Delft box is unusual as well because the coloring is polychrome rather than the usual just blue and white...not that I mind...I love any color as long as it's blue!

So have a great Saturday, I hope you keep warm...we're partly cloudy and in the 50s and have a cup of tea with a friend. Tomorrow's a big day if you are an American football fan. My DH will be watching (although English football (soccer to Yanks) is more his thing. He's watching Man Utd play at the moment. Smile...and...
Cheers!
