It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.
I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.
Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.
For those of you that wanted to know what I got hubby for Christmas, here’s what he got. Many years ago hubby gave our granddaughter his Japanese tea set. He’s missed it ever since, so I set out to find a replacement. It had to be a Japanese tea set, not a knock off. I didn’t find anything in this country that would come close, but I did in China, so I purchased it.

This tea set has a travel caddy so he can bring it along wherever he goes. Each afternoon he can brew his tea and enjoy what he loves so very much.
The delight he expressed was most gratifying. I just wonder why it took me so long to think of doing this. I’m most thankful he’s so very happy with his gift.
“Although Japanese sado is originated in China, it has its distinct characters of Japan and unique meaning. Rooted in the daily life, Japanese sado is a comprehensive cultural and art activity combing daily behaviors, religion, philosophy, ethics and aesthetics. Japanese tea culture is famous all around the world and the Japanese Coarse Pottery Tea Set With Bag is its true reflection.”
What are you thankful for today?
Thank you my wonderful Wife for my new tea pot set.
When I gave our Granddaughter my tea pot it was an expression of Grandfatherly affection. When you gave me my new tea set it was an expression of love by Souls bounds together forever. You have reached into my heart and understood my need.
I Love You. Your Loving Husband.
Bless you both. Your loving relationship is so inspirational.
Thank you Darla. He’s a keeper for sure. 🙂
My wonderful husband. I see you made this comment after I went to sleep last night. You’re most sneaky. I’m so happy you love your tea set. I love you my only. 🙂
My Only Forever.
That goes both ways, my love. ♥
What a beautiful gift. I can see from Zanes comment above that he was pleased with his gift.
He was more than pleased and it showed. 🙂
What a wonderful idea. I’m sure he is super happy with his new traveling tea set.
Yes he is and I’m sure it will go along with him to many places and he will be able to enjoy his afternoon tea. 🙂
Nothing says “Japanese” like something made in China.
Isn’t almost everything made in China? It used to be Japan. Remember that? 🙂
I’m so thankful for my family for the gifts that they gave me. The gifts are fantastic but just having them with me is the greatest gift. Having them with me at Christmas Dinner ( I cooked the dinner and I loved doing it ), enjoying dinner together, laughing taking wonderful photos to remember. I’m so thankful.

I’m glad you had a great Christmas, Paul. We did too. 🙂
Awesome, my friend! What a great gift! my family would love that 🤗 ((Hugs))
Thank you, Michelle. Hubby loves it and that’s all that matters. 🙂
That’s a super cool gift and we could feel the smiles from here. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thank you for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I so enjoy participating each week. 🙂
What a thoughtful gift, now I have a strong craving for a cup of good tea.
I hope you have a great cup of tea. 🙂
What a wonderful gift! So much love and thoughtful consideration “poured into” it. I know your hubby will truly enjoy it forever.
I’m thankful that my brother has spent so much time with us over these past few months. He’s my only sibling and my lifetime best friend. I will miss him when he goes home next week. (But his pup will be happy to see him when he picks him up from the sitter’s home.)
Yes he will. I’m glad you had lots of visit time with your brother. 🙂
What a thoughtful gift and I can see from Zane’s comment he is thrilled! Happy Thursday!
He was thrilled indeed. Happy Tuesday. 🙂
Mrs. C gave me a new electric sweeper, a bbq steam cleaner, new slippers and some millipede-bug traps. I got myself a new golf club. Best Christmas ever.
Best Christmas ever is a good thing. 🙂
What a beautiful tea set!
It’s almost the same as his old one, but with lots more wonderful items to enjoy. 🙂

This was such a good idea. He will enjoy it everyday!
I know he will, Viola. It made my heart happy to see how much he loved his gift. 🙂
What a great gift for the man you love! Thoughtful gifts are the ones we all want to receive and I do believe that you have done it!
Sandee you ROCK!
Love Barb
Thank you, Barb. I did good finally. I just don’t know why it took me so long. 🙂
what an incredibly lovely thoughtful and OH SO PRETTY gift! It makes me feel relaxed just looking at it! It’s GORGEOUS! So artistic! Love this gift! Hope hubby gets many, many hours of enjoyment from it and lots of delicious tea! You saw what we are thankful for today, we are truly blessed. Have a wonderful day! xoxoxo
He will. Each afternoon he brews his tea and now he has a tea set that he loves. You have a wonderful day too, Caren, Dakota and Cody. 🙂
I’m so happy for you that you have a wonderful loving husband & that you had such a wonderful Christmas. With love flowing from his heart and yours it makes me think that there’s hope for this world yet. You are definitely deserving of such love & happiness. Hubby & I had our Christmas and home together & we’ll have out Christmas with my children as soon as they find out when they can get the day off. It will probably be next weekend. My youngest daughter will probably come in soon as she gets her time sheet from work. She’s a nurse at an old folks home. Well, I’m off to lay down not feeling to well today. Have a great day! So happy for you! HUGS….. LUV YA!
Thank you honey. I wish you would feel better. You’ve had such a battle. Love you honey. 🙂
I have so much to be thankful for, just wished those thoughts would make it to the heart.Just not getting back to me like I had hoped I would….but I am thankful for my furs…they love me and I love them.
And it shows, Pam. It shows. 🙂
That was a most thoughtful gift. XO
I just can’t figure out why it took me so long. 🙂
Very thoughtful present!! Thank you for sharing and happy holidays to you all!
Pinto xo
Same to you and yours. 🙂
Thankful for a Happy Christmas Day spent with family… New Year blessings to you and yours, dear Sandee!
Lovely way to spend the holidays, Bette. 🙂
Sorry I am so late. That is such a great post. Sure looks like a great tea set. Sandee, you and Zane have a wonderful night.
It’s just what he needed, Marg. I’m so glad I finally figured that out. 🙂
What a fabulous gift! May he enjoy it for many years to come, and may you enjoy watching him enjoy it.
I know he will. He was so very pleased. 🙂
We are happy the stressful holidays are over.
We are happy about it too. 🙂
A beautiful tea set chosen and given in love. Wah! I can see from the comments between you too how much you love each other. Happy holiday!
Yes, we are soulmates for sure. I loved him long before he knew I loved him. 🙂
What a beautiful tea set~looks like you guys had a lovely Christmas. Cheers.
We did indeed. Quiet and peaceful. 🙂
What a thoughtful gift!! ♥
Thanks, Jan. It sure went over very well. I’m so happy about that. 🙂
What a thoughtful and lovely gift! Thank heavens for the internet that makes our world a little smaller and easier to find items like this, right?!
I agree. I couldn’t find this here in the U.S., but China was the ticket. Took a long time to get here, but it was worth the wait. 🙂
That looks like a wonderful gift. I have seen how elaborate those Japanese tea sets can be.
This one isn’t all that expensive, but it’s very like the one he had. He’s most happy. 🙂
