In Retrospect

December is an emotionally charged month. It's a month of dreams and anticipation, but also of stress and maybe even loss. But the last month of the year, is not only about Christmas and the running up to it, it's also about looking back, recapping the year. Remembering the good things, learning from the bad.

The other day I started rumbling through the Christmas decorations. All of a sudden my little girl said: "See snow!". She pointed at the snow globe I bought for her last year and I was really touched by the fact that she remembered it from last Christmas, she was only 1 1/2 years old then! It made me think about last year, my hopes and anticipations for this year.

I also remember my first collection of Tea. I still especially adore their Fall collection from 2006. We still have some items left.
