Completing a collection

 

I was so happy to find a box with an eBay label on it land in my mailbox this week. Why?

I'd been collecting these Hallmark Keepsake Tea Time ornaments by Tracy Larsen since they first appeared in 2016. Last year, however, the local store sold out of the Tea Time ornaments before I could buy them. Amazon was sold out, too, I believe, and when I looked on eBay, they were selling for much more than the original price. I decided to wait.

When I started pulling out ornaments this year, I remembered that I was missing the 2020 Tea Time ones, the final set in the series, so I looked on eBay again last week, finding them this time for just $7.95, still new in the box!

Collection completed! (And Tracy Larsen and Hallmark, please design some more of these cute teapot and teacup ornament sets!)
