To 2019

Ring out wild bells to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 'In Memoriam' A.H.H..(1833)

What a find! After our tea at the Dunbar House, I was asked to stop by the Sandwich Antique Center. I found a terrific Serves "coffee" set with gold cups. Perfect to serve my Marie Antoinette tea from Nina's. Cannot wait to try it!!!
