a la recherche du temps perdu

"oh look we have created enchantment"  aka Teacup Tuesday invites us to make little vignettes showing off our teacups.  well, although i am a hoarder of pretty things and a peddler by chosen profession, i only have a very few teacups so had to actually buy this mug at kmart while i was shopping for wrapping tape for my sold packages.  teacups have become collector's items and some are quite pricey so i will have to get very creative in the future to continue our teaparty soirees.  thank goodness this set was very affordable as in "on sale" in the country living aisle.  i was ecstatic, i would be able to post again after a skipped week.  the towel was a special farewell gift from my friend maria cecilia who has the most divine blog and the enamel sign i purchased a few months ago while on a trip to buenos aires' san telmo street fair.  note that it says cafe-bar so you know in this house there is tea time and cocktail time, two spectrums of enjoyment.
 
what a better moment than a calm quiet break to give my daily thanks, (the miners in chile are soon to see the light of day again, emotional sniffing as i write this), to ask for those i love, to put myself into HIS hands.

...and the person i'd most like to have tea with today jamie lee curtis=smart,beautiful,funny,sexy, sensual, profound,and CREATIVE!  she writes children's books which have become national bestsellers, this is what i call a complete woman. did you hear her goodbye speech when her father tony curtis passed away?  right on!
