shall we?

it's that day of the week again when we gather to celebrate the joys of home sweet home and what could be more inviting than a 'cuppa at Teacup Tuesday and Artful Affirmations

so bring out your linens

prepare the wares

and

settle into your favorite chair

then relax, look around you, read a poem

get taken away to my sweet savannah from etsy

or visualize Ann Wood's hangers

remember the dream

art by JoAnna Pierotti

it might be your only quiet time of the day to

stop

and

smell the

gardenias

and as always, the persons i would most enjoy tea and conversation with today

clementine and sir winston churchill

who proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that

"love is the passionate and abiding desire on the part of two people to produce together the conditions under which each can be,and spontaneously express,his real self; to produce together an intellectual soil and an emotional climate in which each can flourish far superior to what either could achieve alone"

written by another sir....William Shakespeare

isn't it a

they've got me hooked those gals at Teacup Tuesday.  i'm adding a new twist to the gathering by choosing a person i'd most like to have tea with today.  hope this amuses you. TCT has me looking everywhere now for old english & german teacups.  this beauty was found at a flea market contact last saturday.  won't you come and sip some tea  and orange filled chocolate cookies with me and sharon small?

person i'd most like to have tea with today: sharon small of the inspector lynley series, i simply adore her!
