The Cup That Cheers
I’ll be quick to light the fire
And make a spot of tea.
Let me take your coat and hat.
The weather’s simply dreadful!
Come, step inside
And keep me company.
Sharing, yet another sweet tea gift-book today, with a few of the quotes from within.
I hope and pray that if, by chance, you are feeling blue or out of sorts,
this little teacup table with some treats will cheer you right up!
Dear friend,
this is my prayer for you:
comfort for the hours you feel alone,
wisdom to guide you on your way,
strength to always carry your own
and joy to greet you day by day.
Friends to lighten heavy loads,
family to surround you with love,
grace, as you walk life's dusty roads,
and peace and grace from above.
Let’s have
a party,
Beginning at
three.
You choose
the teacups,
I’ll pour
the tea.
You pick
the pastries,
Sweet as
can be.
I’ll toast
to friendship
Between you
and me.
Today, I'm serving fresh strawberries, vanilla bean/cream cheese dip, along with plain vanilla wafers.
I found this adorable little teacup and saucer at a local antique shop. There is nothing printed on the bottom of either piece. It looks more like a decorative teacup, than a cup to drink tea from.
I love the detail and curves.
The glory
of friendship is not
The outstretched
hand, nor the kindly smile,
Nor the joy
of companionship; It is the spiritual
Inspiration
that comes to one when you discover
That someone
else believes in you and is willing
To trust
you with a friendship.

Thursday Favorite Things (Katherine's Corner)
Simply sitting barefoot on an old back porch,
while having a
round of tea, is one of the purest pleasures of life.
Nothing nourishes a friendship like an hour of soft conversation.
In those magical moments, time stands still ~
long enough for
friends to listen with the heart, whisper kind words,
and revive one another's soul.
