Truly, I'm grateful for the downtimes I spend during my workday.
  I remember my first year of college @ Langston University:   I found the  

Desiderata 


and it's call and meaning has never left my inner core!

Oh, How I also love a Weeping Willow Tree..... this one of off 36th & Western and Ollie Street-OKC...     Breathtaking.  I rolled the windows down, slowed in driving thru the neighborhood, fully experienced the shadows and shade  if this tall, elegant tree.   I certainly didn't feel like Weeping.... but Joy and Rejoicing!  Nobody but God!!!  PTL


Today
I'm sipping from another Royal Albert Kentish Rocthe light floral scene on my estate sale collectible for $3.00 cup only!

Sandi @ Rose Chintz Cottage  
made reference to the Royal Albert Leaf  Design on her cup....
It's an 'aaaah-haaa' moment when I see the beautiful small details!

I'll probable be so enthusiastic in learning my china.....  The dainty double gold edged cup is described as "COUNTESS SHAPE";   an older version whose backstamp is As Supplied to Her Majesty Queen Mary.

 I googled... and was pleased to find a bit about the Kentish Rockery RA series (discontinued via 1960-1980!)
Since I have only the cup.... ...Etsy shop photos (below) show the a scenic garden with birds and butterflies in dainty shades of pinks, greens and blues.... someone described flowers like foxglove and roses!!??  adding to the romanticism of English royalty!

Have a wonderful day.......  I'd love for you to share in my visits to
