As My Garden Grows . .

As I sip and relax . . .

My beautiful potted flowers are blooming!

 Grandmothers inheritance of White and gold trimmed china setting graces my table.  I think the fluted foot of these cups are so delicate and cute.   Johann Haviland (Barvarian) Germany is the marking on the set.

The coleus is a favorite annual of mine....... just lovely to my morning sense of duty in going off to work.   

I look forward to my Tuesday Cup of Tea post.  I don't prove to be a luxurious, or lacy and beautified as my friends... I do love their pictures.   

Take your own peek... as I am linking their party!!

Have a great week!

Tuesday Tea Cup via Memorial Day ~ May 2014

Here's my life in pictures . . . 

The smooth silver handle, the cup mouth is wide and flowing.... 
Castleton China @ home !! 

 or @ work . . . .  Purchased the teal blue-green cups at an Estate Sale last April 2014.   I've also seen the pretty pink Castleton China  ... and was tempted to buy a cup or two!!!  But a-las; I resisted for the time being!

Delightful ! !

Comfort Tea ~ Tuesday Tea Time

Hello Fellow Tea Drinkers.....   Regarding the highs and lows of life.....

The Holiday was a treasure....  but there's always a thief waiting in the wings.  So I'm sharing this little saying that literally saved me from insanity.   Just let me say.... it may sound horrendous but I am oh so frank - - - I've been married 40 yrs plus.... and I really don't know how I'm gonna make the next 50-60 yr mark!   I might have to shoot the old boy....

But the tea pot poem ever-so-simply says.....

"Tea steeps..... and I retreat"

and thus I retreated back into a place of grace & sanity.....    sipping until desired inner strength was reached !!!
Comfort Tea
my gift of sanity to each of you today!

Thank You Lord~God!

2 Tablespoons self-kindness

½ teaspoon time in nature

3 pinches permission to relax

One dash letting to

Finish with dollop of grace

Sip until desired inner strength is reached.

Tea Time ~ 2 Live Simply !

All Things Royal !

It's the First Tuesday in the Month of May.......2014      ~  

And last night... I danced in my chair.... for the world to see.... in Downtown Oklahoma City @ our Thunder Game!  Sideways...Upside down...yippee!!

And today.... with equally supreme joy!!!  (Thank you Lord) !!!  I drink from an overflowing cup of thankfullness and joy in the simple things in life!!!

 I'm a little mystified that this cup does not say "REGAL SERIES" as I googled out several other collectors across the web???   

But, I'm partially over that.

You see me! Enjoying my te @ work today!   My really, really favorite color is BLACK!

Yep... in so may ways!
