44th Tea Pots and Tea Things Tuesday Kristina


Welcome to...

44th Teapot and Tea Things Tuesday







In youth we learn: in age we understand.

Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach



Jamie Lee Curtis



“Is there really a human race?

Is it going on now all over the place?

When did it start?

Who said, “Ready, Set, Go”?

Did it start on my birthday?

I really must know.

Do I warm up and stretch?

Do I practice and train?

Do I get my own coach?

Do I get my own lane?

Do I race in the snow?

Do I race in a twister?

Am I racing my friends?

Am I racing my sister?

If the race is a relay, is Dad on my team:

And his dad and his dad? You know what I mean.

Is the race like a loop or an obstacle course?

Am I a jockey, or am I a horse?

Is there pushing and shoving to get to the lead?

If the race is unfair, will I succeed?

Do some of us win? Do some of us lose?

Is winning or losing something I choose?

Why am I racing? What am I winning?

Does all of my racing keep the world spinning?

If I get off track when I take the wrong turn,

Do I make my way back from mistakes? Do I learn?

Is it a sprint? A dash to the end?

Am I aware of the time that I spend?

And why do I do it, this zillion yard dash?

If we don’t help each other we’re all going to CRASH.”



“Sometimes it’s better not to go fast.

There are beautiful sights to be seen when you’re last.

Shouldn’t it be that you just try your best?

And that’s more important than beating the rest?

Shouldn’t it be looking back at the end

that you judge your own race by the help that you lend?

So, take what’s inside you and make big, bold choices,

And for those who can’t speak for themselves,

use bold voices.

And make friends and love well,

bring art to this place

And make the world better

for the whole human race.”

I welcome all of you to tea.  I hope your week has been as exciting as mine!  I have had tea party every day and better yet it was with my daughter.  Kristina has been home for reading week and we have kept the kettle busy into the wee hours of the night.  So many things to chat about.  Amazing to hear all the things she has learnt on this journy.  I find it so amazing to watch my little girl maturing into a fine young woman.  Back to university tomorrow and the tender care of my dear friend Wanda for a few more weeks.


So I apologize for not making the rounds and to chat you this week, we needed to catch up on two months of tea.  I am always grateful for your visits and your comments.

A Mother and Daughter Tea


The makings of a great occasion



Mother and daughter teacups

A thrifty purchase

Feathers, vintage lace, pearls and china, of course.

Pretty lace

Cream or sugar??


Reflections


My butterfly is flourishing


Fluttering to take flight



Perspective











Direct your children onto the right path,
and when they are older, they will not leave it.
Proverbs 22:6 (New Living Translation)



~ I encourage you to stop by and savour another cup of tea while you enjoy their pretty vignettes.



The more the fun!


We don't want to miss a single teacup or teapot!

  6. I love the poem by Jamie Curtis. It is so wonderful to be able to chat with your daughter and share a cup or two of tea as you do. Blogging , however great a time we have with it, should most definitely not interrupt time with family and friends in person, NEVER !Good for you and for your daughter, what a blessing for the both of you.

  12. How wonderful, your daughter is home, and able to share tea with you. That brings back memories for me. I love the way the 'mother' tea cup is cradling the 'daughter' tea cup - you've posed them so poignantly. A perfect vignette. Everything looks so pretty.

    Have a happy day,
    Marianne

  13. There is nothing as sweet as tea times with our daughters..I agree! I have tea with my daughter every day..but at 20, she's getting so busy, that I know I'm enjoying 'borrowed time'. :o)

    You really take the most lovely photos! I ADORE those tea cups with the gold trim! My favorite cups are the very ornate ones. :O) Thanks so much for joining my tea party. I feel so honored!
