Welcome to our
11th Teapot and Tea Things Tuesday
Wanda and I want to thank you all for your kind words and your beautiful contributions the last few weeks. I have been humbled and inspired by each of your table settings, precious tea treasures and kind comments. It is wonderful to hear the sweet memories that some of you have shared surrounding your china.
We look forward to seeing your creative adventures in photo and prose, this week.
Unique Treasures
Respect...is appreciation of the separateness of the other person,
of the ways in which he or she is unique.

When you imagine a teacup, what do you see in your mind's eye first? Perhaps, like me you picture flowers, of various colours and varieties or swirls and geometrics. I have two teacups and a cream and sugar, to share with you, that are not the typical floral treasures in my collection. I think that is why these new pretties were so endearing to me. They were a pleasant change to what I usually purchase. They were unique and that is what made them so appealing.
I invite you to sit by the window, enjoy the green-ness of the garden and contemplate on the people you have met that are special because they are unique. I will serve tea and we can reminisce about how they have touched our lives and perhaps opened our minds' to new ideas. Are we not all the same but different? I think God wanted it that way. And it was good.

The table is set
Paisley
Black Lace
More Black Lace
A champagne glass that I have used for lemon slices before.
It was the perfect colour. A tea light for ambiance.
Seashell plate for some lavender short breads.
A touch of yellow flowers to tie it all together.
Just cute!
Blooms (weeds) from the park
The same but different
1 John 4:11
My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love!
And another week begins. We invite you to take a moment to enjoy the vignettes and special tea treasures that they have to share. The sincere invitation to join the party is always there.
We are all encouraged by your comments.
