My Cup of Tea

"I smile of course, and go on drinking tea, yet with these April sunsets, that somehow recall my buried life and Paris in the Spring, I feel immeasurably at peace, and find the world to be wonderful and youthful, after all."

~ T.S. Elliot, Portrait of a Lady ~

I've been reading the classic "The Secret Garden,"

every night after putting the kids to bed... and for the 

ultimate experience, I have to have my cup of tea:

Honey Vanilla Chamomile... so good!

Here are the free graphics sources I used

to compose "My Cup of Tea" gift tags:

 *Vintage Images*

Pansy-filled teacup & saucer

*The Graphics Fairy*

French sheet music

 *Altered Bits*

Grungy texture

Thank you!!

I love this beautiful poem, "Mother's Hands," 

written by my dear friend ~ Janet Martin.

She wrote it in honor of all the women in her life...

so brew your own cup of tea, and visit her 

at Another Porch.  You'll be so glad you did!

Wishing a Happy Mother's Day

to all you beautiful women out there!!!

P.S.... I'm sharing these tags at
