Watching the Sunset with a Good Cup of Tea

I could see anyone enjoying a good cup of tea

with this Ansley Tea Set.

Beautiful gold trim around the cup, 

handle, and even on the tea pot.

The decorations are so...delightful.

Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis

on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly,

without rushing toward the future. ~Thich Nat Hahn

Here are some very beautiful Infuser Tea Mugs.

I love the handles on these and

the mugs are decorated so

delicately.

The delicate flowers have flare!

Speaking of flares...I once took a friend with

me to Tennessee to visit my mother and other

family members. My mother was telling us a

wonderful story of going into another town

and she saw the most beautiful "FLARES"

she had every seen. My friend looked at me

and said, "Flares, what are flares?"

I started laughing and told her, "FLOWERS!"

She and I still laugh about that to this day.

I also had to translate other words for her. Tee-hee.

Well, I saw the most beautiful sunset last night.

My wonderful husband and I sat for a moment

to watch it unfold. I'd like to share it with you.

I hope I didn't share too many with you! It was just so glorious!! 

And the sun rises and sets on the good and the bad.

God is Gracious!!

As I was standing there taking all these beautiful pictures,

thanking God for His beauties and His mercies,

there were many people that drove by wondering what

I was looking at. A couple of people took a glance, 

but quickly looked away.

Finally, one person pulled over and

took the time to enjoy the view for only a moment

and then sped off like he was on fire.

Oh people, you need to take time to drink it all in;

quite your souls and feel the beauty.

I hope you have a lovely tea day!

Martha, Sandi, and Terri are hosting Tea Time Tuesday

for today. I would like to join them in celebrating a 

wonderful drink. The best part about the drink 

are the wonderful cups,saucers, and tea pots. 

Martha, Sandi, and Terri have many

beautiful collections. And DO check out 

the desserts!

 It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our

digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think,

unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our

emotions, our passions. After eggs and bacon it says,

"Work!" After beefsteak and porter, it says, "Sleep!"

After a cup of tea (two spoonfuls for each cup, and

don't let it stand for more than three minutes), it says

to the brain, "Now rise, and show your strength. 

Be eloquent, and deep, and tender; see, with a 

clear eye, into Nature, and into life: spread your

white wings of quivering thought, and soar,

a god-like spirit, over the whirling world beneath

you, up through long lanes of flaming stars

to the gates of eternity!"

~Jerome K. Jerome~
