Nice Hot Cups Of Tea For My Friends To The East


It is said that a cup of tea helps make everything better.


So I'm pouring nice hot cups of tea for all my friends to the east 
who are cold, wet, muddy, without power and dealing with damaged property.


Sending hugs and hope as you assess the damage from Frankenstorm Sandy
and begin the massive clean-up.

  4. Oh, your blue tea things are lovely! I love the Shelley teacup especially! Yes, a cuppa tea helps one feel better. A touching post for all our friends who have been devastated by the superstorm; on the east coast and in parts of Ontario too. Thank you for coming to tea and have a wonderful week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  12. That is a thoughtful gesture. Wouldn't it be great if we could all go and take tea and scones to everyone.
    Makes me feel so helpless when these things happen.
    But we are all Unified, as a human family, to care and pray for each other.

  20. Oh! Oh! I know that Shelley blue - have had my eye on one just like it at the tea shop around the corner - but frightfully out of my pocketbook's range. Hoping I might barter a thing or two eventually for it - the shape, the feel of a Shelley at that quality level. Thank you so much for blessing my teatime self after our storm. All is well and back to normal in our town, but just a 30 minute drive away - total devastation. Prayers for our shoreline neighbors is always appreciated.
    Joy!
