A TEACUP KIND OF DAY


Well, here it is Friday. A busy work week coming to an end. Seeing this beautiful teacup and dessert plate reminds me to relax, keep my cool, remember the elegance of life in everything I do, savor the sweet moments. This year I've vowed to keep fresh flowers on my desk everyday. It is so much nicer to come to my desk when I have those flowers to look forward to. Live a creative life. Make things nice to look at. Make a choice about what you see. Use a teacup !!!!! Have your lunch on a nice plate. And............have a great Friday !!!

It strikes me as funny that all of a sudden a memory of tea/coffee cups just popped into my mind. Is this maybe really meant to be a coffee cup?????? I used to be a member of a group of ladies who had a monthly tea.......they used plates and cups like this but they served coffee. I was quite young (mid twenties) and they were all grandmothers. They never quite knew what to think of me, I suspect. But I always enjoyed their company. We all lived in a small town in Wyoming and I found it quite sweet that they found a way to keep the elegance in their lives, even out in the middle of nowhere.
