Sweet Teacup






Sometimes the smallest things
 bring the biggest smiles.






They can have some real beauty to them, too.






In our busy days of haste

its sweetness is easy to overlook.






I am so glad I really looked today.

Hope you are, too.





As always, thank you for visiting, it means a great deal to me.

      You aren't the first person to tell me that. Makes me worried - I know it's getting missed. Sigh.

      Thanks for visiting! Hugs!!

    I think your pictures of the teacup could inspire us all to slow down and enjoy a lovely cup of tea in the afternoon.

    Hi Michele!
    Blogger does not give me the option of turning word verify off. And I have tried and tried to find out why and can't. If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Take care, Mary from Boogieboard Cottage
