(Sorry I'm not remembering the details very clearly.) It was a somber experience, but quiet and serene at the same time. <br />It makes me picture you in a quiet place at the completion of the ritual with your tea in hand and a bit more refreshed. It sounds fabulous. I wish I had a proper teapot now and not just a kettle. In fact, I have fiestaware too and your set in my colors would be divine. I think I may have to go searching for a teapot in one of my blues! ;)CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880100273708763164.post-35773396061585095492013-01-21T11:29:31.627-05:002013-01-21T11:29:31.627-05:00Regretfully the way I drink tea is rather rushed, ...Regretfully the way I drink tea is rather rushed, in a microwave, not in a lovely party setting that you have created! I love the ritual of the tea and think that just the act alone would be something soothing. Thank you for sharing! Enjoy the day.
