Teacup Thursday: Peacock Teacup

-

The Peacock has held the world in fascination for many centuries! It's also embodied many various symbols in religions and cultures. Out of all that I've read this is what I liked best about the Peacock's Symbolism - that it is thought to  symbolize "Renewal". Often peacocks are pictured with their heads turned to their tale feathers, every year they grow a new set of tale feathers, representing 'renewal'. So with that in mind, I hope you all take a moment today to pause, enjoy a cup of tea and 'renew' your spirit! ~ Miss Spenser

    How beautiful! I have never seen a peacock cup and saucer. Still trying to get back to normal after the MT trip. I had so much fun.

Once Upon a Tea Cup - Dreams Really Do Come True

Well, friends, today is the day…my mom and I will be flying out of Des Moines Airport to Chicago, and then on an overnight flight to London!! We will be in their fair country for 6 days; then heading on to Germany for 2 weeks. We are so excited! We hope to share pictures with you along the way…so stay posted.  This little dream started about 8 years ago, over a cup of tea. My mom and I discovered how much we enjoyed the ritual of a cup of afternoon tea…I was 14 at the time. One day, my mother came up with the brilliant idea that we would travel to England when I graduated in 4 years and have tea with the Queen! (smiles). We shared our grandiose idea with dear ole’ dad and he said, “That’s nice, how do you plan on funding your trip?” Well, naturally, we thought he would, so since he wasn’t offering, we put our heads together and came up with our tea business to help fund our way.  Finally, we are fulfilling this dream! Thank you to all of our tea friends...
