We've just graduated another kiddo through Driver's Ed!! What a feat!! Driving into town 2x a day (a 20 minute drive, one way, not to mention road construction!!) One day, after the pick up, I hopped into my friend's shop on the square in Indianola...what a special surprise awaited!!   Isn't this a lovely teapot??!  Beth & Dennette  Beth and Dennette's shop, Burlap & Roses, is on the square in Indianola and is filled with all kinds of fun things...if you haven't had a chance to stop in, you must...of course, after you've had tea at Miss Spenser's!! (SMILES).  Burlap & Roses ~ South/East corner of Indianola Square If you find something you like, don't leave it there...chances are, it won't be there when you return!  Thanks Beth and Dennette for the great find!

Teacup Thursday: Violets and Meanings

Image
To Continue our "Violet" Flower theme... this week I'm going to share with you the violet's symbolism in Christianity. Violets are a symbol of modesty according to Women for Faith and Family. They are also associated with Mary. One tale tells that all violets were originally white, but after watching Mary's grief and despair over son suffering on the cross, the violets turned themselves purple as a symbol of her mourning.   Other's Who Are Participating in Teacup Thursday!
