Teacup Thursday: Bachelor Buttons

-
Fairy babies so sweet and small 
Quite simply hard to see at all 
Asleep on Bachelor Button beds 
Babies Breath pillows at their heads.
An excerpt from A Fairy Poem by Diana Greenwood


Happy Teacup Thursday!

    I would love to tuck my head on a bachelor button bed and sip tea from this very pretty cup. I always love fairy stories and quotes.

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...
