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...
Beautiful post. We are blessed.
ReplyDeleteI love your china. I have those plates too but they are in NY and I am in Louisiana. But, I had many happy years proudly setting the table with them and adding on to the collection. I like the old ones!
Have a wonderful day with loved ones.

ReplyDeleteWhat a truly gorgeous post!
I posted a tea party yesterday but forgot to take a pic of any of the cups - I had them on stands behind the dining table.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, friend!
Love the turkey teacup!

I have this same teacup and just realized I hadn't used it until today. The plate is beautiful too. Sounds like you had a special day.
