Happy Thanksgiving!

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." 
~Melody Beattie



Happy Thanksgiving to all our Tea Friends! At this time of year, we bring out our Johnson Brother china, "His Majesty" to help us celebrate Turkey Day! Surrounded by friends and loved ones, may you cherish this Thanksgiving Day!


"Forever on Thanksgiving Day
The heart will find the pathway home."

    Hope your day was extra special.
    I love the dishes and have one teacup in this pattern,
    which I have been sipping tea from for the month of November.
    What a treat to have a whole set to use for Thanksgiving.
