Happy Teacup Thursday!!

We have gathered together our Violets and Pansies Teacups and Teapots to share with you over the next few weeks...



Did you know that Violets are a symbol of "Faithfulness"?


"Look at us," said the violets blooming at her feet,
"all last winter we slept in the seeming death but at the right time God awakened us, and here we are to comfort you."
~Edward Payson Rod
