Teapot is on, the cups are waiting,
Favorite chairs anticipating.
No batter what I have to do,
My friend, there's always time for you

I'm having...Irish Breakfast Tea from Taylors of Harrogate. It is great on a cold morning as it warms me from the inside out.
My teacup is... actually "tea mug" that was given to me by Ron's sister and brother-in-law along with the Irish Breakfast tea. It's very plain with a bold shamrock and simply the word Ireland on it, but it means a great deal to me for it was given with love.
I'm feeling...invigorated. Yesterday was my meeting with Sister Dorothy for Spiritual Direction and I feel renewed.

Now dear friends please stop in at Ruth's delightful and cozy "tearoom" and enjoy! The book, Take a Little Time for Tea is a delightful book with recipes and sayings by the wise and learned.
Hi Cathy! This is a beautiful tea celebration. I love the quote you have here.
ReplyDeleteYes, morning tea is wonderful and even more if shared with a friend. Thank you for the pleasure of your company.

I drink tea myself. Right now I'm enjoying my first cup of the day. Stopped on my way to work--to pick up a tall (in that styrofoam cup!) one from Dunkin' Donuts. 2 tea bags, please. Skim milk--one sugar. ;-) Thanks for the steer over to Celebrate Friendship! Havea wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI once found a wonderful shamrock mug that said "Ireland" at a yard sale for 25 cents- and it was actually made in Ireland, not China! I gave to some friends who love the land! Thanks for sharing your tea!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy!
ReplyDeleteI'm having Russian tea in my favorite big mug:-)
Hi Cathy, I enjoyed reading your post. I also love tea. Have I told you how much I like the new look of your blog? It's very pretty. Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteOh, I was a big tea drinker for years and years when I went off of coffee, but now I'm back to coffee again!
ReplyDeleteI do like a nice cup of tea every now and then though.
'Loved the little tea poem, and hearing about your tea mug!
All the best,
Eileen
This is so cute Cathy, I am a coffee drinker but I drink from a mug I bought in Ireland in 2008, it's green with white sheep on it and I reach for it every morning, coffee just doesn't taste the same if not in my favorite mug......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteA rose tea cup with g'night tea and honey! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a cuppa with me!
Wow! I can't believe how many people here drink from mugs that are from Ireland!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your tea today Cathy!
oh how simple and fun! I may have to do this one tomorrow when I'm home to take a pic of my mug and enjoy the tea....or maybe I won't wait and will have some here at work.....hmmmmm, decisions!!!
