Hi!
Ever get carried away with an idea? Seems I did this week. For some reason, just the mention of teacups brings out the stories and Kleenex.
Now if you have no interest whatsoever in teacups, just give this week a pass. I've got something much different planned for next week.
During the 30 day challenge I got to hear lots of stories. I cannot tell you what a treat it was to hear about the grandmas, aunts, moms, and sisters who made someone feel loved through the sharing of a warm beverage served in a fancy teacup. Amazing how such a small thing can trigger a great catharsis for someone.
The only childhood connection I have with teacups is the pretty set of plastic play dishes I got for Christmas when I was six. But I always dreamed that one day, when I was all grown up, I would have some real ones. So I started collecting. All 26 of mine are from places like France, England, and Ireland.
Apparently I'm not the only one obsessed with collecting them. I've heard from people who have scads more than this.
