I Admire all your work! God bless you richly. You are an inspiration. We splurged on high tea at the Empress in Victoria Canada when our children were young. Twenty years later we still talk of our memories. :-).

I have a soft spot in my heart for "tea time", even though I'm from the U.S. My love for "tea time", as we tended to call it, came from a dear missionary in Ethiopia named Mr. Speedy(sp?). I don't remember if he was Aussie or English, but he loved to serve tea to anyone who visited, and my parents occasionally did so as fellow missionaries. I was very little, but I loved "tea time" so much that my parents started having it at our house sometimes, a custom that continued throughout the years and added siblings. :-) Some of us still gather sometimes for afternoon tea.Mary E.

I would like to think I would take in my grandchildren if needed and start all over again and raise them. The thought exhausts me when I think that taking care of my grandson usually requires two days to recover from. Your little teapot circle is so cute. What are you going to do with it?
