Happy Valentine's Day!

Dear ones,

May the Lord bring more love and blessings to your day and to your life than you ever thought possible.

"Love is like a friendship caught on fire.  In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.  As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep~burning and unquenchable."

~Bruce Lee

"Where there is love, there is life."

~Mahatma Gandhi

"A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge."

~Thomas Carlyle

O Valentines tree! O Valentines tree! 

your pretty hearts are hanging.

From top to bottom

you're so bright

There's only splendor for the sight.

O Valentines tree! O Valentines tree!

Your lights are shinning brightly.

"Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye."

~H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Sweet friends

Great love affairs start with Tea.

"Love and friendship are the best sweeteners of tea."

"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do . . . but how much we put in that action."

~Mother Teresa

"A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love."

~Max Muller

Here comes our curious Sir Rupert!

Sir Rupert once again mesmerized with the flickering of the candles.

And now it's time for tea!

Duchess came to join the fun too.

May God's blessings shine on your life today and cause your heart to know just how much  He loves and cares for you!

With love,

I'm joining . . .

To my way of thinking,

there is not a more perfect day

for tea with a friend

than when it is cold

and rainy on the outside

and there is a hot, blazing

fire on the inside.

~ Teatime Anytime ~ A book collection

From The Clever Factory

Blest be that spot, where

cheerful guests retire

To pause from toil, and trim

their evening fire.

~ Oliver Goldsmith

Our curious Sir Rupert love to watch the candles burn.

Surely everyone is aware of the divine

pleasures which attend a wintry fireside; candles

at four o'clock, warm hearthrugs, tea, a fair

tea~maker, shutter closed, curtains flowing in

ample draperies to the floor, whilst the wind

and rain are raging audibly without.

~ Thomas De Quincey

May His peace and serenity be with you!

With love,

Join us for . . .
