Monday's Quotes

Nowhere is the English genius of domesticity more notably
evident than in the festival of afternoon tea.
The mere chink of cups and saucers tunes the mind
to happy repose.
~George Gessing

A Social History of Tea by Jane Pettigrew

This quote was used in a presentation I did at the NW Tea Festival
this past weekend in Seattle.

    …."chink of cups and saucers", oh yes that really makes me homesick, only English bone china does that with perfection!

    Love it - love you and all you share about tea.
