Each preparation of the leaves has its individuality,
its special affinity with water and heat,
its own method of telling a story,
the truly beautiful must always be in it.
~Okakura Kakuzo, The Book of Tea
Many things bring great delight to me: tea, gardens, flowers, outdoors, food, and friends that cross my path. These all make my heart sing with small chuckles, giggles, laughter, and tears. It is my desire to seek beauty all around me, have the heart of a wanderer, a storyteller.

What a perfect quote! And a beautiful still life, too, Marilyn!
Well that beautiful quote certainly rules out throwing a tea bag in a mug and hoping for a good cuppa in no time flat! Oh the lovely teapots - the pink transferware one is such a gorgeous shape - is it vintage Marilyn?
Sipping coffee right now but promise to make up a pot of good tea this afternoon!
Love, Mary
Lovely quote and photo. (Can definitely see your photography class shining through!)
Beautiful thoughts! Beautiful composition!
