Princess and the Pauper

As I sat with my morning tea this very day
my selection of a teacup and teapot reminded me of 
the Prince and the Pauper.
The softness of the pink cup crowned with gold made
me feel like a Princess.
The simple brown utilitarian teapot reminded me of the Pauper.
Both gifts from very different people.
Both cherished.
As I look more closely at this photo
I am reminded of the gifts dear ones give us with love.
The white teapot that is holding a bouquet was
a gift from a dear friend that loves all things white.
The trivet was made for me by a dear cousin.

So as I sit here over tea this morning
each brings a sweet memory to the table.
Reflected in the teapot is my home where love resides.

Happy Weekend, dear friends!
I will be away for a couple days.
