Come Sit With Me

the teapot is behind you.
Now tell me about hundreds of things. "

    I love the Saki quote...there is something deeply welcoming in the words the "find yourself a cup of tea; the teapot is behind you". How wonderful to be treated as family/friend who know to help themselves, and not as a guest to be served. Thanks Barb, very touching. I might have to steal this quotation ;)

    Anne, feel free to 'steal away. I've often loved and used your quotes here. Have a wonderful day. Wish we could sip tea together sometime.

    Barb, let us both look forward to the possibility of sharing a cup one day when our paths cross! :)
