Tea Cup Swap and a small stone

  A few weeks ago
hosted a tea cup swap.
Nathalie from
was my swap partner.

I am late getting the photo up,
but it does not lessen how much
I love what she sent me.
This lovely 1960's tea cup and saucer
came with some delicious plum tea bags
and a sweet note made from the box of tea.
I love the design and the colors.
Thank you so much Nathalie,
I love it!  Swaps are so much fun!

Here is my small stone for today...
for info click on the
A River of Stones logo in my sidebar.


Sharp repeated taps
like morse code
awaken me
my eyes open
and focus toward the sound
at my window
finding the little sparrow
who had scattered my dreams
...and I smile

Savor the Day!

Your tea cup has such a pretty juxtaposition of blossom and leaf .... And to be woken by a sparrow is a very nice thing indeed :)

love the handle on the cup..what a lovely poem. One of my fav parts of the day is when I get up early before everyone and watch the birds with my cup of coffee..so peaceful love watching the robins that come to feed on the bird feeder

Love your teacup (and the one you sent nathalie!) and your small stone.
Better to be awakened by a sparrow than a woodpecker!!!:>)
Thanks for playing in the exchange - another one coming in the spring!!
