Life is like a tea cup, to be filled to the brim and enjoyed with friends. You have poured your sweetness into my life and I am a better person because of you.

******** There is nothing in life that cannot be solved by a cup of tea.

******** When the last drop is emptied from the cup, Friendship fills it again to the brim.

******** Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it to themselves.

******** Remember the first time we had tea? We laughed until the teapot was empty. And then filled it up and laughed some more. Pinkies up!

******** (Cute with tea pot button>
I'm a little teapot short and stout.
Here is my handle, here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up then I shout.
Tip me over! Pour me out!

******** A woman is like a teabag, It is only when she’s in hot water That you realize how strong she is!

******** When the kettle is up to her neck in hot water...
She sings.

******** Teatime is a meal for all seasons, suitable for all occasions.

******** Tea quenches tears and thirst.

******** Teatime is tasty tea, tiny food and thoughtful conversation.

******** Make new friends but keep the old,
One is silver and the other gold.

******** The very best thing is good talk, and the next best thing is a cup of tea to help it along.

******** A cup of tea 'tween thee and me; oh how lovely life will be!

******** Let's be merry and have tea!

******** Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it to themselves.

******** A sip of tea bathes the drooping spirits in delight.

******** She who sows courtesy reaps friendship; she who plants kindness gathers love.

******** The daintiness and yet elegance of a china teacup focuses one to be gentle, to think warmly and to feel close. ******** ******** My Original Friendship Teabag Saying
I'm sending you this bag of tea so you can have a cup with me.
Today our cups of tea we'll brew. You think of me, I'll think of you.
Think about the friendship we've had.
Giggle at the silly things, shed a tea for the sad.
It doesn't matter that we're far apart
With a cup of tea we're close in one heart

******** A saying that brings to mind those dear Red Hats Ladies
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, tea cup in one hand, chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride! ******** Teatime Blessing
Lord, grant that our time together be steeped in serenity, sweetened by sharing, and surrounded by the warm fragrance of your love. Amen

******** A Pot of tea from me to thee
Our friendship, brewed strong thru the years is sweet laughter mixed with fragrant steam. Sandwiches shared, scones for good measure chatting and sharing, taking our leisure. Shared strings of memories and dreams will bind us, is ours to cherish, never to become untied.

******** Dear lifelong friend, You are like a cherished teapot. Though your once bright flowers are a bit faded, and your once smooth edges show wear, you are the first and always chosen in my day. You pour knowledge steeped in wisdom, fragrant with acceptance, sweetened with love.

******** On Giving a daughter a Teapot
As you start a new home, I pass on this teapot, brown-glazed, old and squat, unlovely, yes... But it's more than a receptacle for tea, having long experience in brewing endurance, containing patience and dispensing courage. Clasp trembling hands about this treasure when the need asserts itself. Over a steaming cup the lump of grief-intolerable at times - softens, and bitterness dissolves. With clearer eyes one looks through this amber well at truth, and rises hope-refreshed. Unfailingly with me it has been thus...with you also let it be. Anonymous.

The original Friendship Teabag saying is my own verse. Some of these sayings are copied or adapted from If Teacups Could Talk by Emilie Barnes; others from You're Just My Cup of Tea collection by Harvest House Publishers, paintings by Camille Ellerbrook; and some are straight from my heart.
